So this is a hard one to post in ways.....
I've known Will since I joined the Legion, over 9 years now. I collaborated with him on much of the ESB Armor/Gauntlets that he produced.... meaning I nagged him when it didn't look right....
One of his goals was to have a complete ESB suit on a mannequin. When I saw the helmet, it was pretty rough, and didn't have the proper ESB damage. He asked me to repaint it for him. The helmet is an MS1 sculpt, the first one I've worked on.
I had a number of things to correct:
- Fill the ROTJ damage around the dent
- Add the ESB brow wave (3 attempts before I was satisifed with it)
- Add the ESB physical damage
- Capture the killstripe overspray (that's due to JbDubz and I discussing). I did not add the grease stains, as we couldn't see evidence of those during production
- Will didn't give me the RF Stalk and Topper, as I was due to deliver this to him this weekend. I gutted my helmet and gave him mine.
- Do the misting around the dent, it doesn't strictly follow the scratch
- Recreated the cheek bulge on the helmet. Something I wouldn't do except for his helmet and my own.....
- Add the crack present on the right cheek....
- Add a smoke visor
My big regret is that Will didn't make it to see this completed, he saw pictures of it the week he passed.....
