Thank you Jamo and yep daunting is a understatement, as I was as nervous as I long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs As I've had that helmet sat there for awhile and I finally plucked up the confidence to have a go at a real paint job on it but I must admit its not my first paint up as I've previously added a few splashes to a Hasbro conversion I've practiced on as I am still working on a scratch build, If you get chance you can check it out its called (making good use of the things that I've found).
I wish you all the best with your build and paint up.
Although I have noticed in your posts about paint jobs its been a rough ride and to be honest my work is no were near as good as raizo's, work, so i am sure nobody would be stealing the glory of my paint up any time soon

Nice work. Painting a helmet is not a walk in the park.

I did more charity events than com con’s but not for a while now due to the pandemic,
But hopefully I will be trooping again this year at some point.
It cleared with the 501st Uk garrison back in 2019 and I only had chance to troop a few times before lock down rules were enforced .
