My GH ANH Vader Helmet/ Striking Resemblance?

[cerillo]

Thanks to Darth Phaeton's Referance Library (I highly recommend it) I was to merry up my GH Helmet that I bought from DCarty a few months back and after repainting it myself (Took forever!) I was able to get as close as I could to the above Pic. So what do ya think? C

I would say dull down the gloss and strip away a little of the
silver. :thumbsup

Nah... the gloss is fine... just you put your hands all over it and rub it with your shirt... that'll tone it down a bit. Also... an idea to tone down the silver and make it more worn is to give it a wash of thinned matt black and then wipe it off again before it dries completely - just don't wipe off too early or too late.

Though... I think you need a better picture of your helmet... it's very dark in places and the lighting throws off the shadows and makes it look kinda weird... and knowing how a GH looks... I know it doesn't look like what I'm seeing. Please don't take that the wrong way... but Vader helmets are notoriously difficult to photograph...

That looks great:thumbsup
I know what a pain it is to try and get the angles right to mimic a certain shot, I think you've done a good job. I look forward to seeing more pics.

Cheers,
