So i just wanted your opinion on what color would look best for the center area of the wraithknight helm?

Is this a test scheme cause parts seems painted hastily or it is just the quality of the photo . I would say for the inside of the helm go for white

Just getting colors down i like, ive got to blend the greens and start layering the metal. But im wanting to stick with the green and steel look.

You need something to contrast the rest of the job..

Here is a link on a wraithknight I painted with green white and black.

Helm got some blue for popping out.

Nice Look! I like the way, you painted the steel parts.
The color scheme is really cool!
How about an orange tone for the helmet? This would be a nice contrast. Maybe you can add some of this "net structure" like capamaru did on his wraithking.

I relly like the net structure but im not sure how to achieve that effect.

The mesh pattern is really easy to do using an airbrush. Acquire some sort of mesh that needs to be flexible enough so you can blue tac it behind the head. I used mesh like the one seen in the pic.



You have to prime the head in white or maybe orange before setting the net on and then you go over with gradients of the colors of your choice using the lighter tones as you move closer to the center of the head. That means that you can start with black steel and move closer to natural steel

towards the middle.By no means don't remove the net until you are completely done since it is impossible to re-attach the net on the exact same position. That means that if you forget a tone and remove the net you most probably need to strip the helm and start over again. After you are done

you need to paint in white all the areas that where hit by the blue tones and you are done. I am attaching a video that show the procedure on wraithguard.

Thx Capamaru!i had this idea, but never tried it..nice tut
