Just started on a battle damaged version

You plan on doing a run on the battle version one?

Yeap, these are available as well as the undamaged version

Just finished the visor, on to the paints.

Here's the finished pics of the damaged version.

Awesome!! You will do the faceplate with the eye? I think the most striking part of that helmet damage is being able to see Murphy's eye.

Thanks! This one wont have the eye as it was just a commission for the top part, but I would like to make a complete head with the eye at some point.

I got one of the older Mutronics helmets from Zorg in the JY a while back (pretty flawless, as usual)
Black gloss on the chin and neck. The chin got wet sanded, buffed and polished. The dome was metallic silver titanium engine paint with a ton of gloss lacquer over it. I didnt wet sand as it was so glossy to begin with. Why open the door for Mr Cock up if you don't have to?

Yours has a more Robocop 1 paint scheme, right?

Depends. Both 1 and 2 paint schemes have the purple/flip highlights. I left that out, I dom't really like it in a display prop. It works well on a costume but for a static, its like painting in a reflection. Just my preference.
In terms of colour, R2 is much bluer than R1. This paint largely depends on the light its in.

In real life it is a lot more blue than photos pick up. So I don't really know what scheme it is

These are amazing! Would you ever consider, or have you already posted a painting tutorial video for us noobs out here? I'd love to give this a try as a project at home, but would you love to see your step by step progression. Thanks!

I agree, would love a paint write up.
I bought a unpainted one to paint once I have mastered the art, it was more of final exam for me.
