GH? You sure? I've never seen a GH with the top of the face like that? Looks like a modded Portumac...

 

[Darth Kahnt]

I didnt see the pics on the left. Thats not a GH for sure.

I gotta check this out.... looks somewhat like an SS props lid. Can't say for sure.

 

[KevVader]

Definitely not a GH...

The "sonar pit" slots below the eyes look to be different than on the Portumac.

Looks like one of the unfinished casts that Vaderpainter and a few others were offering on ebay awhile ago....

Hi the helmet i have just finished is a Vader painter which i got off ebay a few weeks ago the GH helmet i am
working on is almost ready for the first base coat here is a picture of the mask as of today as you can see i am trying to stay as close to the original as possible but i am thinking of finishing this one in a gloss finish and several coats of lacquer

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Nice touch with the dome tabs. Those are separate pieces right? May I ask where you got them from?

 

[ROBOSTEVE 0671]

Nice paint job on the Vader above, can I ask what processes you used to paint it, was it by Spray gun or from a can and then polished? Nice work :thumbsup

Steve

 

[paulcarson]

I would take the tabs off before painting if I were you...

 

[motionmaster]

Ah thatÂ’s why i screwed them on?? the only reason there fitted is so i can set up the dome connection which will be done before i paint Paul The snap connectors are from original found parts off an apple computer the
spraying is done by me in a spray bay i have access to in work using a spray gun and airbrush for fine detail

[Darth Kahnt]

You're very lucky to have access to that equipment, wish I were so lucky.
