Painting klickie chainmail helmet

[tahra]

There are darker and ligher metal chainmain hairpieces... (same as swords, armor,  and such)

PlaymoDB gives the part number 30 21 8002 for chainmail hairpiece in black. It's found on four klickies in three sets: 4865 (Lion Knights Castle), 4866 (Falcon Knights Castle) and 4869 (Lion Knight's Battering Ram). All three are still on sale so its a safe bet the hairpieces will be available from DS. (It may also be on more recently issued klickies which aren't yet listed on PlaymoDB).

I have the castles 4865 and 4866, and I got the chainmailparts that fit on the klickies' heads in these sets in common anthracite (darkmetal /charcoal) colour (like existing armour and weapons, as Tahra explained), so not in black like other klickies' hairpieces or beards...


Though there are black weapons in some of these Falconknight-sets; I have some black swords (so not darkmetal/anthracite bur definetely black). So I won't exclude these sets might come with black chainmail-hair, but in my own case I got the darkmetal chainmail.

I've got both the charcoal colored chainmail.  I think I have a figure with the chainmail piece that is blonde actually, but I've been having trouble remembering which one.  But I think the hair pieces on Cheng's mods are what I'm looking for... whatever those are.

depending on what you want it to represent (real hair?) like some of our PM knght armour, (both Graham & Hadoque are right) there are gun-metal (I follow Tamiya colour charts) versions, with their own part numbers (breast plates, halberds etc), although I dont have these chainmail hair pieces, I think those I saw in photos must be these 'charcoal' versions.
mine are supposed to be black/black lacquer so I sprayed using Tamiya gloss black.

I'm trying to make a klickie that resembles this image.  The chainmail, I think, has a good texture for it, but it should be black.

Yes you are right, Hadoque, the part I referred to is not actually black as the photo below (borrowed from PlaymoDB- sorry Heather!) shows. The difference between the beard (black) and the chainmail head cover (anthracite/charcoal/dark metal) is clear in this picture.
