My first attempt at a Reproduction Afrika Korps helmet

[Aragorn243]

Bought the helmet cheap from Sarco, $40 on sale so can't hurt it in any way. Decided to make it an Afrika Korps helmet. I unfortunately don't yet have the reverse decal for it yet. I may end up just painting over that area and leaving it off. Keeping it open for the option for now.

I didn't put a heavy coat on it, most examples I've seen show original green bleed through. The symbol is hand painted using a hand cut out stencil. Wasn't easy but this was done in one attempt. Paint isn't completely dry yet.

So hit me with your opinions, more paint, different shade, scratches?
