Something a little different. This idea is a "what if" a Mando Merc utilized a Stormtrooper helmet and modified it.

First phase was masking off the pattern (somewhat skull inspired) and adding battle damage. Next will be weathering/distressing and I am thinking of adding an antenna of some sort, ideas welcome for that one.

Added a rangefinder. It is not moveable as this will be a display piece only.

That's pretty cool. It's a neat idea to use the stormtrooper helmet for something other a stormtrooper.

Really nice, I'm liking that paint job so far.  I also like the "outside the box" thinking here.  Smiley

Update. Added massive damage/battle scars and weathering. Also added a few markings (Jaig eyes, Mando script, and kill marks).

It was tough getting weathering done on black paint, but I did my best to make it look like the Stormtrooper plastoid armor poked through the damaged parts. And then I dirtied it up with acrylics, browns and blacks. I used a spattered affect too (first time I used that) to give it more texture. Cheers.

Outstanding job.  I really like how the faceplate looks akin to bone.  Truly fantastic texture.
