TE2 ANH Tantive IV

Ok guys this is going to be my first post after my introduction. I just wanted to be a nice one so I am posting the latest helmet I have been working on. Some of you have seen part of the process and eve it took forever I am happy with the final results. FYI everything is hand painted. For the base colors I used spraypaint (for the HDPE color and the white as well); everything else is brush on hand painted . I hope you like it gents and shoot any questionyou want to ask about it.

Cheers

Thats a corker of a job, first rate paintwork & it's definatly got the tantive look

how about a how too?

Wow what a first post!!

Now this is a stunning helmet, something to be proud of. The look is there for sure. It would be great to see the in progress pics.

It's soo glossy and I love the hdpe chips. What White paint did you use if it's brushed on?

That looks just like it was taken straight from the set!!

Thanks a lot guys for you kind coments. I could not be hapier with the final results to be honest.
I have been working for qite a while on this one(on and off) bu I think it was worth the time i put on it.
I have been kind of busy but i will try to add more pics and a more extensive explanation of I I made this helmet, blue stripes weathering etc.

Again thanks for the warm welcome

Cheers

Cheers Mark, I used for the white paint Rustoleum Professional Enamel gloss white. It can be found on amazon; http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-7592838-Professional-Performance-15-Ounce/dp/B00106EDPQ/ref=pd_sim_hi_17

I hope this help. Cheers.

The tube stripes look really good - humbrol #14 was a good choice

Thanks Mark!

This has got to be one of the best i have seen for replicating the origanal on set helmet well done A you truley have a great talent i will be using these pics for when i do a ANH on set helmet i think one of my fav bits you have done is on the Hovi mix tips having one black on the inside and the other white great attention to detail

Feel free to go away as often as you like Armando if this is the type of catching up we can expact from you every time
