Any one know the right base colour for the Anubis helmet? I remember an old post that said they were plated but I don't know what the right colour was. It could be brass, copper or gold but with the weathering I cant be sure.

There are greens and purples in the weathering, so I'm shooting at copper.
Copper would be my best guess as well
Probably an antique bronze, I've seen one done with rustoleum hammered brown that looked perfect.
The base color is gold (brass worsk good too). I did a scale model of Anubis and tried coper and bronze but gold worked best with the black and turquoise wash. The collar uses a copper base color with the same wash.
....sigh...
that's my next project.
Just a note that's not the movie helmet in case you weren't aware, it's from SG1. The movie helmet is considerably different - blue eyes, less weathered, etc.
Frank! Awesome...is that still on, and from your friend's original? SAY YES!!! You know I am good for two of them.
I need to finish this one first, it's the SECOND one.
I'm almost done, then the movie one gets restore behind it. That's MY baby.
Yes I realised that pic was the SG1 version. I will probably go with this one because of the great reference shots, although I do like the blue eyes on the movie version. After looking at lots of photos I think I will try brass as the base.Nwerke said:
