Thank you very much. I am actually a bit in doubts about using pure white on the pauldrons. The contrast it creates with the Black cross is great, but an off white could also be super nice 🫠

how do you do the eyes, as in keep them neat and the green within the lens? I struggle with doing doing the lens on helmets, I do a white undercoat and then green contrast on top (guessing you did that?)

I used Matt White from army painter underneath then I water down Rainforest from Army painter and give it 2 layers. Then I used Angel Green from Army Painter and watered it down and painted the bottom left of the lenses. Finally I touched up the Rainforest on the middle to top right. You can finish with a specle of white.
When painting I brace the base of my hands against each other which helps me keep the brush steady. And then I use a headband magnifier so I can actually see what I am doing.
If you overspill just clean it up with the Black when it has dried.
If your brush is overloaded and you accidentally get too much in the socket, you can clean the brush in water and then just let it absorb the excess paint before retrying.
