I just picked up this amazing Heavy Mando kit from thorssoli . Instead of the blue color scheme seen in the series, I decided to paint the helmet to match Mando's armor from the first episodes (the idea being, that we'll be trooping a generic mandalorian using this helmet with the ep1/2 Djarin armor):
Almost everything is painted with rattlecan. The metal parts were done with silver spray paint, a gloss coating, layer of graphite powder, then a final overcoat of gloss. I'm really impressed with the realistic metal finish using graphite powder. This is a great way to get a genuine looking metal finish on the SUPER cheap with no special equipment.
Kind regards,
Magnoli
