Looks much better.

    … I prefer the top one better, more interesting to look at. I do like what you did with your other helmets though, your great helm looks sick.

          I gave it a base coat of textured paint, used acrylics and different weathering techniques to give it more texture and depth. Added a rust effect as well. The rust color is a little off from how it normally looks.

          Might just be the fact it’s plastic.

          Used the same techniques on this one as my other helmets and projects.

          I like the grimdark aesthetic so that’s normally what I go for.

            I will agree it needs a touch more work tho. Needs a bit more “grime” and dirt. Darken up the low spots a bit more.

              That’s what threw me off at first, the bottom is very nice. I think some grime and darkness in places, maybe even corrosion would give it some life. It looks too “new” you know? Almost like a 3d model. I think if you could make the raised portions more defined (with shadows via airbrushing, doesn’t need to be a physical change) it would make the helmet more defined. If you haven’t seen that one Mythbuster detail models, I highly recommend giving Adam Savage’s YouTube channel a watch!
