Finally finished up weathering & making dirty my "Move Along" sandtrooper lid.
Did my best to match up the chipped paint frown, trimmed the eye sockets leaving his sleepy looking left eye & the crack in the in the left tube, heavily trimmed ears & of course his trademark raised brow!

wow!

This guys dropped his helmet on the way to work, and just kicked it along the Mos Eisley road the rest of the way.

Your version looks great though!

Very cool - great work

Nice job!
Is there a good place to go for reference pics of the 'move along' helmet?

Star Wars helmets.com has a few but I like just pausing the dvd!
I've probably gone a little heavy on the weathering on my helmet, if I remember rightly the original helmet was lightly painted on set using a mix of oil & sand.

Sometimes if you under-weather, it'll wash out when photographing under strong lights, so you can make a case for going heavy.

That's fantastic work, maybe you can come work for me when I set up my business(pipe dream at the moment).

Wow, that is awesome!

Interested!
