Nigel Warrack Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hey guys my name is Nigel from Hawaii on the island of Kauai and just finished up my SC helmet after 4 weeks of putting it together and painting. I wanted to go for more of a screen accurate weathered look but my airbrush was giving me a hassle and ended up with a bit more weathering haha. I think it came out pretty good considering my screw ups. Will post the pics up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Warrack Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 So I tried to attach the photos and the size of them was too big I guess. I resized them and that worked but the quality sucks now. Any ideas on uploading pics here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Warrack Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 With going this route with the weathering will I be able to get it 501st approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I would join your local garrison and find out who will be approving your build and find out from them on the weathering... Better to be safe if that is your end goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Warrack Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for the info 01Hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Hawk Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 No problem . Mine isn't weathered but I would like to. I am holding off till I am approved and then will do it. Some people get really picky when it comes to too much/too little. Personally I really like how yours looks but it would suck to go through the trouble of weathering it up and being shot down for it being too dirty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Warrack Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks man I guess I did okay for my first helmet haha. Hopefully it'll be acceptable I'd really like to get everything approved once I'm finished. I'll try and contact the local GML to send them the pics of the helmet and see what they think.

bugdozer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If you see the actual screen used helmets in real life, the weathering isn't very much less than that. I think it looks pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Warrack Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks bugdozer yesterday I actually watched some seens in rotj and saw a few that actually had really heavy weathering on the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Warrack Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's great lexbomb! Building the helmet was fun and couldn't of done it without ever discovering this forum. I've caught the bug and can't wait to start on the armor already but don't quite have the funds for it right now haha. Did you go with SC as well?
