can you show me a side views of the frown please?

and the best way is to loosen the ears bolts so you can have a little play (the rubber not soo tight against the face)'

remove the rubber brow and use the Hobby scissors to trim the plastic helmet brow back a wee bit.

Look at these screen used ANH Stunt helmets for a basic brow height :

The frown could be w wee bit more pointy, but falls in the parameters.

I would use this for a start.

I would not use the CA glue but either E6000 or Amazing Goop

CA glue holds fast but is not water/moisture proof and will not hold after a point....

Video on the basics

the brow height looks good now.

the flat head ear bolts need the white paint.

I have seen the front and both left and right sides, hows the back look? :)

Yeah any white enamel paint (with a sheen)

best to use a white primer first (make the enamel hold better)

I normally just take the era bolts off and primer them with krylon white primer spray paint (let dry) that add them back on ears then use a gloss white enamel model with a brush after getting them tighten down...

The back looks good, but the bottom inside corners of the decals look to be pulling a way etc.. (the way the lighting hitting them)
