Superjedi's Fugly ESB for BudaFett

[superjedi]

Dome damage begins! You can see that there's not nearly the same amount of damage and grunge as there is on the SE version.
I'll continue working around the dome from here.

 

[superjedi]

Here's the next section of the dome. From here we'll jump across the ear arch and do the cat scratch area.

Speed demon! Love it!

Wow

 

[superjedi]

The cat scratch "region" is one of my favorite areas to paint! This is such a distinguishing feature of the ESB bucket.

Here's the turn signal area. I've also painted in the dent. I'll work on that next.

Looking sexy

Looking sexy

Agreed!

 

[superjedi]

Dent time! My favorite part to paint.

 

[Frogfreak]

Looking great as always!

 

[superjedi]

Thanks!
The top of the dome isn't spared from damage. Watch your head, Boba!

 

[superjedi]

Time for a dash of color!
Masking the killstripes takes longer than actually airbrushing them, lol. But the results are always satisfying.
I used Archive-X acrylic SP Armour Yellow, with some vintage Polly Scale SP Scarlet for the "fade" effect.

 

[superjedi]

With the details around the killstripes finished, I can call the dome complete! There will be some effects added during final weathering, but now it's time to move down to the cheeks.

Hi unbelievable paint work looks amazing. I’m new to this game. Are the grey damage and ware hand painted or stencilled? Only beginning to learn the techniques.

Thanks! I do the damage/details topically.
I do use Stevie stencils that I transfer onto the helmet, and then I hand paint the gray and silver with fine detail brushes.

Many thanks, where do I get those Stevie Stencils from if you don’t mind?

 

[superjedi]

The stencils i use are adapted from a set created by a member here called Rafalfett. There's a thread that's pinned near the top of the helmet section called stencils and templates, or something close to that.

Your paint jobs are so beautiful! I love them. I'm sorry to ask , but I'm from germany and maybe that's why I don't understand it . What is a stevie stencil? I don't get it with drawings transfer paper and rubbing it on the helmet.

Sorry if it's a dumb question

 

[superjedi]

I think it was a problem with autocorrect. It was just supposed to be stencil. No stevie
