I did a bit more fine tuning on Gort today. Nothing major but small improvements.
I sanded the highs with 320 and brought out a bit of the under color, white, in doing so.
I also added the recess, which I originally had, to Gort's top. You can see the two character lines in the photo. Makes the helmet look a bit more real, besides, the the photo of the helmet I like above has these character lines.
Interesting, the helmet looks more like Gort from the back.
A coincidence or have I already done this in a different demension? (Twilight Zone, music.)
That yellow helmet above. Hard to tell if the orange color is shadowed yellow or a gradient?
I do like the look so I may airbrush a yellow and orange gradient onto the helmet. With black accents and small decals, if I can find the right decals, the results should be a good looking Gort.
Gort will be the only focal point under the canopy.
I added a quick dusting of Krylon satin white to cover the black. White mode is a good beginning.
The yellow will go over the white quite easily with hardly any paint build up.
