OK I have weathered a ANH helmet (was a self build from Scotland). Because there were some mayor visual problems with the helmet, it was the best to change this bucket into a good weathered helmet.
I got into the zone when I was busy, and I repaired also all the little mistakes.
Yep there is a blastmark which hit this helmet at this side.
and the best photo is the following
To be sure that the weathering would look real-life. I used sandpaper, heatguns and everything which would partly wheather this helmet.
Airbrushing
* I used to colour the helmet in 3 white and white-yellow colours.
* Sandcolour to make the first colouring of the marks
* real sand and dry and superheated ground to make the 3D marks of weathering.
The photo's have to be 3 shades darker, but I haven't got a perfect camera.
But this ANH helmet was from an old senior in battles with the Rebels and mercians.
I think and hope that this helmet has got enough requirements to become a good TD.
