I finished up the red band behind the ears. . . but I forgot to take a before shot. So here's the after, lol.
Now it's on to the front portions. I began with the area in the left corner of the visor, and the left half of the "brow" above the visor.
I also did the simulated crack repair.
Thanks! See if you can spot the differences in this update. . .
The right mandible is finished now. Whew. . . lol.
This is probably the most detail-heavy area on the whole project. Well, maybe the right rear panel, but that's debatable.
This completes the "basic" painting. I'll go back to re-add some of the pale gray, then I'll do a couple of small tweaks to the ears.
I've also got the RF assembly in prep now. I'll add the rust spots to the stalk, then paint the topper, install a couple of dummy LEDs, and slap it together. Then the whole helmet will be finished! Hoping to have time to do everything by the end of the weekend.
That looks so AWESOME !!! Fantastic job Eric !! Love the Pics !!
You've taken this helmet from "ok" to a work of art.......Thank You !!
PS - Like all great artist, I expect you to sign your work of art on the inside !!!
