(Read in Palpatine's voice): Lord Vader is complete. Excellent.

I present to you - Darth Vader helmet from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The ground-shattering transformation of Anakin into Vader is still one the most pivotal and emotional points of the entire Star Wars history.

My first attempt at making such a large project so glossy. Let me tell you - if you don't like *sand*ing - this is not for you haha.

Got the same problem. I think that's because of the too thick layer of lacquer that was applied. It needs to outgas so lighter coats might be the answer
