How are the panels painted on? Did the helmet have to be stripped and then re-painted/with an additional protective coat? If so, how does the final finish of the Charity Special Edition helmet compare to the stock one?
Its like the star wars equivalent of a treasured family patchwork quilt!
You'll have to tell us a ballpark figure of how much it helped charity afterwards haha
I used sand paper to give the surface a rougher texture to work on before anything else. Anywhere there was a panel got sanded. Everywhere else was left alone. I then drafted everything in pencil (3H so it would be nice and light and not smear), then used a combination of oil paint pens and dry water colors to lay down the color, and finally inked with more oil paint pens. After all that, I sprayed it with a protective coating to give the helmet a really nice texture. It's a bit more rigid than the usual super smooth layer that I sanded off, but I really like the feel of it, actually.
And thanks much! haha I'll definitely update with the final price!
Oh, and thank you, sir. : D
