Romell R Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 I purchased two 1/16th scale helmets from charlie over at ProTech and they came in today. heres what I did with one of them...... Heres the helmet fresh out the packaging.... And here it is after about 3 hours of masking and spraying.......oh and I drilled it out too. I also have a visor but I cant put it on untill after I shoot the clear on it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmpsebring Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Clever layout again! That's a very pretty blue. Earlier you wrote Orian Blue....I'm not seeing that anywhere. (or Orion Blue). Is it a HOK color? Google came up with a 50'S CADDY COLOR...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwincustoms Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Jack actually HOK doesn't make an Orion Blue. What ROM used was Orion Silver metallic for a base then laid down Oriental Blue Kandy. Post #1047 says the blue color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragracer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Of course, the helmet came out excellent Rom, must be hard painting something that small (I know it's 1/16th, but still, that detail must be hard to do), like the Dodge Ram decal!

jmpsebring Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I apologize if I stated the wrong color but the paint is Oriental Blue and yes it is HOK. That makes sense. On the front it's over silver met. on the rear it's over white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to share with us how you made the cut so precise? Wasnt hard Bart I just drew a dot on the window the size I needed with a black sharpie, then I used a drill bit in my dremel to punch a starter hole , then all I did was ream the hole out with the drill bit untill all the black ink was gone. Wahla ! instant access hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
