Looks great. Few questions: what bucket are you using? Love the scratches--what method(s) did you use? I've been considering some claw marks, so I'm especially interested in the marks that begin the three long scratches--the start of them, which I'll call punctures for lack of a better term, though I know they don't go all the way through the helmet. I'm also interested in your keyslot area--never been my favorite, so I'm always looking for alternatives. What items did you use there?
I'm looking very forward to where this helmet is going.
