Superjedi's ROTJ/SE for Viva Fett

[superjedi]

The back of the dome is one of my favorite areas to work on. I love all those fine scratches and chips! Being that this cast is derived from the original helmet, everything is exactly where it should be.

 

[BudaFett]

Almost done!

Let's be honest: you love each and every inch of the ESB helmet.

 

[superjedi]

It's true!

Moving around the dome now. I finished this tall area behind the ear arch.

 

[superjedi]

You know it, you love it, the cat scratch! It's one of my favorite areas on the helmet to paint.

 

[superjedi]

Here's the turn signal area. That means the dent is next!

Yes! It’s my favorite detail of this helmet. Love watching it reproduced , by you and others here .

 

[superjedi]

And we've come to the dent! This is my favorite part to work on.
Now that this is finished, I'll start adding all the SE "muck" between the dent and the killstripe area.

[superjedi]

Ok, you caught me!

 

[superjedi]

Let's SE things up! Doing all the damage on the left side of the dome takes a lot of patience and precision.
I do it by dumping the helmet in my dryer with a couple of cinder blocks for about 20 minutes.

You should try and free hand an ESB without stencils. See how good you really are!

I bet Eric can easily replicate the major shapes from memory, but it would be almost impossible for the finer details.

 

[superjedi]

The top of the dome has a good amount of damage, and the SE scratches just add to it.
So the dome is pretty much complete, except for 14 little yellow details.

You forgot to say "my favorite part..."

 

[superjedi]

Killstripes! These take some precise masking. The hardest part though is finding 14 more people to freeze in Carbonite every time I do a helmet!

[superjedi]

I finished the rest of the SE damage that overlaps the killstripes. There are just a couple of small details left to do on the dome, but I'll wait to do those during the weathering stages.
