Superjedi's GMH for Daniel Logan

[hvacdon]

Really Really Awesomeness !! Best I've Seen !! SE on the left side ?

 

[Jayvee]

Beautiful work as always E! More and more I feel I’m gonna have to do a SE in the future - there is something about all those extra scratches that adds some real grit.

Out of interest, in person, how do you feel with your normal shade of red on the mandibles to the colour that was already pre-painted? They both look great, but looks an interesting comparison

I thought the se was the slightly cleaner one on the right lol took me a sec to catch on there i really would call them twins!, is the gmh considerably smaller than the fph2

 

[hvacdon]

To my understanding, the SE version has a good bit more damage.

 

[superjedi]

Yeah, the SE helmet has a lot of "incidental" damage. Stuff that happened after filming during the helmet's storage and/or transport.
The poor thing has been banged around a lot over the years and there are a lot of additional scratches, chips, and gunk on it that weren't there during shooting of ESB.

Hi Jonny! I think that both reds look really good, I just have a personal preference for the one that I normally use on my commissions.
There's nothing I can really put my finger on. . . it really comes down to what I feel looks "righter."

With great pleasure, I present the completed DLP helmet.

This has been an amazing project, and I'm thrilled to have been a part of it! I hope to be able to attend the event when Daniel receives all of his gear.
Thanks to everyone who followed along, and as always, be Fett!

 

[SharkForge]

That is just a ridiculously wicked piece of work. DL is going to LOVE it! Good work man, as always.

 

[Evan1701]

Wow, this looks amazing. Makes me doubt my decision to do it myself... there's no way mine will look this good! I can only hope Daniel will love it as much as I know we do!

 

[BudaFett]

Damn, Daniel!

 

[hvacdon]

It's a Fantastic Work of Art, Absolutely Beautiful !!! So "E" where did you sign it ???

 

[tennantlim]

Fan-friggin-tastic work Eric! Daniel is going to love it.

 

[Ghostphoenix01]

Wow! Just wow!! Looks amazing! Great work as always.

 

[robotzo]

Absolutely amazing work!

 

[NikTrooper]

Stunning. I've been following these throughout. I'm a bit perplexed by some of the scratches on there, they're not on the RafalFett templates. Do you have a reference shot of them?

 

[superjedi]

Thanks, guys. I'm boxing the helmet up this evening to get shipped out!

NikTrooper, which scratches are you referring to?

 

[NikTrooper]

NikTrooper, which scratches are you referring to?

On the back panels. I was looking at the EFX one as well but it's so simplified they're not there.

 

[superjedi]

Oh OK. Screen shots of those areas aren't the greatest, but there are faint hints of them being there.
There are definitely scratches on the rear of the dome.

With great pleasure, I present the completed DLP helmet.

What do you use to seal the entire helmet? Like what type of clear coat? And is it for only some spots or the entire helmet?

 

[superjedi]

I use Testors dull coat. Well, it used to be sold as "Dullcote," now the can just says lacquer overcoat lusterless (flat).
I give the entire helmet a couple of light/medium coats.
