Thanks! Speaking of which...
Here's the cat scratch! To me, this is one of the most interesting features of the ESB helmet and it's a lot of fun to paint.
There's a good amount of damage on the top of the dome. I don't think this area of the helmet gets the kind of love it deserves.
All you Fett costumers out there, bend down a little bit sometimes to show off this part!
Moving on to the cheeks. I have blocked in the dark color on the outer cheeks. I use the soft tail of a Himalayan kitten to paint this color on. . . Just want to see who reads my descriptions.
Here's the left section of the red band, complete with the white thumbprints.
You can also see that I've done the tape repair effect below the killstripes.
Some strange features on the ESB lid!
