Is it me or has the shape of the right ear changed? I have a Marrow_Sun and this area looks different on mine.

Me likie!!!!
I've got 3 words for you:
WOW! WOW! WOW!
It's about time someone mentioned that...
"The answer you seek will reveal itself"..
Wavy brow on the left bucket?
The triangles are no longer crooked …
...YEP!!!....done by me...MOM Accruate.
I tried but still a little off....but more flush...again per MOM..The triangles are no longer crooked …
Still a couple little details left...
Looks great spidey!!!
Cool helmets Spideyfett. Could you please tell me what type of chrome paint you are using? It looks spectacular. Thanks.
Also, what is your typical fee to paint such a bucket?
PM me please, if you don't want to say it in public!
Sincerely,
Carsten Hedegaard
those are some of the shiniest buckets I've ever seen, I too, would like to know what type of paint that is.
Meanwhile, Back at the Mandalorian factory.........
Nice one
Speaking of records...Hey CAL you're up to like A MILLION POSTS!!!!!
The answer lies in my posted threads...
Some other threads made me believe you too were abandoning the layered method. So what's up Spidey! What are your reasons for going with layering -- so we can all learn from your experiences.
Which THREADS???...Some other threads made me believe you too were abandoning the layered method. So what's up Spidey! What are your reasons for going with layering -- so we can all learn from your experiences.
I have always been a proponent of the Layered process...actually the helmet, in my opinion, should not be restricted to one method, as by looking at the high Res Pics you can tell that both methods where used Equally...just for different things and areas on the helmet...
I've have made the statement that I would love to try an all topical method...Only because I have seen some great work here lately done topically. But layered is my "Bread" and butter..
I think Fett Pride said it best..."It's all an illusion"8)
Roger that, only curiosity from my end...those domes are going to be sweet!
Actually I have done 15 of these. Going to do one more for myself and one for Dan after I get number 16 done. I had to take a break I was burnt. I have gathered up all the info I could and I'm going to cast up a helmet or two from the helmet plug and see what I can make from it.

15!!!!!!!!
P.S Great Color list RS.
is right!
15 at once? holy ****. I have a question for you Spidey, or RS. How do you keep the paint from rubbing off where the visor goes up and down?
...I don't understand.."Visor Goes up and Down"???
must mean the RF post... I think?!
Ya rangfinder, there is barely enough room for it to put in a shim or anything, do you just let it tear up?
I used a couple of small O-rings from one of my old Paintball markers on either side. They are really really small...............
Hey Spidey you've added the deep scratches to the mandibles and are those real borden connectors???
:thumbup We are not worthy! :thumbup
Got a little side tracked with one of the Buckets...Long Story....(sorry Eric)...
Needless to say I have continued on with Gary's (pavespawn) Bucket..
Still not finished...TONS more to do..
Here is just a teaser Pic...
BTW Visor is just placed in for show...
Holy **** that looks super sweet!
Another Teaser Pic of Pavespawns Bucket....Little More weathering...
Almost there Gary.
What kind of lighting are you taking these pictures in Spidey? Can't say enough good words on these sweet helmets!
-edit- natural sunlight?
