Re: M1 helmet painted as Medic
looks good! how do you plan to age it?
I would scuff the helmet and make it look well used and also rub the paint around the edges and give it some wear, then I use sea water in a spray bottle and wet it all down then wrap it up for a few days inside a plastic bag and let it rust and darken the exposed metal surfaces for that aged patina effect.
when the shell has the desired amount of rusting I rinse it with fresh water to neutralize the corrossive effects.

I'm in thinking about what method to choose to age it.my latest addition is the para net.Look better and not too shinny with the net applied.
