Thanks Stephen, i got that detail from the following capture...also very tempted to twisted the right hovi like in the pic Cheers A

And here are coming the pics previous to spray paint and the weathering pass as I promised. I still prefer the scratched version but like eveything in life is up to taste Cheers A

Thank you ver y much Sir! Iam glad you also liked the photos Thanks for your kind feedback Thank you! I really appreciate it. The black scratches are very easy to achieve to be honest. And also easy to remove if you gt tired of them. I mainly use black rubber from the neck trim and brow( withdifferent profile cuts for different effects) and a very sharp charcoal pencil. I started with a broad stroke and little bu little I detail the areas I consider more prominent and expose to damage. I hope this help Is a TE2 helmet,Classic Cap and back but not the original faceplate neither the ears. Thanks Joey Thanks a lot for your kind words Noey. Really appreciate it. Thaks buddy, it means a lot coming from you As kind as ever. Thanks to everyone for the warm wellcome to my last lid and your very kind words. I will be happy to answer more questions related to the build if you are interested. I also may add more pics of the helmet previous to the weathering pass and other detail pictures(close ups, etc...) Cheers A

Cheers Sthephen.I am very glad you liked it, I also enjoyed also all you pieces in your collection! Thank you John Thanks a lot Mark, it took me some time to loose my fears and brave and go one step forward with the wethering in order to get the "Tantive look" Can not wait to put my hands ina CFO lid

Sorry guys for taking me ages to answer my own thread I have been attending some personal issues that rquired my fully attention but now I am back. Cheers! I took me some time to get 100% happy with the pics. Thanks a lot I am glad you liked it. Thank you Paul, nice to hear that coming from you pal Cheers pal! I love you helmet too, and thanks for your kind words. My CAP ESB has scratches has well but I might go back and acentuate some of them to make the scratches as noticiable as this one.

Hi Guys I have been working for quite some time on this helmet(on and off). After so many interruptions I have reached a point where I am quite happy with the results. I tried to resemble a tantive IV helmet the best way I could. It may look a little bit beat up but the tantive IV scenes were the latets one shot on the original star wars movie so the condition of the gear was not the ideal In adition I would like to remark that all de details are hand painted and there is no decals of any kind. I also borrowed some details from my Tantive IV references like the two styles of hovi mix that apear in one of the shots when leia is surronded by a group of stormtroopers while she is acused of treason by Vader. I hope you enjoy the pics Cheers A

Very nice Steve, it looks awesome, one of the best ROTJ helmets out there for sure Cheers A

top class armor and an amazing job putting it together!! Congrats A

Looking great so far...more pics!! Cheers A
