The right mandible is really detail heavy. I generally break it up into 2 parts when I work on it: the upper horizontal area, and the lower vertical area.
I managed to complete the upper portion, which has the most detail.
I'll work on the remaining vertical portion during the week. It's getting close now!
Yes. . . almost. . . almost.
I've done some of the "effects" work. I finished up the pale contrasting gray that's scattered around the helmet.
Here are some shots of that.
I also did the fade under the killstripes. It's a subtle effect.
I still have some detail work to do on the upper RF ear cap. That'll be next, and then the whole helmet will receive final weathering.
Whew. . . working on 2 lids at once seems to extend the time needed for all the little steps I need to do at the end of the project.
But things are very close now!
Here's a "twins" view of Daniel's screen-used helmet along with Scott Russell's SE lid.
As I'm posting this, the epoxy is drying for the light kit which I've just placed in the RF topper.
I also need to cut and install the visor, and then it'll be all done!
