Looks like I got close to this look. I agree. All I did was dry brush some black acrylic paint on top of the milk chocolate brown.

I bought a Black Series Artillery Stormtrooper helmet. I'm going to hold on to the BS Stormtrooper helmet as is. The Artillery helmet comes in two parts which meant I had to disassemble the two halves. In order to get to all the screws, I cut away some of the internal plastic wall on the back half. I also had to cut the top tabs that hold the two halves together. The bottom ones released easily after that. Once the halves were separated, I removed the lenses and the front brow that holds the lenses in place. I'm holding on to both of those for now. One of the rank bars is loose because it is the button for the voice activation in the original helmet. I'll hold on to that and attach it later. I cut and roughly sanded any of the plastic that could be removed in the face section and the back section. I'll eventually do more. Lastly, I sanded the edge of the yellow paint where there was a small ridge. I also sanded the seam under the tears.

I'm prefacing this with "this is my first ever build". I'm new to the community, and after seeing the Commandos in action, I knew this costume was for me! It will be a slow process, as I am simultaneously building this, A Tie Fighter Reserve AND Pilot, as well as Imperial Bridge Crew (can someone PLEASE tell me where the money tree orchard is???), and hopefully will have a TI/IC number soon in the Legion. In the mean time, I sand, sand some more and then sand even more! I dig it...
