Painting the tubestripes… NERVE RACKING!!

Hey troopers,

Welcome back.

I’ve not painted the tubestripes onto this beautiful helmet. I’ve gone fully old school, using just masking tape and freehand painting.

As I discuss in the video, I certainly wasn’t overly pleased with the results as I was doing it, however, once I took a step back and came back to the helmet the next day, I realised that they weren’t anywhere near as bad as I first thought.

Here’s some photos of how it’s looking now.












And now for some “arty” shots, including my “replica” helmet mixes in with an ANH screenshot:












And finally, here’s my latest video of the build, including the tubestripes being painted:

Thanks for reading,
Dan

Hi troopers,

I’ve now finished the main painting on this beautiful lid. The last part left was the vertical lines in the rear traps which are now finished.

Here’s a sneak peek, but I’ll do a follow us video soon.

Enjoy your day, troopers.

This short video takes you on a recap tour of the process, through to some glory shots of the completed helmet.

Thanks to everyone that had followed the build. Please enjoy this final video run through.

Many thanks, Paul. With the look I was going for, that’s the highest compliment one could receive. Many thanks.
