Here's a link for the magnets mate , they are pretty powerful so make sure you keep em away from your nuts :lol
Ojika used these in 10 or 12mm diameter, basically rare earth extra strong babies ,he couldnt remember where he got them but i found this place that does them real cheap-

Get yourself a decent brush if your gonna handpaint it skunky and it still would be worth masking to make life easier , you can get the fineline tape on e bay by the way and its only a few quid for a roll:thumbsup

Cheers mate, but I hardly have anything anymore these days. Just a few select pieces. I don't own a single Star Wars prop anymore, for instance!
I still love props though, just more into making new things, trying to sculpt and create stuff. Not so fussed about actually having the things once I've finished them. I like the process of finding and making stuff much more then the owning.
Anyway, I'm rambling on...back to your Vader helmet!

Hi,
It's been a week or so and I couldn't hold off any longer and just had to get some gun metal on the face...... :eek
I don't know if I got the brush strokes right or not but that can be re done if not...
Here are the latest pix...... :thumbsup What do you think????? :cheers
And the Gun Metal colour I decided to try????

Looking good sskunky, interesting colour choice for the grey, I might have to give it a go. I used Halfords Rover gunmetal on my GH and never felt completely happy with it, a couple of shades too light for my taste. Seeing as I accidentally dinged the paint job recently I may have to give the Mercury a shot when repainting it.

Hey... welcome back VMv2! .)
Is it fixed in place? 'Cause, you need to tilt the dome further back in the rear.
