So uh... Hi,
For a little summary: I got into Halo in late 2013, Reach being my first Halo with Halo 5 being my first "real" Halo (like playing at launch, that kinda thing), I love the ODST helmet and would love to create my Reach spartan one day, that and to make a real Astromech Droid.
Unlike my astromech though, I actually have the armor thing started as I already have my Helmet. I didn't make the helmet cast or visor, only did the paint job, I bought it off Etsy from LostViking and I really love it. The way the visor connects really helps with wearing glasses.
But I need some help, I painted this helmet before I thought about the idea of making a body to go with it and so I could wear it next month at this little comic-con like thing near my town every year. But anyone who played Reach would see that its not accurate, the maroon is wrong and the silver weathering is way off, barely noticeable. The stripes and their outlines are too dark.
So I ask, it their anyway to remove the paint? It is clear coated and use arcylic hand paint for the stripes, drybrushing and black wash. I basically want to remove all areas that are not black on the helmet, like the round things on the sides or the vent ends. I know removing acrylic is tough, so I though I would ask before doing anything else.
So.. Hello!
EDIT: Woah... I am sorry about the large pic, did not see it being that big.
