I swapped out FSS Budo’s helmet for the vintage helmet and swapped out his knees and lower legs to make the figure more vintage accurate as well. For this project I custom mixed a green paint for the lower legs so that they matched the factory green of the upper legs. I mixed a custom gray for the knee pads to match the gray of his belt.

The helmet sits a little too high, but other than that it's perfect!

A dremel with a round bur might fix that

Good observation. The helmet looks that way just because it’s tilted back. If it was pushed forward and siting correctly it would fit more appropriately. If you take a look at the second picture, you’ll see it’s sitting more forward and not as high up.

Do you have the silver samurai helmet from that wolverine movie line? I wonder how that would look.

I thought about that too, until I looked more closely at it and realized it has 'battle damage'. I believe one of the horns or something is broken off to simulate battle damage.
