slave1pilot's newest Helmet paintjob FINISHED

[SEEKER]

Now it looks powdery under the eyes. I dont like it! change it back.

Or remove the powder look.

:facepalm

Thank you.
The mods that I did are;
1. Fill/sand the seams
2. File out the teeth
3. Replace ears, lenses, mic tips, and brow trim
4. Cut brow higher
5. Repaint.

Total cost? Still at least $125 and several hours of work cheaper than building an AP kit. Nice work, Nate!

I've got to agree with Turo. The sand under the eyes seems like eye shadow or something.

 

[Cerillo]

Nate, are you going to Frank N' Sons?

 

[slave1pilot]

Which sandy are you doing?? is there a reference photo of a particular one?

Not really.
The helmet , blasters, packs, & armor change so much between scenes that I couldn't pin-point just one.

Nate, are you going to Frank N' Sons?

Of course
That's why I'm trying to finish this Sandy in time.

Too bad I'm not gonna wear the Boba with your HIC there.

 

[slave1pilot]

Total cost?

I got the helmet on the RPF for $84 shipped
The new tube stripes were $8
The ears were $25
The lenses were cut from extra Face-shield used for Boba $0
Paint was under $5
so, I guess that would be $122

I agree with the others bro, looks to much like makeup. Should have left it alone. I went home last night after seeing this thread and I darkend mine up a bit more. I'll post some pics later tonight.

 

[Spideyfett]

Yes, change it back.

 

[HeadlessHunter]

I think it looks amazing, you've done a great job turning an already great helmet into a fantastic helmet

 

[Darth Nickel]

I don't know Nate. I kind of liked the first one, but the second isn't bad. That's what I love about sandy buckets... you really are never "wrong"

I do the same weathering with acrylic. You could grab some more tans for the eyes if you wanted to make another change.

I do a little different technique, but you get the same idea...

I'll start a new thread with some of my TKs. I don't want to take away from your awesome work here. I'm still amazed this is a CE...

 

[slave1pilot]

Well since everyone hates the new paint under the eyes,
I'll toss this one in the trash & start over

 

[Bountyone]

Here's a few of my AP bucket and Pack.

 

[tubachris85x]

[slave1pilot]

So...
I went to fix the eyeshadow problem
clipped the door knob on the way outof the "Star War Room"
And dropped the helmet on the tile floor.:cry

 

[hal2184]

Looks like it's been dropped, banged up, and dragged thru a sandstorm...

In other words, an amazing job!!!

 

[Genearal Fett]

Amazing helmet.

 

[Yakface]

Really nice job.

 

[D R Mortis]

Nice work - I like both - hopefully it survived the fall.

Yes it did.
one small chip on the left tube is all the damage it sustained
I left it on there for weathering
here's the helmet with the completed costume
