Changed my approach to the dent, may need a rethink for the whole area
More detail needs to be added and refinement

Here's abit more on the blaster scar





I still need to get it to blend into rest of helmet paint, may need to add more silver then try paint it so it looks realistic. Maybe a border of fine carbon scoring then to paint
What do you guys think

Looks amazing.   For the blaster scar, you might get a more realistic look if you paint it "charred" and drybrush the silver, that way it would look like it charred and the raised surfaces have rubbed the charring off a bit over time?

Thanks vod, I've been thinking of how to blend it, I'll see if I can do what you've suggested

we are working on a project and tried to figure out how to do a blaster scorch that looked like it had been there a while and that is how we are going to try it.   we're going to paint it normal, then weather the whole thing, then a black smudge where the blaster hit, then drybrush the base color over it to get the raised areas like the scorching has been rubbed off over time, then weather THAT so it doesn't look like fresh paint over the scorch.   it's more work, but I think it's the right general direction.

That's true, I'm not fussed about the work, it's the realism and quality
Thanks heaps vod, I'll try what youve said

I can see that, it is coming along amazingly well.   Can't wait to follow the rest of your build and paint.   I have a lot to learn here :D

Looks good. Back panels look great.
Have you considered a blackwash of the blaster acar? If you take a utility knife or xacto blade and score the dent like a boba, a black wash will cling to the scratches and really make the dent pop. If you need to, you can touch up the highlights after the wash.
