As I am painting I tend to try small things to make a more personal statement if it enhances the basic required look we all are trying to achieve.
A couple of cases in point. You might consider trying them.
The first is putting a small touch of Model Master Burnt Metal in the helmet dent. Adding a very subtle bit of color to the silver enhances it I think.
It shows in this photo without being over done.

I mentioned before when talking about Rafal Works stencils how the kill stripe stencil must be done by each person to create even divisions between the stripes because
Rafals reflect a curvature of the helmet in the spacing between the stripes. What I didn't talk about was the way the stencils include (which is helpful) the small bits of paint that
protrude, here and there,outside the main lines of the last seven stripes. These were most likely areas of paint bleed under the original mask. When paint does this excess pigment can
pool making these small spots denser in color than the sprayed areas of the stripes. To replicate this effect just spray your stripes then topically add extra color to make the spots of bleed denser.
It's a very small detail but easy to do. Here's my attempt at it.
