Okay, so here is my first attempt at a ROTJ bucket. I'm using spraypaint for the base and I'm going back to weather it probably with acrylics (as well as the ears). I did a little bit of weathering with masking fluid with the spraypaints, and a few slashes with the exacto knife...but I'm not too pleased with it thus far.
I went by the rattlecan tutorial thats stickied on this forum, but I couldn't find some of the exact colors at my Home Depot. Here's what I used in the order I applied it:
Base - Krylon Gray Primer
"Damage" - Rustoleum Metallic Silver
T-Visor: Krylon Burgundy (no relation to Ron Burgundy)
Helmet back - Krylon Hunter Green
Dome - Mixture of Krylon Hunter Green, Krylon Olive Green and Krylon Celery
Mandibles - Flat Black, Navy Blue enamel, Hunter Green
Cheeks - Mixture of Olive green and Celery
Then I went back and misted with brown spraypaint very lightly. After that I applied the ROTJ vinyl stickers from Delucks Designs (plug).
I'd like your opinion on it, let me know what I need to work on, and if you have any kind words, that'd be fine too.
The color on the pictures is off on some, but I'm really mostly worried about the weathering and the little details. This is, afterall, a work in progress.
Profile: (the color is way off - just getting an idea of the weathering)
2nd Profile:
Close up of the "scarring" - I dont know if it should be more pronounced..the light kind of got in the way
TDH:
Side/Back:
Back - some of the primer shows up on the left side..i didn't mask it well enough
Other side/Back - the color is off
Top/Side:
Dome:
