My bucket...finally

Hi everybody,

I just finished my helmet today and wanted to see what ya'll thought about it. I tried to do everything right, but if you notice anything out of place, missing, or just plain wrong, just say so, and I'll see what I can do about it!

This is my first bucket build, and I used Alan's WOF templates (thank you SO much for those, Alan!!!(y)). It's made out of fiberglass with a little bit of sintra here and there.

Here are the pictures

Now all I have to do is finish my armour...:)
 
Love the colors! Seriously, i wanted to do gold and black but now I can't. =( The scratches crack me up...they look good, don't get me wrong, but I want to know the story behind that fight. Was is a kitten? Girl-Mando had enough of your drunk self at the bar? Com'on, lemme know.
 
looks like a horrible dish washing accident, a fork slipped out of his soapy hands. Wow is he lucky he was wearing his helmet... Just kidding ;-)
 
I was thinking of blinking LED's in my key holes anyone think that'd be ok or overkill? I wanna go Black and dark purple for colors scheme so the LED's would be UV.
Or Red and Blue.
 
Thanks everybody for the great response!!!

I'm still working on getting pictures of the lit up EL wire and LEDs, so I'll see what I can do.

If you keep looking for another post from me, you'll all see what the scratches are from; I'm working on the weapon right now! And yes, I'll think up a story for it! I do love the idea of a dishwashing accident...sounds like something I would do... ;)

Also, Adonian, the bottom LED on my bucket is a UV, and probably would go better with the blue than the purple you mentioned...I'll try and get some pics on here ASAP.

hhhhmmm starting to re think the scratches I want to do on my bucket.... I am thinking of doing three scratches like claw marks a bit deeper than you did in my bucket.

THX 4 the update, and thanks for the look at my bucket, I REALLLLLLY like your color scheme, I only hope mine looks half as good as you, baby your the best (OOPS the spy who loved me just poped into my sick twisted mind) must be the fumes from workin on my bucket:wacko
 
OH YEAH! That looks great, I'm gonna use red EL on my visor, and hopefully superbright LED lights like yours if you don't mind. I should have my right ear cap on mine tomorrow, but I dont know if I wanna do a standard RF, maybe something custom. Lemme know on mine. (by the way, I linked from my bucket to yours to show it off, I really like it)
