My bucket...finally

looks good but you should whether the gold some where the visor is make it a bit more dirty to sync more with the rest of the bucket

i like the side lights that is a nice touch and cool how you can somewhat light the visor up
 
Sorry for being really slow at responding everybody...

Anyways,

Everybody- Thanks for your kind words!

Andonian- Thanks for all the encouragement!!! Can't wait to see your finished progress!

Royal- I'd put the armour at 94% finished. It should be done before Christmas.

Punhulk- The gold is weathered pretty heavily...I really don't want to dull it overly much...

Thanks again everyone!!!

Love your helmet A'den! I noticed you live in Glendale, AZ. I live in Peoria! Do you think maybe we could get together and work on our armor?;) Lol
 
I really like the adittion of the helmet side lights. I'd thought in adding some ligths to my own helmet. It gives the helmet a nice touch and makes it look similar to a Republic Commando one. Great Work!!!!
 
Thanks Odran!!! I added the lights to give it a little bit of an RC look.

BTW, I just finished the weapon that put the scratches on the helmet. I'll post pics with the rest of my armour (when that's finished)

The visor lighting really sets this one off! That's something I definitely hadn't considered in my current plans. Looks like a revision is due.
 
Ok, its final. I have decided after seeing your LED ear I have to figure a way to do it on mine. And I love the EL lighting. Now we can see where the Commando's got their design wink wink. I hope u don't mind me stealing, borrowing, hostile overtaking your ideas and using them on my bucket!!
Awesome job

:) no problem. It'd be great to see other people using the LEDs on their buckets.

Ahh, yes...back when I was a Cuy'val Dar training commandos...;):lol:
 
Hi all,
Just adding some more pics, especially of the EL installation and interior.

Here is the EL. I installed it about half way under the brow of the helmet, as you can see in the picture.

Sorry about the pictures being so huge!!!
 
Thx for the post A'den, and yes it helps, I just need to go get some more hot glue sticks to put in the EL. What size fan is that 60mm or 40?
(y)
Can you post a pic of your armor, I'd love to see a WIP for your color scheme.

The fan is a 60mm...I got it off one of those generic coolers that come with a CPU...

I'd post pics of my armour, but the pics are trapped on my phone at the moment...and I really don't want to put it all back on just for a photo shoot...so...:rolleyes

If I can get 'em off my phone, I'll post them.

Dude I saw your armor, it is AWESOME. I'm kinda fat, and wont look as good as you in yours, but I hope to get to work on my armor soon, gotta make the shoulder bells, the cod and maybe a back plate, not decided on full cape or just 1 shoulder.

You gotta do a chromakey background so we can put you in the universe bro.
