Wow, that looks awesome! I hope to soon join the good ol' bucket scratchbuilders club.
If you don't mind telling, where in Home Depot did you find this bucket? And if they come in different sizes, which one did you get? How many buckets did it take? Sorry about all the questions, I'm just in awe by this helmet so far.
Also, I really like the way you're doing the cheek parts. Those looked like the trickiest part of the helmet, and what you're doing looks like it's working well.
And if your not busy could you shoot me a PM on that RF? It looks great!
