Another Imperial Guard Bucket

Hello all. I've been here a couple of weeks but this is my first thread.

After getting inspiration from t_bone and Skip I decided to have a go for myself, any comments, (good or bad, as long as it's constructive) always appreciated :D

The basic shape is incorrect. The side on looks ok, but front on the shape is too top heavy, it looks almost like a light bulb, they are supposed to have more weight in the shoulders. If you can fix that, you might be onto a winner.

See what I mean?
 
Looks great so far. I FG'd the out side of mine too. Just for that exra little .001mm of room for my big ol noggin.:lol: The only areas on the inside that got FG were the face portion below the eyes (for thickness) and the part the goes over the shoulders (for extra strength). I actually peeled off a fair amount of the original paper model toward the end.
 
Yep, fibreglassing the outside for the same reason as t_bone, big head! :) To be honest, it never occured to me to do the inside
 
How did this go, did you ever finish the pep guard bucket? how does it look, did it turn out accurate?

I wanna start one .

cheers
