Rogue One Red 12 X-Wing Helmet paint job help!

ywingfighter · Apr 2, 2017

I plan to paint another X-Wing Helmet into Red 12. Its nearly the same design than Zal Dinnes but had 2 white extra stripes and 6 yellow symbols.
I never seen this before but made a drawing about what I see.
If theres errors or what corrections I can made? More eyes see more!
All help are welcomes.

They look pretty good to me but the symbols look a little too skewed in my opinion. I see where you were going with it but I think the symbols just look that way on the helmet due to the curve and camera angle.

Yes, since I have not thought of it. Will rework the drawing. Many thanks

Part of the markings on the (left) is just a scrape through the second symbol.

Rework the drawing...better?

I'm seeing something more like this.

There is something in the back (or it's a scratch) on the pilots right side.
Can't really figure out what's going on with the back left side.

That looks great!

The alphabet being used here is called Domabesh, though the painting of it is pretty sloppy. I can translate the portion that we can see, but it isn't enough to work out what the other symbols would be:

According to Glyn Dillon, the co-costume designer, Gareth Edwards had several new writing systems made for Rogue One. According to my research, they are known as Domabesh, Dishabesh, and Protobesh.

I feel his helmet was painted over for Zal Dinnes helmet. The Yellow stickers were removed and spray painted.

There are at least 2 other pilots with the all red like hers.

I might be a bit late to this party, but I've started to attack this design... And after a few conversations with Cal, from Far Away Creations, we kinda landed on "Joss" and "Book" - because, who knows... Maybe the costumer who slung the paint and decals on this one was a Firefly fan. Haha

Alright, I meant to post this sooner on here, but here's my finished R1 "Red 12" helmet.

Let me know what you think! Thanks everyone.
