Thanks KaanE! This helmet was just a practice helmet to test my skills and to see if I'm up to this kind of hobby
The STS tutorial indeed is a gift from heaven! I'm looking forward to seeing your paint job on the Sgt Fang as well!
"Maybe taking some pics in natural light will help with the color? Try shooting it outside."
I'll certainly try it this weekend. Thank you for the tip Rabid Bantha.
