Superjedi's FPH2 for Odiwan72

[superjedi]

Back to work after Celebration Chicago! The convention was amazing and tiring and so much fun!

I got the metal ears masked and primed yesterday with some self-etching primer. This afternoon I laid down the base colors. I'll let this dry overnight then start on the damage.

 

[superjedi]

Working on the ear details. Here's the lower RF ear piece.

 

[BudaFett]

I love metal ears!

 

[SharkForge]

Absolutely love your work man...

 

[superjedi]

Thanks guys!
Here's the RF ear cap. When this is dry I'll mask for the white arch.

 

[BudaFett]

Ah much better this time around...!

 

[hvacdon]

Ears are looking Great ! It's just a shame to cover up the cool looking metal !!

 

[superjedi]

The ears are coming along nicely. I got the white markings airbrushed on, and finished detailing the RF ear cap.



I'll work on the left ear details tomorrow.

 

[MMcFett]

Oh that is so nice!

 

[BudaFett]

That exposed metal...so nice.

 

[superjedi]

It really does look cool.

Made a start on the left ear this afternoon.

 

[superjedi]

The left ear is finished!
With the metal ears, it's easy to lightly scrape along the edges to expose the silver. I'm including a comp shot of the lower facet to show mine with the screen used. Pretty close?



Next it's on to final weathering!

Amazing as always Eric! I can't wait until I can get you working on a helmet for me.

 

[superjedi]

Ear fitting. Everything is looking good.



The next update will show the finished pics!

 

[BudaFett]

Ears look great, I see mine everyday!

You can see your ears??? Your eyes must be on stalks like a Gungan.

ESB number 35 is finished! Odiwan72 will be installing a series of parts to replicate the interior of the screen used helmet, so I am not attaching the visor, the Borden, the MQ-1 board, or the RF topper.
I'll be packing the helmet up early this week for its trip to Germany.

Here's a look at the completed helmet.



Thanks for following along with this build! I'm hoping to be back soon with number 36.

 

[BudaFett]

Looks like mine!

Congratultions on 35!

Super excited to receive this within the next few weeks...hope the postal carriers and/ or customs don´t damage it!

I know I should have probably posted more, but believe me...I DID follow this thread with anticipation and joy

Curious to see, if I can find the time (and skills) to finish the interior of this bucket

Thanks a million Eric!

 

[superjedi]

You're very welcome, Markus!
I'm happy you will be adding this to your amazing Star Wars prop collection.
