[TK50175]

Hi, I finally finished my helmet and want to share some pictures of the making with you. My ESB WIP for the costume can be seen here:

The helmet wich was painted silver along with the jetpack has to be finished. So i Printer out Rafalfett´s famous stencils wich where scaled by Armydad in this thread:

Thank you both for doing so much for the community and make a first timer like me able to paint a such difficult bucket!

I used the famous paintlist in this thread:

I clued the stencils with spray-clue to the white tracing paper for easy handling:

Now I went on with painting the ears and the dome:

And then the cheeks and the rest:

Nearly done:

In the meantime I did some more detailing with a brush and sealed everything with clear coat. Some detailed pictures of the helmet I will post the next days...

And finally the finished helmet:

I hope you like it! Because its the first helmet I painted I am pretty pleased how it came out...

Looks amazing!

What sort of masking fluid did you use? I've tried a few different types, but that one seems thicker (and easier to remove)

I tried Humbrol and I guess it was Valejo but Humbrol was much easier to remove even after days and with layers of paint over it.
