I started mine tonight, my MH Jango helmet is no more..... I just got done making the gash in the side of the dome with the Dremel and I gave it all a good wet sanding.
I'll mask off the visor and the finished interior and hopefully have some primer on it tomorrow.
Did you do both ears the same color, or different? I'm leaning towards different, the right darker, and the left lighter..

Here they are:
Compare these with the earlier ones without clearcoat.
it made the colors sharper..
Lynn: Bothe earpieces are chrome. I just misted both slightly with some grey primer
Additional weathering will be added as soon as i have painted on the rest.

Looking good..... I ran out of primer while starting mine tonight!!!! :/ I can't do anything now until Thursday when I can get more, besides, that gives me a chance to get to the hobby shop to check out more paint for the helmet as well.

I got my bucket started tonight, I have it primed and the key slots painted yellow.
I got the paints for the dome/cheeks and the right ear/ back of the helmet.
It appears to me that the ear and the lighter back helmet color are the pretty much the same.
Mikael... Do you have any pics of the back of your bucket?

The helmet looks awesome man. I did notice something though. On the back of the real Pre Pro, the base color looks to me to be the darker navy color, with the dome/cheek blue as weathering. Are you planning on darkening this? Or are you weathering the back with dark blue and leaving the base coat the dome/cheek color?

Here is my helmet so far...
The yellow is painted on the key solts, the right ear is painted silver misted with grey primer, both are masked now or I would have gotten a pic of them.
Here is my interpretaion of the color main dome and cheeks.
The main color is a Model Master is Helbraun{SP?} I'll have to look later, it is a light blue grey mixed with some aqua and a touch of blue. It has been misted with just a touch of black and grey as well.
I wanted the green blue look to it.
The color will change a little once weatherd up more and flat sprayed over it.

Awesome to see that you've started!
Is'nt the blue a bit too bright or is it the flash playing some tricks? Looking forward seeing more of your progress
The yellow on my keyslots started to bubble and i will have to do it allover again..ARGH! Anyway i've misted the RF side lower earpiece a bit with some black so it looks a little darker than the rest of the helmet. That's how it looks to me anyhow.

The flash makes it bluer then it is in person, I hate the flash at times, I did darken it with some more grey this morning however. Once I hit it with the chalk dust, it'll darken up even more.
I hate paint yellow on top of other colors as I have problems with lifting and bubbleing at times also, I usually paint those first possible, unless it is a repaint...
I'll post more pics later.

The flash is does majorly funky stuff to the colors, just look at the ESB helmet... 
I ended up respraying it tonight the base color without it being mixed with the colors I did. I liked the stock color much better.
It is Model Master Hellbrua #4788, it is a grey blue green color, I put too much aqua and blue in it the first time around and I didn't like it much after I started looking at it.
My red will be a different set of colors then the ROTJ, I want it more red then the darker red I used on the ROTJ.

Great work on those pre-pro buckets guys! The color thing is super confusing though. Micke's bucket seems to match up perfectly with certain photos, while Lynn's matches up perfectly with other photos. anyway, they are both looking ultra-cool! Keep up the great work guys & keep postin them pics!
