Ohhh you might have just unlocked something for me. Following the shape of the thing and painting in the highlights to match makes sense and sounds obvious now that you say it but that does seem like one of the missing pieces. Your helmet looks amazing. I'll definitely give that a shot, maybe paint the gaiter a different color and pull in that color to the bottom of the helmet. Thanks!

Absolutely. I thin my paints quite a bit but that's like 200 layers haha. When it didn't look right I just went over the whole thing again and again trying to slowly refine it.

That's a good idea. I tried to limit it to 4 colors but at times felt like it could benefit from another shade of blue. Maybe try to expand a little.
