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.

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.

I would love to see the full costume to compliment your helmet

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.
