With the damage preserved in the surface of the helmet, I'm able to do fun stuff like do all the fine scratches before I paint the silver and gray areas.
Thanks! You should like this then...
Cat scratch time! I love doing this feature. The molded-in layers give somewhat of a guide, but you have to keep a pretty steady hand!
This SE damage is so much fun! I weathered this part by dropping the helmet off the top of the Empire State building.
Oh, and the dent is finished too. Lol
Again, having the damage in the surface of the cast allows me to do all of this before painting the killstripes.
How about some color! I got the killstripes on this morning. Lots of checking and double checking the molded-in remnants to make sure everything is positioned correctly.
Now I can finish the "muck" on the left side of the dome.
