Dedicated my whole day to painting this back right panel, I'm not sure that I could get it much more accurate looking, a good majority of the day was spent studying photos to see how the added damage should look. everything has to be perfect because this will be my master helmet that I use to paint every other ROTJ SE helmet.

To me, the right back panel is fascinating. Soooooo much detail. And one I like in particular is the blue marker lines

Hey,
When you are done with the helmet, it would be super cool to have comparasion pics to your own helmet that you painted before this one!

Finished one half of the front mandibles, not much more to do on this! I still have to finish the ears as well.

Another update! Got the ears base color painted on and I've acquired as many found parts as I could, the borden was made by elstree which is the company the made the original metal parts, I will be getting a pair of metal ears from them as well once they are available.

FamousFett ,
Wow, thats looking so so nice! I hugely enjoy seeing the "new" lineage SE casts being painted up. Not only do I admire the skill involved, but I mean, we are getting to a point where THATS ACTUALLY THE FETT HELMET. Not only a thing made to look like one but so so close to the real one. Both in terms of lineage and, plainly, just looks!
Great work there!

Thanks man! And yeah I agree, these helmets are amazing and when enough attention is given to the paint job you really can almost have the real thing! I've been really happy with the paintjob, I didn't think I'd be able to replicate it as well as I did, I can't wait to do more and refine the paintjob even more

Finished the helmet today! I really like how this helmet turned out, it may not be 100% accurate but I think I got it really close. Thanks for following along, stay tuned for more paint ups!
