Bolt Builds Commander Bacara + P2 ROTS Grunt

[Bolt_2112]

Some wins and losses this weekend, tis' the story of painting helmets.



The assortment of tapes I use, highly recommend fine line tape. The green is for straight lines and the orange for curves. 



Bacara taped up. I sprayed the cheek plates once.. and decided I didn't like the colour, so I taped it a second time... and again I wasn't happy with the colour...



Hmm nope



Nope still doesn't look right...

So I painted it white again after giving it a good scuff.



Time for a new plan for Bacara... will try again next weekend.
Also painted the grey section of the back of the dome... like 4 times until I was happy.



Ended up going with MTN Wolf Grey as the colour.



I also used this same colour for the stripe, teeth and ears on the P2 Helmet



  

The center tooth kinda went funny when I sprayed it.. so some repair work to do there. I applied the cheek stripes and airbrushed the vocoder and respirators after giving them a scrub with hot soapy water. I sprayed some of the Wolf Grey onto a lid and brushed the center section of the respirators. 



So the P2 is almost done! Just the black band to go, but I've gotta let the grey dry before I can tape it up. Then weathering.

AT-RT helmet is also progressing. Had some issues with paint not sticking... but old helmets can be troublesome.. some of the left ear is giving me grief. Love the green (MTN Hardcore Olive green).



That's all for now!
