Repainting The Rubies Vader Help

[tk1608]

Hi All

I'm in the process of modding and repainting the rubies vader lid, and was wondering if anyone knows if there are any good pics of the faceplate masking.

I've done the gunmetal colour, so just need some good clear pics to mask up for the black.
On the pics I have already most of the masking is easy to see, but it's difficult to see if the right eye socket has a black edge or just gunmetal all the way round. Some pics seem to have a black edge at the bottom, and some don't...I just wanna get it right.

Any help would be great

Thanks a lot

Phil

Thanks, yeah That's a great tutorial, I've been useing that for this project.
It's still not that clear from that though, as to if that right eye lower lid is black or gunmetal.

What do you think ?

I have a riddell mini vader and the right eye's lower lid is black, I think I'll go with that, but does anyone know how accurate riddell stuff really is ??

Thanks lots

Both upper and lower eyelids are black, while the nose bridge is gunmetal.
