That's looking awesome! Love watching these helmets progress to their final point.

It's looking great. You couldn't share which specific paints you use? I'm trying to find a definitive list but generally people seem to be a bit cagey about it...

Sure thing. Pretty much all acrylics unless specified. Keep in mind that I'm always tweaking and second guessing my previous attempts so these could easily be changed if they don't seem right to you.
MM(model master) Euro Gray: dark gray layers over entire helmet
MM RLM 76 enamel: very light blue/gray areas over entire helmet (enamel works a little better for topical)
MM Chrome Silver enamel: Silver over entire helmet (I use this because it works pretty well topically)
MM Concrete: Back panels
MM RLM 73: Back Panels
MM Panzer Olive Grun/Green & white mix 3:1(ish): Dome & cheek green *
Polly scale PRR Brunswick Green: Upper cheek (basically black...if you're having trouble finding this then just use a flat black)
MM Insignia red & black mix 10:1 (basically 3-4 drops per ml) : Red face, band and key slots - (might get a little brown looking if you use too much black)
MM Insignia red & MM Dark Blue (mix to a dark purple-burgundy): Burgundy layer under the red face and key slots
MM Wood & Sand 1:1: Left ear (you can move this lighter or darker depending on how you mix)
Tamiya XF-7 red: Left ear red
MM Sand: Left ear light color
Tamiya XF-65 & XF-70 & white (1 ml:3-4ish drops xf-70:2-3ish white): Left ear green (there's probably a cleaner mix out there than what I have here lol)
*it always looks to light, but if (at the very end of your paintup) you wipe a black acrylic & soapy water wash plus do a coat of Testors Dullcoat it will darken to where it needs to be.

Helmet was received recently, and I gotta say it's a masterpiece, pictures do not do it justice. Detail and overall paintwork is absolutely amazing, Jay is very good with communication and I highly recommend his work, and good luck to gablesz and his bucket, you are in very good hands with Toeleven
