Kessel Run[TK] Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 So I decided to take a perfectly good Helmet and beat it all up. I wanted this TK to look like he had seen some action so here's the result, and how I got there. step 1 take perfectly good helmet. Step 2. paint that helmet this awful green color . Step 3. get some liquid latex and scatter it around where you want it. Step 4. paint the helmet white again. enough with the steps you get the idea... after it dries rub off the latex paint detail as normal then weather to your hearts content. ends up looking like this. I personally like it. and now it will take its place on my wall. on to the next project! Quote
Raintrooper Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Awesome! It would be so cool to see a full set of battle-worn armor, a la the Battlefront video games. Other than sandtroopers obviously, is there anything in the CRLs that says a TK cant have battle damage? I guess it wouldn't be ANH, ESB or ROTJ screen accurate. Quote

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 what type of green paint did you use? I want to make this! Quote
Felice Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 In germany it's RAL 7034...for me the best matched green. The color code is #939176 Cheers, Felix Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 In germany it's RAL 7034...for me the best matched green. The color code is #939176 Yup! I got a can of it myself. R2Dan figured out the paint and colour matched it with the RS helmet in person. I've seen the comparison picture with the paint sample next to the helmet. It's an insanely close match.

R2Dan[TK] Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 This was the very first helmet to use this paint for the khaki undercoat, way before I was able to match it to the real deal. It was all eyeballed from the pics available at that time... I was pretty happy to see it's damn close to the real stuff Quote
SW1 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 Yeh not bad for an amateur Dan helped me to get that right HDPE colour for my PVC RS lid respect mate Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
