Okay, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just one more day to get the blue-gray weathering on, then some of the post-weathering scratches and filing, including the signature massive scratch on the left mandible, then the visor inserted and this whole build will be completed! hooray!
Yes, it's my first helmet, but it's really the same techniques as the pp2 armor, it's just that the detail is denser. I got busy the last few days and haven't worked on it, but will get back to it tomorrow.
no visor yet but here's a sneak peak of the helmet waiting on the display for the final weathering.
