Hey Carsten, you are welcome. I love Humbrol paints. Related to the weathering you are right; I used previously that technique , I actually documented it before inthe ROTJ background helmet I built sometime ago;

@ Carsten; no big deal...there is so many pictures so is hard to keep track of the details
Thanks again to all of you guys. I can say it has been a fun project but also took me a long time to achive the final results basically because I never had the time I wanted so most of the time I have been working on and off. Also I moved few months ago from California to New York and New York is not a friendly place were to spray paint helmets...specially in the City
Related to the weathering I used differents pieces of black plastic from the Neck trim and brow(to achieve different strokes and intensity). I also use in a smaller amount charcoal for remark certain features of the helmet. The reason I used this materials are because I think the results are convincing and if you get tired in time they are very easy to remove from any surface.
Cheers

PS if you guys are interested in any other angles in particular I can take more pics if you wish.
