Phew....another long paint up. Here is Lukes X Wing Helmet in ANH trench run style. This is a Bradleyfett with mostly screen accurate colors. Weathering is about to begin!
Thanks for looking!

Looks good!

Did you paint the insignia or are they decals?

Great work! I'm finishing up assembling a Bradleyfett helmet - a question: How did you prime it? Regular primer or did you use something else?

Thanks for the kind words all! A few answers:
The rebel symbols are hand painted. The V's and ear pattern are stickers.
I primed with white primer followed by Satin White - regular rattle can paint
I will be weathering with an acrylic wash I make called grime then using the stipple effect and using an airbrush for fine detail.
Nice hat Matt!

Great paint job. (I like how you paint the inside black as well -I do it too. It feels more finished...)
You did a nice job with the colors. Did you find a good list from the RL or did you experiment?
Looking forward to the weathering. But the colors are so good it already looks aged.

Nicely done.
