Yet another ESB using a cold cast FPH2

[jonbenm]

Using Raf's templates again they were resized by somebody here on the forum I forget who it was but thank you, you kind sir!! They fit perfect

The layering process is going by very smooth I don't have any pics in between layers but I finished up the 2 hardest parts I got the dome all done (except the killstripes) and the back panels done in about a day and a half of staying up late after my son and wife fall asleep lol I polished up the cold cast and man it looks good!!! It's the perfect shine its by far my favorite helmet I've done so far I have a few things here and there I need to tweak but it's going great so far

Same. This is, I believe FP's Premium offered by Animefan not a FPH2. Looks great though, looking forward to seeing it finished!

Yes, sorry, that's what my confusion was although even a rudimentary examination of the photos should have informed me this was MR based. It was late.

Back panels looking strong. What main green are you rocking?

Yes, dome main green.

Humbrol 78 or whatever was on the TF list?

Thanks!! Yeah I am really liking the cold cast Ryan's helmets polish up so nice and the way the light hits it.....it looks so much better than silver paint in my opinion.

I got all excited that someone resized the templates for the FPH2

Thanks man!!! Lol sorry for the confusion but the stencils fit fairly well a little big on some parts but nothing crazy and a little small on others, might have been the way I printed it too but the rear left side damage is a tad small I noticed
