Sir Brickalot Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Decided to make a Hawkman minifigure. I began by looking at Equila's headpiece http://brickset.com/parts/6022296 and put it on Nova's head http://brickset.com/parts/6015967 . However, The beak covered up the face too much, so I spent all this morning filing off the beak and centre featherpiece. I really like its look now, do you think I should paint the headpiece gold? C&C Appreciated. Quote
Yzalirk Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I don't know much about heroes and villains but I'd say paint the helmet pearl gold (or a gold tone very similar to the chest piece) so it matches well if the helmet is the same color. Quote
rosalind14 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Looks good but yes, paint it gold!! It'll look awesome! Quote
K-Nut Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Looking good! I agree with making it gold as opposed to white. That Nova head works surprising well too with the gold outlines on the glasses. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks all! To file off the beak, I used scissors and a nail file. I think I will paint it gold due to the feedback. Stay tuned for more! Quote
K-Nut Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) That headgear does also come in gold as well. I'm not sure how easily the printing is to get off around the eyes, however. Hope this helps. Edited July 6, 2014 by K-Nut Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) ^ Thanks for the info. Doesn't matter now though, I don't want to spend money on a headpiece I already have, albeit in a different colour. I can get some metallic gold for less! EDIT: Let me rephrase that: I can get some metallic gold PAINT for less! Edited July 7, 2014 by Sir Brickalot Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 What colour do you think I should paint the wings? grey or silver, or leave them white? Quote

Sir Brickalot Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 I've finally got round to painting the headgear! Expect pics soon. Quote

Sir Brickalot Posted August 17, 2014 Author Posted August 17, 2014 Good ! thanks for the replies guys Quote
bricklearth Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 The color match on your paint is so good. What brand/color did you use? I'm looking to paint some different helmets pearl gold :) Quote
