EOD helmet

[Tesla]

Been sitting on this helmet which was pretty rough when I first got it. After some patching of cracks and deep scratches it was on to sanding forever. Sprayed in silver to highlight imperfections then sanded again. Sprayed in flat black. Accent color, markings and new visor coming.

Nice! Where did you get it from?
I love the "paintjob" in the first images - looks like some good battle damage.

It's a thirdhand sale so I don't who made the casts. I bought it more than 5 years ago.

Quick update:
Got the main metallic dark bronze on over the matte black. Letting everything cure/dry for 48 hours between colors as it's been raining here the past few days. Having a hard time deciding on accent colors...

I would go with maybe a pearl white? Rustoleum makes a really cool one with almost an iridescent look to it. Would contrast well with the stoney gray

Silver blue visor? Maybe?

I stay away from blue as much as possible. Nothing personal to the blue team just not my style. It's a gold visor under there now. Silver may be what ends up in it.

Or the Tamiya lacquer ones are fantastic. Tesla how much mud and gunge are you weathering over this paintjob?

I wanna go pretty heavy on the weathering with this one as my ODST helmet is being kept clean.

This appears to be one of @Hyperballistic castings from his old mold that is dead.
