I bought this from MasterEdi a few months ago and finally got around to painting it.

I used this movie still as my main reference

seems to me, the helmet is burnt,melted and covered w ash.

I came up with this paint job. While it isn't exactly like the movie I like it.

I changed r base color to a dark gray, did a black wash, painted a few details, highlighted w white dry brushing then applying some yellow / rust accents and finally finishing w just a few silver highlights. I may need to take pics w different lighting as here it appears much more metallic than in person.
Also I think I will retouch w some dark gray to down play the yellow / rust areas.
