R. S. helmet progress ** Update Today 10/01

[Rogue Studios]

I have two more on the table they couldn't fit in pic. This may prove something as well but if you look the helms they look a bit different but they aren't they are all MSH2's. Also the paint thrown was put on exactly the same time too and see diff hues?

You should post that at RPF to PROVE that camera angles can GREATLY affect the way a helmet looks.

Awesome work, as always.

 

[Star Wars Chick]

Hmm, that is very interesting.

Cool!!! Yeah I've been working on my bucket too, and it is just crazy how much of a difference angle makes when taking pics!! I don't know if its just the shape of the bucket or how the flash hits the thing in a certain way. The cheeks especially seem to really act weird. I took a pic, then moved about 2 inches & took another one, & the the cheecks appear to be a totally different color!!! Light blue instead of green! Do you think it may have anything to do w/ the panzer color itself?? The red doesnt seem to change that much depending on angle, but the green sure does! Anyway, the buckets are looking super Lee!

The camera lens made the one on the right look GIGANTIC!! It looks like they taper donw in size, just proves how screwy cameras and angles can be to things....

I can't help but wonder which one is mine...hmmm...

 

[Rogue Studios]

I often wonder which one I am working on ..I have name tapes on the inside it definitely gets confusing. I have to say I am very pleased at how persistent I have been on these I have treated each one as if it's the only one I have. I repainted some bad areas that I missed on a few. I even repainted one completely because I didn't like how it turned out. I should have a pretty cool update pic for everyone this weekend.

I'm moving along it's getting to the really tedious slow part but I appreciate your patience everyone. Yeah someone talked me into a Jedi scheme. You'll notice a slight scratch on each rangefinder side mandible that is a test scratch. Also the silver one just arrived the other day so I have all 8 now. Also don't worry about the silver scratches looking diff on each helm I only go so far with it and I just found a good stopping point.

Going to post a picture today I have most of the helmets masked for the kill stripes which to quit a bit of time but once I spry them it will be a major progress hurdle cleared. I have had one of those weeks where I have very little free time to devote to the helmet group but I did manage to get the rangefinder ears cleaned up and chrome painted. I also had to label everyones parts so that everyone's stuff matched up to their own helmet. Stay tuned and I'll have a picture up today.
Oh yeah all of the mandibles are at various stages but most have some basic scratches started. Also in the coming weeks I'll have a post that'll explain and show why I have had such a draining week.

Here's 6 of them 2 are being painted to catch them up top these (Deano yours is almost there) the other is a an ROTJ and I ran out of the light tack tape for the stripes. Also the colors vary but that is due to flash the back of the helmets will look like the one on the left. Almost forgot you'll notice a slight sheen to the helmets that is a sealer to prenvent the paint from ripping off I'll dull them don't worry. And thanks for your patience I realize it has taken almost 6-8 weeks for some of you at this point.

 

[DL44 Blaster]

Unbelieveable......truely awesome Lee......and to apologize for a 6-8 week interval ......you are THE MAN! I'm reading to catch up as much as you're probably painting
