Some more updates on the ROTJ helmet, did the damage on the upper cheeks and also got the weathering done on the ears. Just have to do the red now and this will be complete!

The ears look great!
Do you use a template? I looked around for one but came up empty handed.

Thanks! And no I just used visual reference images and did my best to replicate the damage

 

[RamSkirata]

Yeah, the ears DO look great!

Damn! I was hoping you has a stencil. Oh well I guess I will try to copy yours.

Sorry man I'm sure you could make a stencil with the images Rafal made though

 

[Lazerjock]

I didn't think of that. Thanks

 

[FamousFett]

I didn't think of that. Thanks

No problem, I tend to have his images pulled up as well as reference images of the real helmet while I paint, I used his stencils for other parts but for the ears I just looked at images of the real helmet

FamousFett - With each paint session the helmet is transformed and is closer to perfection. I'm glad you redid the killstripe area.

This is not a template, I just did it to complete the helmet assembly image:

Oh yeah that's what I meant to say, you have those images you made, those are very helpful! And thank you, I'm really glad I re did the kill stripes too, I was looking at a picture of them the first time and they looked so bad, it really threw off the whole look of the helmet haha

 

[Lazerjock]

I have that image. It is very helpful. I also just saved the ears you isolated from the helmet.

Very helpful indeed, I'd say have those pictures on hand and also have reference images of the real helmet with you to look at and you cant go wrong

 

[FamousFett]

Worked hard these past few days and got the red on as well as the damage!

 

[Lazerjock]

I just hope mine looks half as good when I finish.

You've got this!

Finished the ROTJ helmet! I still need to get the dental files for the back but other than that I'd say this is done! Really happy with this for my first one. I had a few bumps in the road at the start but it all worked out in the end! thanks for following a long with my thread!
