Hello guys! It's been a while without creating new helmets, I'm looking to improve my painting techniques first.
I basically apply primer and use automotive spray paint. The result is good, but I want something more professional.
• I don't want something super complex, but I would like to make my helmets more realistic,with a finish that simulates metal, something better than I already have.
Can you help me by indicating techniques and materials?
• Another thing I would like to do is make the viewfinder sturdier and more realistic. I just use a thin plastic (acetate) and insufilm. But have I seen many replicas with visors that appear to be acrylic?
• And finally. I would like to know if anyone knows any tutorial for the the lights? I use a simple, manual led system. But I've seen helmets that have a remote system. Does anyone have a tutorial for this?
Any suggestion for that too Every help is welcome! Thanks.
