i thought the ‘face’ on this custom minifig was photoshopped at first, but as it turns out its been beautifully painted –
Jasbrick –
The helmet shape is spot on in my view. The visor was painted on in layers from dark silver, light silver, blue wash, then light blues for the highlights and edging whilst the blue wash was still wet (blends it better).
this basically reaffirms my view that Jasbrick is one of the great custom minifig makers.
Actually there is some digital editing that is going on here – Jason mentioned that in his photo on Flickr.
