So I have an AF mask and I need to paint it to get rid of that hideous unremitting black. I have thought about crusader helms & 14th cen helms (especially that narrow faced Italian klappavisor), and Russian face helms (and inspiration from GUi Avec Cheval's Helms Album) and so on but I haven't yet found one that jumps out at me and screams "PICK ME!!" So any help would be keen. I am not greatly skilled a painter but still some inspiration would be nice.
Thanks all.
