My first boba fett helmet kit and paint job

[MrGzilla]

hey rpf, i receved this helmet about a week ago, i dont really know who makes it but its awesome. or at least it is to me XD. after preping the helmet for painting i bought some liquid masking tape and started painting! the colors arent perfect matches as i just used whatever spray cans i could find at home depot and a couple of tamia sprays but i think theyr pretty close. anyways the whole painting process took about 3 days and im still kinda tweeking the weathering and shading. i ordered a visor last nite so untill i get that it has a couple of peices of wood glued in to keep it from warping/breaking. i know its not screen accurate but please tell me what you think or any tips on making it better.

heres some pics:

The project, which will take numerous attempts to pull off (i.e. the helmet prototypes alone, nvm all the other toys) is a Steampunk Mandalorian. Since SteamCon is here in Seattle (well Bellevue this year) and October is well enough away I figured it for a go. And since I work in a hardware store, I have access to things like "store tools", and "at-cost-merchandise", so things are easier to play with. I got the files for the 8.5 by 11 inch paper template by "WizardofFlight" on "thedentedhelmet.com" and plan to make numerous template helmets from varied sources, but knowing about a kit wouldn't hurt either

Overall, I think it looks great, especially for your first attempt at this!! IMO it's a little too heavy on the silver/weathered damage in some areas, especially on the forehead. The visor area and back doesn't look too bad but to me it looks like he took a few too many blasts here and there. Just my 2 cents though for what it's worth. Otherwise, I really like it

thanks! i know i went a little overboard on the weathering in places but im fine with it. next time im gonna go for a more accurate paint scheme.
