Picture on the left is out of the box. Weathering was okay for mass produced but still very weak in my opinion. The picture on the right is after I dirtied it up with more grime and added physical scratches and steal dry brushing. The helmet looks more used and weathered. It toned the colors down a bit which I am okay with. I will put a some final touches on it and clear coat.

For the price this is a very nice prop. Fits nice too.

Nice job. One of my all time favorite helmets.

Great job, the weathering you did is cool. How long did it take?

About 30 minutes tops. I did three layers and a clear coat. After I clear coated it, some of the metallic scrapes dulled down. So I will probably touch them up slight with fresh paint to make the pop a little. Pretty quick job.

I used Acrylic Black and Brown (watered down) for the grunge/grease/grime, then used some rust colored pastels and metallic silver tester's paints for the scraps. I also physically scratched the surface in some areas to show more actual damage.

Added a few more thicker scratches and a wire attachment to the mic section. Popped in batteries and fully functional with the X-wing engine, Tie-Fighter screetches, and BB-8 chatter sound bites.
