Finished! I put a couple of finishing touches on the weathering, added the mic and hit it with a clear coat. Animefan, I'm not sure what to do next. I want to stay OT for this wall and I have room for two more helmets on the bottom row. And think I might be able to put 4 more on a third row. I'm open to suggestions. I know I want a Biker Scout, but other than that I'm not sure. I'd love a Royal guard but I don't know if it would fit, because it's so tall.
The helmet turned out great. If it didn't burn you out, you could always do some other X-Wing pilot. You could do a whole row of them. If not, you could always do its adversary.. a TIE Pilot.
That would be really cool to have the whole Red Team lined up. Maybe once I get most of the major characters done I might branch out into "completing the whole set".
I definitely thought about a TIE helmet. The only thing about that one is that the hoses and chest box are such an integral part of it. Since I'm only doing helmets, I'm not sure how I would do that. In order for it to look right, I'd have to have not only the helmet but the entire chest armor as well.
Yellow base coat. I went a shade lighter because I plan to weather it and do a matte clear coat which will bring it down quite a bit. https://i.imgur.com/Ie8yvcV.jpg
I prefer the darker burgandy and gold to the bright red and yellow versions I've seen. Like this artist proof for the ESB version that EFX did. https://i.imgur.com/TH3LPqo.jpg
I found a red that is pretty close to the color of the decals that came with it so I think this will work nicely. https://i.imgur.com/lu0DQjO.jpg
