UPDATE: Nov 22nd

Whew! This was pretty nerve-wracking. . . but the helmet has eyes!!

This took a while to do. I was really careful, double checking measurements and trying not to breathe too hard while painting.
I used Floquil Grimy Black to paint them on using a template found here on TDH a while back. It gave several versions of the eyes, and I picked the one I felt most closely matched the reference pics.

I also began some of the small chips on the upper band of the mandible area. Still using the same gray/silver as on the dome, along with a custom color based on PRR Maroon. I added some BAR Blue and PRR Bruns. Green to give it a deeper tone.

I can't shake the feeling that this helmet is staring at me. . .
