Chipper build


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
