P3laton3[501st] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I almost finished to restore my helmet, and I am painting the ears. I filled the rounded square shape with the Humbrol Grey with the Black outline, but I am struggle to find references for the vertical line that should be linked to the rank. Any suggestions?

Locitus[Admin] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 With lack of better references, 1 single black stripe on either the last or second last bump of each ear is a good solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3laton3[501st] Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I saw people paint the line between the bumps and sometimes at different distance from ear to ear from the very end of the square, is it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The original helmets are inconsistent and a bit sloppy in the way the stripes were painted, but I'm pretty confident in that the line was intended to be painted on top of the bump. And so far I've never seen an ANH helmet with more than 1 line per ear, and lines on other than on the last two bumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
