I've been doing a lot of learning on this paintjob; its the first one I really tried to use the right techniques and shapes.

Helmet is a FPMR. Big thanks to RafalFett for his stencils!

The borden and ear detail are photoshop stand-ins but not for much longer I hope.

More pictures to come as I add additional details and weathering.
 
Thanks!
This thing is a real trick to photograph and I am not very good at it!

Here are some more shots showing:
the other side (with flash)
a closeup showing some weathering (still more weathering to come!)
and a three quarters showing the wavy brow I built in.

That helmet looks dead on! You nailed all the colors and the scratches and I can't wait to see it finished!

And by the way, thanks for the kind words (regarding my stencils)!
 
Thanks guys.
I learned quite a lot through painting this. Next time I will try to correct a few problems. Practice is everything!
