my husband wants me to do a boba helmet paint up for him, and i am game for the challenge! i've read and read and re-read, and watch videos about the process and i've really got the impression that there is more than one way to skin a cat.
i figure there are two options for me:
1) start with a silver/chrome base and build up my paint layers from there; stencil on the details, masking and then airbrushing on the subsequent layers, using a fine paint brush for some of the more minute details.
2) start with the classic boba green (or red for other areas) base and paint on the damage layers; stencil on the details but probably not masking and using the airbrush, instead using a brush to hand paint all the details.
i see option 1 as utilizing an airbrush more, and option 2 as using hand painting more.
my concern with the hand painting is i don't want it to look like it was "hand painted" with brush strokes.
just looking for some guidance, advice, or debate about what will come out looking the best. (i don't think either option will be "easier" than the other. both options have considerable amount of work involved!)
thanks!
