Mika's Helmet (pic heavy)
« on: Sep 19, 2015, 02:55 AM »
Okay! So I've almost finished it lol so I figured I needed to make a thread  ;D
I bought a b grade helmet from Molan Labe :) It was in great condition and honestly not b grade in my opinion. I'm so grateful I got to buy it.
Anywho, here are the steps I took so far that I remembered to photograph.

Here was my concept


Here's the helmet before, lol I kinda missed it head on, hard to selfie when you can't see yourself XP


Did the base coat and primer


Then I did the basic weathering coat and the other paint and cut out the visor area/keyholes with the help of a fellow Mando :)



Then I finished weathering and detail painting. (And sanding) And TADA!!!




Just have the visor installation and ear cap and stock left :)

Yay!

A complete bucket, and it looks amazing! I'm even more inspired to get mine done. Still have a long ways to go though. Happy to see this a step closer in your kits completion
