what it looked like: tear down and cleaned: primer: First coat of white:

Re: Latest Project: Catchers Mask
2nd coat of white on and brought inside for some nice curing. Paint is smooooooooth like glass.
while the paint cures. I have been doing some designing. He wants a stormtrooper themed helmet. and one that is based upon the Vaders Fist Corps. His school colors are Red and White, so I have changed the stripe on the face. So i did a little drawing to see how things might look.

Re: Latest Project: Catchers Mask
Thanks. He is a badass on the field and a cool kid. It's an honor to do this for him actually. Plus I like doing it.
I have him and his father in a group text showing them the progress. At some point in time I am going to stop sending JP the updates and just send them to his dad. I want him to be totally surprised on the final product.
