I worked on this over the weekend and the eye osl didn't come out quite right because the helmet is light colored. Comments, tips and brutal criticism is welcome.

Drill your barrels!

Try a hard edge in highlight around the eye lense in a near white version of the blue you've used, you've got the diffuse light ok, but you need to emphasise where the light would "collect" ie the sharp angles which would really catch the light

this should help...

Oh Jah, that's a beautiful tutorial. It's amazing the detail some people can get on such a tiny model.

Great tips. Ty
