3D printed a replica of the Gjermundbu Viking helmet (from this file by AyathTheLoafer on thingiverse)

Not totally happy with the end product (next go around gotta do a better job on joining the two pieces and try to get a seamless look), and not 100% sure on the paint job yet but we'll see if I come up with anything else before I get the finish and put that on. I'm hoping a satin finish will tone down the reflectiveness somewhat cause it's a bit too shiny for my taste.

The reddish spots aren't a reflection, they're faint "rust" spots. First photo is the recreation of the actual Gjermundbu helmet (what bits remained glued onto a "form"), and the rest follows my replica through the process

And the final product (well final minus the protective coat)
