Superjedi's MF ESB for TK71321

[BudaFett]

Love that dent!

I finished up all the damage on the top of the dome. This is really one of the most intricate patterns on the helmet.

Do you think that splotch on the top of the dome is even more intricate than the right backplate with that huge scrape?

 

[superjedi]

No, not quite. But it's in the ballpark.

 

[ShortFuse]

Excellent work as always. You should venture out and do some ROTJ paintups just to get out of this ESB rut you seem to be in.

 

[BudaFett]

His next paint up is not ESB!

 

[ShortFuse]

His next paint up is not ESB!

What is it? ROTJ SE? LOL

 

[BudaFett]

NOPE!

 

[superjedi]

The dome is finished! I got in the zone and totally forgot to take pics of the killstripes once I unmasked them. Doh!
Moving on to the cheeks next.

 

[superjedi]

I got the outer cheeks blocked in and finished the right cheek.

 

[superjedi]

The left cheek is done. Next I'll be laying down the red!

 

[superjedi]

Red alert! Condition red!
Adding the red really starts to tie the helmet together. I use Archive-X D&H Caboose Red and it's just an excellent color.

I worked on the keyslot area this afternoon. Has anyone ever found a key that fits these?

Is there a reason they are called the keyslots by the community? Is it just that nobody has found a better name for them?

what's up with the top keyslot? is it supposed to be cutout like that?

Not sure really. I've always thought it was because of their shape. Maybe someone has a better answer.

All six get cutout the same. What do you mean specifically?

oh ok, nevermind, i am seeing things haha!

 

[superjedi]

I finished the center section of the red band. There's a lot of fun detail in this narrow area.

You may have talked about this before and I apologize if I am asking a question that has already been answered but how do you like working with the Archive X acrylics? I am starting to buy a few here and there but havent had a chance to really work with them.
