Hello all. I've got a couple marvelous fiberglass FPH2 buckets in the works here which I'll be posting status updates.

These helmets are masterfully cast by Wasteland here on the forums. Hit him up if you need to get one of your own.

All of the dry fitting & assembly is complete for these guys with buckets primed and ready to paint!

Sorry for he post lag! I've been covered up in holiday cheer...finally dug my way out.

The back panel green is done...plus a little light airbrushing with concrete.

I'm on a roll this week! I tweaked My POG to White mix to 3:1. I think it turned out nicely.

...aaand we're back. We've got Polly Scale Brunswick Green (black cheeks) , a burgundy mix of MM Insignia Red & MM Dark Blue and finally a mix of MM Insignia Red and #? drops of Black which I eyeballed until it looked dark enough.

Thanks fellas. I've got the kill stripe area finished. I used a basic yellow (tamiya xf-3) oversprayed with an orange (mm international orange) yellow mix. I really have no set formula for this...I spray a little paint onto a test area and play with the yellow and orange mixes till they look good to me. The light green strips are a mix of mm panzer olive green, any acrylic silver and white plus a little thinner.

I don't know what it is but once those kill stripes go on, I really start getting excited!

They just look a lot more intimidating than my original bucket.
