Freshly finished Darth Vader helmet from Rebels....looks like i forgot to wipe off all the polish...DOH! I ground out the nose, which was flat and had lines incised in it, and i resculpted it to be more concave like in the show. :)

That is awesome!

Can you give a quick breakdown of how you did it?

I'm trying to figure out how to get an even amount of paint inside and outside of the helmet when all i have to work with is my garage :)
 
Looks great!

When I saw the listing for the kit, I didn't understand why the nose was not carved out like you have it.

Hi, i know how you feel....i mostly sprayed this in the back yard...

I just used rattle cans....went for nice wet coats as best as i could judge.
Then the same with clear coats, when this was cured, i used Meguires Ultimate compound and microfiber cloths to polish it.
