I built most of my bucket yesterday. It's shaping up well I think. Though to give it a stong base to work on, I opted to laminate my cardstock sheets to thicker 1mm cardboard. Parts like the dome I left as is because I wanted the flexability when I put it together and the flat areas inside the cheeks/mandables I laminated twice to make them strong.

I've got the whole helmet asembled now, as in the dome and then the rest of the helmet. Though I'm going to redo the dome as I didn't like the way it looked after building it. It didn't turn out as smooth as my RG dome. As a result, I've altered I've re-unfoled the dome to rebuild it the same way I did the RG dome.

Hopefully I'll have that done tonight and attach it to the rest of the helmet just in time for the arrival of my fibreglass and resin tomorrow!!

I've decided what colour my visor will be too. I've opted for a mirrored visor, no colour, just simple chrome!! That should look pretty good with the colour scheme I'm thinking of going for.

[QUOTE="Skupilkinson, post: 191145, member: 1718"] I built most of my bucket yesterday. It's shaping up well I think. Though to give it a stong base to work on, I opted to laminate my cardstock sheets to thicker 1mm cardboard. Parts like the dome I left as is because I wanted the flexability when I put it together and the flat areas inside the cheeks/mandables I laminated twice to make them strong. I've got the whole helmet asembled now, as in the dome and then the rest of the helmet. Though I'm going to redo the dome as I didn't like the way it looked after building it. It didn't turn out as smooth as my RG dome. As a result, I've altered I've re-unfoled the dome to rebuild it the same way I did the RG dome. Hopefully I'll have that done tonight and attach it to the rest of the helmet just in time for the arrival of my fibreglass and resin tomorrow!! I've decided what colour my visor will be too. I've opted for a mirrored visor, no colour, just simple chrome!! That should look pretty good with the colour scheme I'm thinking of going for. ;) [/QUOTE]
