The “Eyes” Fett helmet colors

[Ronin677]

I sketched the 'eyes' onto the lid and then painted them in the humbrol blue mixed with a little black. I then smudged over the eyes with the humbrol blue

Its really looking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm now thinking that the top color on the back could be CNW green. It's a glossy railroad color, but once you add a flat coat to it, it's a nice dark green. Plus it was used on the ESB body armor. All the dark military greens are too gray or too brown. Here's a mock up from scans of color chips.

Dome: Polly Scale RLM 78
Top Mandibles: Floquil Caboose
Under Mandible: Polly Scale PRR Maroon
Under Back: Polly Scale US Intermediate Blue
Top Back: Floquil CNW Green

The Keyslots are very hard to read. I'm still thinking a light gray.
