[marsh geode]

Flippin amazing my friend, is what that's going to be

[fickle orbit]

Another coat of primer 🙃 and more sanding

[fickle orbit]

BONDO EVERYWHERE

[fickle orbit]

Last bit of sanding before last prime and finally moving on to paint

[fickle orbit]

First coat of paint

[fickle orbit]

Knocked down some fuzz off the first layer of paint with a 1000 grit sponge

To anyone that finds this thread and do the same. Do yourself a favor and grind the process out. To smooth out your helmet is huge in your end result.

That is so smooth. Well done. I love it. Any ideas on what commanders helmet you want to paint

[fickle orbit]

I’m going straight white basic. Weathering as needed off of this

[marsh geode]

So i take it your printer bed is kinda on the large side ? I'd love to be able to make a helmet like this, but lack the print bed area.

[fickle orbit]

me adding wash trusting the process

[fickle orbit]

It’s a Neptune 4 plus

[marsh geode]

so , 320 x 320 x 385

[fickle orbit]

Bingo

[marsh geode]

That weathering looks great. you been doing this a while? Or are you going to tell me this is your first attempt at a helmet ? 😉

absolutely amazing job

[fickle orbit]

My weathering for the most part has come from about 2 years of gunpla building and dioramas.

[marsh geode]

Gotcha, looks professional from where im sitting

[fickle orbit]

Thank you! this is my first large project outside of gundam so I’ve been freaking out with the scale lol

[fickle orbit]

I’ve made this fucker look like it’s come out of the Star Wars equivalent to The Battle of Falluja

[fickle orbit]

Test fitting the visor, tinting it and cut the strip just about to size

[lyric sun]

[slim imp]

That wash makes it's twice as good. It's brilliant. Well done

[fickle orbit]
