Once I had a few added together from the top of the head I applied the same to the bottom using the warp and distort tool then burn/dodge/blend together

Next I use the buttons on the bottom of the machine to make the neck bolt areas while using perspective/distort and warp tools
step 46 of 59
Next I select the neck area and again selecting the entire given source pic from pxleyes I paste into place and move it around till I find some area that looks good for the neck
step 47 of 59
Once I have the neck complete and burn it a bit I use a nice dodge/shadow to make the upper portion of the helmet area and blend more on the bolts etc.
step 48 of 59
Crop out the ticket booth area using perspective to make it a bit more straight

Get rid of the background areas using the pen tool and soft brush around it

Gee, I don't think you put enough steps in it
