It is done!!!
Wow, it looks like I forgot to post quite a few steps
I painted the inside, and like the way it looked, but forgot to take a picture 🙁
I spent quite a bit of time deciding whether it was done or not. Finally decided that it needed more of a textured look. I spent a week thinking and chose a look like it had come from the blacksmith. Impact marks, etc
I spent another week looking around to see how to actually manage the look. I found what I wanted, and found that I was going to have to destroy my nice shiny helmet to do it.
It gives me the texture I wanted, but it takes a very long time to do it.
Now to paint it all again.
Now I just wanted it to have a bit of shine to it. I painted a thin layer of grey/silver over it and I love it!!!
Now to try to get more pieces done by Halloween
