I recently was sent a photo that shows the rogue one parts look to be satin clear coated (except the dome), so what do people think of this look? It could possibly go a little more matt I think, but interested in other opinions!

Some beauty shots of the Vader helmet painted with alumaluster from ImperialSurface

Lightly weathered just to give it that Star Wars feel, DM me if you’re interested in picking this one up!

Big pile o’ knives! We’re working on some pieces for a low budget horror movie and they needed a nice slasher weapon. So here we have a mix of steel, rubber, and foam knives that will be used for various scenes. Can you pick out the steel ones? There’s more than one, that’s all I’ll say! Drop a comment with the letters you think correspond to the steel versions from each photo!

The great thing about Djin’s helmet is that you can pretty much pick any level of weathering you like from almost clean to caked in mud, and there’ll be a scene from the show to match.

I’ve wanted to do this for ages, chrome Vader helmet! Painted and then very gently weathered like the Mandalorian helmet. Painted using alumaluster from ImperialSurface

As I was painting I was trying to come up with an in-universe explanation for why this helmet might exist like this, and eventually decided “F*** it, it exists because it’s cool!”

I don’t usually post personal stuff but a slight rejig of the personal collection in the nerd room I thought warranted sharing. Quality over quantity is the watchword when you have a small space like this!

A few things from the workshop this week. Can you spot the Return of the Jedi helmet amongst the Empire Strikes Back versions?

Lot of armour, and a cool custom mando pod racer helmet close to completion.

Fun little side project, doing a custom helmet based around the upcoming game! Got quite a bit more to do for weathering but it’s coming together nicely.
