Just wondering ..........where did you get that mixture? I have seen 78 recommended and I have seen 78 + 79 mixture recommended
The reason I ask is that 76 is a fairly dark green.

Cool. I figured you found it somewhere but I didn't know where to look to see what the results looked like.
upon inspection that is an armor paint up. The armor and helmet are different colors. I would probably not recommend that combo of colors unless it has been shown to match up to the helmet colors........

Is there a ROTJ Body Humbrol colour guide ? looking for CNW Green in humbrol, just realised i ordered all my paints based on the ESB colour scheme (i realise some colours overlap and others not needed)

I was on the humbrol site and says that there is no Green 159, maybe I'm misreading that color. Can you give me a suggestion on a different green to mix with Green 78?
Thanks so much

Pretty sure you're looking for gray 159, I'll double check for you.

Awesome thanks, I could have misread it. I probably shouldn't have started while still half asleep lol.

Okay, double checked, I'm assuming you're talking about the left ear? It's under khaki drab on the Humbrol website. AA1729

It is right side if you are face to face at it. Opposite side of the range finder.

Yep, left if you're wearing it. That's the color though!

You know what the problem is? I was looking at the ESB helmet and we were talking about the ROTJ one lol. Thanks for your help man!

I always talk about ESB... hahaha! I haven't ever done anything concerning ROTJ. You were asking about ESB though... right? Lol.

I was, in fact looking at that one lol. Ok, well here's the thing I'm actually looking to do a ROTJ helmet. So really I derailed all of this. Super sorry about that man.
I I appreciate your help though. I'm pretty sure I'm getting in over my head on this but I really want to give it a shot.
I'd love to see your helmet if you have pictures though!
thanks!

Here is my (first complete) paint up: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f31/animefan-cc-mr-premium-esb-painted-helmet-53338/
My friend wants an ROTJ helmet so I may dabble in that later, I just like ESB a whole lot more. Good luck with your helmet!

Looks great man! I think you may have swayed me back towards ESB. You wouldn't happen to know anyway selling a blank one would you? I contacted Fettpride on Facebook and haven't heard back from him. I figure he gets a ton of messages.
Thanks for all of your help man, your helmet looks great!

Absolutely LOVE this thread! I'm about to embark on painting my ESB Fett and really had no idea where to begin. Major referred me to this thread. I can't say "Thank you" enough!

I did notice that there occasionally seems to be a bit of confusion between the ESB and ROTJ schemes as followers think they are looking at one while they are actually looking at the other by accident. You might want to create two separate threads, one solely for ESB and the other strictly ROTJ. Just a thought.
Oh, I agree with what was said earlier, Jet Pack Templates Please!!!!

One question, Has anyone tried using the Humbrol Metalcote sprays for the exposed metal?
