Superjedi's FPH2 SE for Malc

[superjedi]

Hi everyone!
Well that didn't take long! I mailed out the helmet I just completed, and now I'm starting on number 39!
This is another FPH2 kit, and it's going to be done as a Special Edition helmet. Haven't worked on an SE for a little while so this will be fun. All the "extra" damage and grunge!
The owner bought it from someone who had prepped and primed it, so it was pretty much ready for paint right away.
I'm starting with the rear panels.

Making progress on the back panels. I've masked and airbrushed the dark green, and then tweaked the edges and added the finer detail on the left panel.

You're getting slower and slower, old man! Wake me up when you do helmet #100...

In all seriousness, I don't know how you manage to finish those helmets in no time. As always, you do a great job, Eric!

 

[MinaFett]

Looking sharp.

Thanks, Levi!

The left panel is done, including the SE damage.

 

[superjedi]

Finished with the right panel as well.

 

[superjedi]

Green time for the dome and cheeks!

 

[Malc]

I’m so excited!

 

[superjedi]

Me too!
Worked on the rear section of the dome.
Doing all the SE damage is fun!

 

[superjedi]

Got the next section behind the ear done.
Cat scratch is next!

 

[superjedi]

Cat scratch area and the turn signal area are done.



The dent is coming up!

 

[superjedi]

Here's the dent area, and the start of the SE grunginess.

 

[superjedi]

Got all the detail on the crown of the dome finished up.



Killstripes are next!

 

[Malc]

I'm gonna be thrilled to see some color on the helmet. The daily updates are really motivating the hell out of me! Cant wait to put this bucket on my head!

 

[superjedi]

Great! Glad you're enjoying the progress.
Here's some of that color you mentioned.



Here's where the fun begins!

 

[superjedi]

Ok, here's the crazy side of the SE.
So much gunk and little chips. But it's worth it!



Whew!

 

[terminal fettler]

Never get tired of seeing your excellent work!

 

[superjedi]

Thanks, Garrett.

Making good use of the weekend. I've blocked in the outer cheeks, and detailed the right side.



There are a couple of other small areas that I'll complete after I do the mandibles.

 

[superjedi]

Here's the opposite cheek.
Next... red!
