Weathering 1.2 - R5-D4's Head

This morning I started on weathering R5's head, by applying Burnt Umber around the neck, side recess, eyes, top pie panel grooves and around the base of the Antenna. This is just the start. One good thing I've noticed is that the woods imperfections help when wiping off the paint as it sinks into them giving a 'pitted' surface finish.

These pics were taken right after paint was applied, so its still wet. But looked a lot better once dried. Should look even better once rubbed off a bit and ochre applied.

Antenna location.....

You can see from the DVD that the Antenna is vertical to the body, not angeled to the dome top! Also, you can see a dark area around the base, which might suggest that it's a 'hole', that it fit's in rather than just bolted to the top(?)
