Protoman Helmet (Progress 5)

Alright! I painted the goddamn mask and tinted and polished the goddamn visor. I've been working my ass off on this thing lately and its good to finally see it come together. Ish.  I think I may rough up the helmet and apply some more clear coat though because it came out a little spotty. The color I achieved is from layering white, then silver, then translucent red, then red orange. It looks red or orange depending on what lighting you have. Whatever. Anyway once I put another few more hours in here I'll get some close up shots of it and hopefully it'll look better.

Ignore my supple naked torso.

It's mirrored about as well as I can do.

These pieces in their thin silver over white coat thing.

ZOMBIE HAND AAAAAHHH

I was going to leave it this color but it dried about twice as dark as it looks in the photo.

This is after all the colors and then red-orange with clear coat on top

The clear coat I got is matte and doesn't go on very smooth...

Pre-polish

Beginning polish, decided to stop and add more clear coat later

You can see here that it didn't come out smooth

I decided to mock the whole thing up with tape again just so I had something to show off...

This one is pretty great..

You can actually see all the layers in this photo finally

Probably the angle most people will see it from.

You can see the speaker holes more than I thought you would, but Jay is a giant and you'd have to be looking down on him to see them.

Different lighting. Also the other ear thing fell off.

By the end of the week I SHOULD be done with all the painting. Should. We're getting so close, don't give up now readers.  You should give up some cash though cause this shit is a lot of work.
Seriously pay me.
