Indeed it's the perfect finish at Great.

The fresh tone and the metal tone are very excellent.
The gradation of a surcoat is also very smooth.
Indeed a professional work.

I congratulate completion.

Thanks Christos and Paulo for your kind words.The helmet was finished with a mix of acrlylics from Games workshop&Vallejo. First Gunmetal was applied and while still wet small amounts of Gunmetal blue was dropped in.The gold parts were started with Tin bitz and then Shining & Burnished gold.I then done some shading with various shades of brown and black oil paints, final highlights with gold printers ink.Hope this is of some help Paulo.

Very fine work David

I like the reddish nose tip, well played and the levator labii muscles aside the nose are perfectly sublime.
