Lol, well when I do my y-wing helmet, I am not going to do the standard helmet.
I know there are people who can make something look EXACTLY like it did in the film, but since my favorite color is blue I just want to see a weathered blue enduced y wing helmet. I am thinking gray with blue accents and desaturated yellow pinstripes and such.
I know there was a blue squadron in the books, so I'm sure someone can tell me there could be such.

Yeah I'm assuming that they just had some helmets out and let the actors pick them, or just gave them out haphazardly.
I remember in the behind the scenes of ep. 1 that they were letting the actors pick their lightsabers.

So after a few mess ups, I had to start from scratch.
Bleh...
But I spent last night and tonight (then realizing it was 5 am) doing this all over.
For my first helmet I am fairly happy. There are things I am still learning with the airbrush, like diluting paints and such. This whole thing was cut by hand, except the circle and rebel emblem.
When I get my y-wing helmet, I will have a better understanding of what I need to do.
I will still dab this with a couple of other things tomorrow. But I am hoping that come monday he will be happy.

Re: X-Wing/Y-Wing Star Wars Hockey Helmet - Status: Done?
The chrome facemask has pitted and browned a bit.
I have based it with silver and was going to do clear yellow over it, does anyone have another cool suggestion before I start?

Been a whole minute since I posted on this. For my first Helmet this wasn't a total catastrophe.
But I have an understanding of "layers" now. I think I am going to stick with acrylics.
I got my Y-wing Helmet and I will begin assembly this weekend and probably just keep it in this thread.
Anyway I am waiting for him to finish putting in the padding and such, then those will be the final photos.
