firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Ok so with the excellant ESB sticker run from chazz and mike i wanted to do something with my AP lid as as it sat next to my painted TE and TE2 it was looking greyer than John Major. Something had to be done.. So i peeled off the old stickers and removed the lense and rubber trim and hovis and it was out with the humbrol. Im so impressed by the way this paint makes a helmet look real and used and i wanted all my lids to match too. I also reshaped the sty in the right eye, its still there but alot less pronounced than it used to be. I know for esb they were all but gone but i like the look. I also cut out the teeth some more, just so they were a little larger. After 3 coats of sloppy paint i added the hand details last night and today put on the stickers and rebuilt the rest up.

mods1965 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Mark, A fantastic helmet and great collection. ROTJ one next? ESB is my favourite one out the three OT. What paint did you use and where did you get it from? I have a HDPE TE and want to turn it into a ESB. Does any one also know where to get the rubber trim for the underside edge? I need some of that as well. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi David i use humbrol paint #22 and like the result. With the trim you need to get it from seals direct, US52 for the brow and SWR150 for the neck, although the neck trim is a rounder profile nowadays the original was more square i believe..

darklordtripple9 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Did you spray the lid in white paint or is it the original abs color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Did you spray the lid in white paint or is it the original abs color? Hi i have hand painted this with a brush using enamal paint, as it was looking rather grey next to my other helmets. I think it made a vast improvement to the overall look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
