Does anybody know of a metallic silver blank similar to the color of the helmet below? I was thinking maybe a a couple of the M3 blanks sold on exotic might match...the Solid Gunsmoke or the Solid Galactic Silver. Does anybody know if one of these might work? Is there a non M3 blank that would look similar?

Not sure if you cast your own blanks.
If so, using aluminum powder will get you gosh darn close. I casted a couple last week and they look very close.
 
The metallic blanks are a commercial polyresin. I have no idea how they achieve the effect, but it is pretty convincing.

As resins go, I would rate it "intermediate". Not as easy as well-made homebrew PR or alumilite, but no where near as difficult as Acrylester. If your skew-turning technique is good, you will have no problems.
 
Thank you all for your responses...you've given me a couple things to think about. I was afraid the M3 blanks might be a difficult turn.
