Painting the tubestripesā€¦ NERVE RACKING!!

Hey troopers,

Welcome back.

Iā€™ve not painted the tubestripes onto this beautiful helmet. Iā€™ve gone fully old school, using just masking tape and freehand painting.

As I discuss in the video, I certainly wasnā€™t overly pleased with the results as I was doing it, however, once I took a step back and came back to the helmet the next day, I realised that they werenā€™t anywhere near as bad as I first thought.

Hereā€™s some photos of how itā€™s looking now.

And now for some ā€œartyā€ shots, including my ā€œreplicaā€ helmet mixes in with an ANH screenshot:

Hi troopers,

Iā€™ve now finished the main painting on this beautiful lid. The last part left was the vertical lines in the rear traps which are now finished.

Hereā€™s a sneak peek, but Iā€™ll do a follow us video soon.
