Hello everyone!
So first off, I snatched up a large bulk lot of items off of ebay from a member on the forum due to the sheer amount of cool stuff in the lot.
Included was a full vacuformed set of RoTJ armor and a resin helmet.
The original owner was unsure of the maker of either the armor or the helmet so I don't know who to credit, I will say it appears to be a clean and quality cast so if anyone knows the helmet maker, please feel free to advise me so I can credit them and thank them!
So first off, im still learning. Please excuse any flaws and even though I am somewhat skilled( I say that humbly due to the sheer amount of insane talent on these boards!) I still have a long way to go.
So my work on the old Hasbro helmet gave me the feel for working with liquid masking, still figuring out the finer details.
I started by cleaning up the helmet and basing it with Duplicolor silver over the primer. This will be the base metal color throughout the helmet.
I freehanded all of the damage( as well as making tons of mistakes, hence the "inspired ") using RafelFett's amazing stencils!
I am working my way up to doing a RoTJ SE helmet, so basically the most insane ESB helmet. So this is another step towards that.
So after laying the first layer of liquid mask I used Tamiya Dark LJN green for the back panels, and also used thier Gray Green and some airbrushed black to get the fading.
The main color of the dome and cheeks is Tamiya Field Gray. All rattlecan colors
