Commander Gree Helmet Re-paint (Pic intensive)

[greatgarlando]

I decided to repaint my Commander Gree armor a little more screen accurate. With the way my schedule has been going lately I hope I get it finished in time for Dragon Con.
The Helmet and Shoulder Bells Before

I now give you 3 moths of paint work after two repaints and countless hours of staring at screen caps my new Gree helmet.

Now the Bells

I will continue to update this thread as I finish Hopefully by Dragon Con

Any chance of you making a wiki or some kind of tutorial for us less talented? That would really be awesome!!! I would really like to do one of these.

Either way, it looks totally awesome!! Great job!!!

A tutorial would be great. I've always wondered how you guys get such great paint jobs. Any weathering tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the compliments.

The paint chips and scratches are done by Using toothpaste applied with a tooth brush. Just tap and smear the toothpaste for desired effect. Paint over the tooth paste after the paint drys gently scrub the toothpaste off with the tooth brush under running water. Easy Peazy.
