A quick note I forgot last post, the cheekss will be bigger then ya need if you use WoF's templates.

But that's O.K. 'cause it'll give the glue something to hold onto.

I'm hopeing to redo all of this in a more professional manner once the Besker'gam is done.

 

now, on to the next step! :D

 

Now I don't have pics yet, but I then used the same bit yet again to cut out the slots in the back so as to get air flow.

Next I sanded it by hand with a 320 grit sanding foam block.

Then I painted it a mettalic silver from Krylon.

Use nice wide even strokes, at a distance of apx.12" I went ahead and used the hole can, so as to get a lot of coats so it won't come off.

 

Now it was quite rough after that, so I got out he 320 again and sanded it down untill it was smooth, now take care not to takoff the paint!

 

Now for my helmet, I'm doing colors that they dont make in spray paint, so I went to my local HobbyTown USA and bought an airbrush and the colors I wanted.

Now those are: Chrome yellow,and Panzer..uh..I hope I'm spelling this right, Panzer schwarzgrau...or something like that.

 

Use the same method as before, big, far-away strokes.

Now I can't tell you how many coats to do as of this post 'cause I haven't finished painting that part yet, just try to make an even paint job.

 

More updates soon.

 

(and here's what it's going to look like)
