Thanks Samlynn for bumping this thread.
It had exactly the effect you were expecting.
I'm pretty new here and it sure got my creative juice flowing. So I'll be trying out some of this new inspiration shortly on my own bucket : )
Which is a good thing... my armor design evolved a lot from the design I had in mind when I started drawing it up to now where I started building it... which should be the same with the bucket - I'll try to get that custom "feel", that's all in the armor now, into the helmet.
Thanks again
