Should be working now SAZ. sorry bout that.

I cant wait to see it done! Love all the custom changes!!

put the cheeks in today. have you ever noticed that these buckets always look pretty much the same at the beginning.







-Jason

Haha so true! Coming alonge great bro

okay was thinking about doing something like this on the cheeks similar to the clones what you all think? Yes / No?







-Jason

definate yes! Thats so cool

Okay fiddled around a little today thinking about a re-breather system built into the bucket.









-Jason

Thats looking good so far! How were you thinking of making it a rebreather? I think it would be cool to put some vents in the end of the rebreather part pointing out past your ears. Keep it up

hey man looks great
what are ya making it out of?

Was going to run some hoses out of those to the back of the bucket, right now it's just made of card-stock. once i get the basic design of it finished i will be coating it with resin.

-Jason

I cant wait to see this bro! great work

You like that Levi?

Of course! wish i had your talent bro

Okay changed the re-breather a bit today took them in a bit and made them contour to the bucket more. Also made the antenna box on the back of the bucket. It's coming along











-Jason

A'den

Scuba Mando, I like that A'den that would be cool. going to have to put a collar on it then like the clones. Thanks Ner Vod!

Been thinking about what A'den said about a SCUBA Mando trying to come up with an idea about how the bucket would look. Doing some more playing around with it right now here are some more pics.







-Jason

NICE!! I'd make one of those greebles on the back a air ventish thing, maybe the top one

and the tubes are gonna make it look insanely awesome!

Started to coat it with resin to stiffen it up a bit and seal the seams.









-Jason

awesome!!

veryyyyyyyyyyy awesome

Thanks Vod

Dood thats like intense Vod, keep it up EVA MANDO!

Thanks vod going to finally make the dome this weekend.

Gooooooo-ooood JAson Niiiiii-iiice jason (Pats head)

okay going to go get sponge brushes today to finish the resin coats also going to fiber glass the inside and make the dome. hopefully will be sanding tomorrow. if i keep on track this maybe done by the end of next weekend. keep your fingers crossed.

-Jason

I'll send you a PM.

Yeah, if you can give me a rough price, that'd be great!

dude you know I'm in haha pm me with a price vod.... And then I gotta figure out how to send you the cash. No worries I'll figure it out

Btw very impressive! Good thing I got on my iPod otherwise you might have gotten away on me rofl

Oh and, where did that third mando bucket come from??!?! I don't remember you havin a third

What blueprints you using? Are they free or did you have to pay for them? I'd like to try to make a snow trooper.

I found them on the web i'll look for them again vod.

hey will you pm me a price?

Snow trooper update. i should just start a thread for this one lol. Okay about to mold the face plate the resin is setting up right now?



-Jason

okay did a slush on the inside and started sanding the dome down hopefully this will be done by Sunday.





-Jason

Heck yes! Im in!!!!

he he I'm thinkin' airborne mando for this buy'ce

That is so awesome...

YEAH! There's some custom spirit! Great bucket.

Thanks Vode, okay plan is to have the prototype primed if not painted by sunday. have 1 in the glass stage and 2 more waiting to be glassed. so that's "Kal, A'den, & Adonian". Alpha's and Saz's will be started here shortly thats a total of five. I'll make 5 more for a grad total of 10. Glad to hear how you all like it so far just wait till it's finished.

-Jason

Happy Thanksgiving Ner Vode.

yeah happy thanksgiving to everyone! Hey Jas'ika did u have any problems with the oversized rebreathers? Wait til I upload my sketch of the armor mods I'll use when I wear this buy'ce... it's pretty ori'kandosii I think! lol

Happy Turkey day Guys and Gals.

I gotta get the kids ready to head to my parents house for 2000+ calories, then to the in-laws for the same

Be safe everyone.

Haven't put them on yours yet vod send me a rough sketch to give me an approximate size.

well I was lookin' at it and I thought ya know it looks like a scuba bucket... how can I make it look like a para bucket... I think maybe just widening the rebreathers a bit to make 'em look like they're made to filter and compress thin air. I think just makin' 'em 1.5x to 2x the width (bottom to top) and keeping them the same length/depth would work just fine for me. I will try to sketch it up for you tho since u guys seem to be so amused by my sketches lol

Sorry for the double post but here ya go ner vod. Just my concept of how my helmet will look. I know I didn't get the shape right on the rebreather but as you can see, I'm thinkin' about 1.5-2x the width for the rebreathers and otherwise the same. I CAN and WILL happily work with the standard tho if it's easier on u that way. Don't want to be a bother.

Brail, I got mine at wal mart look in the automotive section should be around 12 bucks you also need to pick up some resin cloth which is about 4 dollars
