One last, 11th hour update...
The damage detailing on the upper right visor has been corrected.
It had been bothering me ever since putting this all together, in that I made an original mistake in applying the physical damage in the wrong place, and painted to THAT, rather than just put it on the right place on the helmet.
It just never looked or felt right.
I hesitated for a long time, not wanting to get myself into a possibly cascading series of events that I have to cover one correction with another, and another, etc.
But I sucked it up, took a breath....
It was surprisingly easily corrected by a quick tape up, spray over with Claret Red, misted with flat Brown ( like before ), then painted the detail by hand again, but now in the correct location, quick satin clear shot, then 1000g sand paper lightly over the area to smooth out, and it is no longer rubbing my subconscious the wrong way. It feels right now.
Everything else , truthfully, is as good as this helm is going to be now.
No turning back.
Thanks for putting up with my million posts of every micronic detail. : )
