I've finally got my Suckface MkIII painted, polished and weathered. I'll fit the eyes that I've made tomorrow, then I need to order one of DarkJerre's eye kits.
Cheers

I agree with loner and the others. You nailed the studio quality look.
That is a thing of beauty! Truly amazing, good job!
looks great especially the weathering!!!
Thanks guys. If anyone's interested I used Citroen Wicked Red and a 2002 Toyota 580 Yellow basecoat for the gold.
I got the eyes in today. Here are a load more photos.
Wow! I love the colors you used. It shines just right!
The light abrasion that you have given it, gives it so much more life than simply hitting it with a few coats of paint. What did you use to seal the whole piece, if I might ask.
Studio quality work, my friend!

That i fantastic mate, great work..... so jealous!!
That is freakin' awesome. I'm new here, and have read a few builds - what was the base build for this helmet? Cardboard? Pep? I dont actually think I've seen what people used to do before this cardboard nu phase thing. hehe.
WoooooooooooooooW. That's so fu*king amazing!
Paint job is... wow exactly like in the movie.
That΄s a fantastic finish!
Two question, please, did you clearcoated it with laque or somethin? And also can you explain a little how to weather it?
Thanks Dude!!!
clonesix, It's not lit 'cos I don't have the LEDs yet. I have ordered and paid for them so I should have them next week sometime.
Arcko, I haven't bothered to seal the paint with anything, just polished it with T-Cut before weathering.
Fawbish, this helmet was Rapid Prototyped from Marvel STL files, cleaned up, moulded, cast in a Polyurethane/aluminium mix.
Zabana, no clearcoat. The weathering is very simple. I used grate polish/iron paste. Apply generously, rub in with a brush. Remove with lighter fuel on a rag...leaving in and around any split lines...and using an upward motion on the faceplate (creating the 'abrasions'). The grate polish dries quickly...you can buff this too, creating a deeper, shinier colour.
Breathtaking Vos, Very cool likeness on this, as a potential suckface lid owner the paint instructions will come in very useful, thanks for posting the colors and methods for obtaining a finish like this, Can i ask if you made the eyes yourself (not the LEDs) or did you get them from another seller?
