Cake - Antique Fireman's Helmet

A few months ago I was asked to re-create a Fireman's helmet.  She didn't want the current helmet you see these days, she wanted an antique.  I searched the internet and found this picture of a vintage helmet with leather shield....










My next obstacle was..."How do I make this!?"  I didn't go to culinary school or to pastry school or taken any cake decorating classes so I was lost in how to begin.  But lucky for me, I am living in the age of technology where literally anything can be learned through searching the "How to's" on the internet.  And guess what!  I found this tutorial http://cakecentral.com/articles/111/how-to-make-a-3d-fire-helmet-cake and voila, here is the final product...




I added the fire cupcakes to give it little more "something, something", it looked so lonely.  So, what do you think?  Did I do a good job at replicating the helmet in the picture?
