Got2bfett Active Hunter Jan 13, 2020 #23 After probably the worst day at work in long time I come home sit with my favorite beverage of choice and just look at perfection. I just love this detail and you hit it every time SJ, bravo.

superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 14, 2020 #24 Thanks again guys! It's rolling along nicely. Got2bfett bad work days suck. Hope it gets better. Here's the giant scrape across the dome. There must be some low doorways on the Slave I.

superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 15, 2020 #25 Finally, some color! I got the killstripes airbrushed on this afternoon. Now that they're on, I can do the damage on the left side of the dome.

superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 16, 2020 #28 Glad you like it! I laid down the base coat on the outer cheeks, too.
superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 17, 2020 #29 The right cheek doesn't have a lot of damage so it goes pretty quick.
C cdyoung Hunter Jan 17, 2020 #30 Trust me. Every update is really exciting, superjedi! Thanks for posting the progress!
superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 18, 2020 #31 You're welcome. Cheekiness level is now 100%. The left cheek is one of my favorite areas on the helmet.

superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 18, 2020 #32 I took the helmet outside and it got sunburned. I think I can make it work though.
superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 19, 2020 #34 Yes, I think it's going to be ok. Beginning the damage on the red parts. Here's the keyslot area. I'll start working on the band next.

superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 19, 2020 #36 Lol, I do have a pretty good system down. Here's the center section of the band.
superjedi Sr Hunter Jan 20, 2020 #38 I finished the left and right sections of the red band. I also did a couple of the smaller details before moving to the front of the helmet. First, the white thumbprints. Then I added the "tape repair" under the killstripes. This is a unique feature of the ESB helmet. It changes appearance depending on how the light hits it.
