Ayy, i'm back!
No posts in a while since I had only really been doing more paint tests and template cutting since the last update, boring stuff. During that process though I did end up painting the whole rear section on the dunce helm too, but it was a pain due to the crappy small nozzle detail brush I've been using so far which gave it some really thin spotty layers.

Combined with the rough sanded helm and bubbles holes... it looks a little yucky.
Since then though I finally invested in an airbrush that costs more than 15 dollars and got a Paasche-H. Tons more easy to work with, I really should have just gotten one to start with, it's not like it's even that much more money than the cheapos.
Anywho, with it, and the knowledge I gained working on the dunce,I've finally started working on the proper bucket imma send off to my friend. So far I got it all layered on the back up to the green.

I'm pretty happy with all the under layers, but the final green there came out a little rough textured and splotchy though, and got a little mineral spirits splash on it, whoops. I'll prolly see if I can give it a light steel wooling without lifting the latex mask then give it another coat tommorow. I'm not completely sold on it's color anyway.
