The helmet looks great. If you dont mind my asking, where did you guys find the masking fluid? The stores I went to around here didnt have any.

i've got the photos, i just haven't put 'em up yet... it was a bit nervewracking stripping the stuff off in front of a room full of people. i was so afraid that it wasn't going to work right

Unbelievable!!! And only in a couple of days. The masking technique sure beats out taping! Thank you for sharing.

that's what i love about the latex... it cuts so much drying time out.
i messed up a little bit - i didn't put it on thick enough in some places, which makes it REALLY hard to get off.
if you try it, make sure to put a few layers of the latex down, and it will go really nicely.

and if you scroll back up, you'll see this angle pre-paint and pre-washes:

That looks FANTASTIC Brian! I have to ask...how did you like the way the earcaps fit in? Did you like the fact they were pre-aligned or would you have rathered lined them up your self? I'm curious about these mods since your the first guy to get/paint up the new helmet.
Keep up the great work!

The helmet looks great, I was a little worried about the red on the mandibles looking too bright, but then it turned out great. Keep up the good work.

i found it really helpful to have the guides. one of the issues i had putting the caps on the msh2 helmet i have is that there wasn't really a good way to hold them in place while the glue set, particularly on the left cap.
the cap kept sliding down on me, so i ended up putting on one side and leaving the helmet on its side until set, then flipped it over and did the same on the other side.

the colors in the photos from my basement are all messed up due to the strange lighting. it's all flourescent, but some of the tubes are warm, some are cool, and some are "natural".
the ones taken upstairs are far more realistic

I'm done!
8 days, very little sleep, assorted colors of paint in places that don't really need to be painted, and my MS3 is now wearable!
Like all things Fett, I'm sure I'll tweak it a little, but it's Done For Now.
