Just remember this. Sand until you turn blue! You will be done sanding when you pass out.
Nice progress on the bucket!
I am making mine out of 5 gallon paint buckets purchased from Lowe's. I was wondering when is best to apply the mask, before or after constructing the cheeks? In these posts, it looks like the cheeks are constructed using the inner layer before the mask is applied, but I have seen other scratch-builds apply the mask first, then cut out the cheek areas and glue in the cheeks.
Also is it best to construct the dome and bondo it before applying the mask? It seems that is the best way to maintain the lip around the dome.
Any pictures?
Are the filled areas just popping off leaving the original helmet holes? If so, I noticed you are using duct tape. Bondo does not stick too well to duct tape. You could have just used pieces of sign material, like less than 1 mm thick, and glued it on, and filled it.
