Helmet Progress Pt . 1

My previous bucket was painted using a layered method and spray paint I wasn't so happy with the quality and control I had with that method so this time around I decided to go with an Airbrush for the base colors and topical damage using rafal's stencils


1. Laying down the base color

2. Workin on the iconic Cat Scratch

3. Laying down the caboose

4. Vinyl Killstripes might end up taking it off and airbrushing it instead wasn't too happy with the accuracy of the decal

Armor Progress pt.1
Decided to go with Wastedfett's AE ESB Armor since I'm a smaller individual I wanted something that would look proportionate to my height

*side note , Wastedfetts armor is super awesome and high quality I would definitely recommend him for your fett needs!

1. laying down the base color
I ended up doing a rattle can paint job for the base green and will be doing a topical paint job for the damage and details then go over it later on with an airbrush to give it darker tones. What do you guys think of this base color ? I used spruce green by rustoleum

2. Applying silver damage

3. Applying yellow damage , I used model
Master yellow zinc chroma for this .

And here's a quick test fit cause why not
( I used rare earth magnets to attach the armor to the vest , works great )
