Phase 1 Fives Bucket (WIP)

[BobasDent1138]

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share a little project I've been working on the last couple weeks with spare time as I've still been working construction.

A couple years ago I picked up an older, unused KWD phase 1 cast on ebay for a steal and wanted to paint it up ever since. So , I finally have some spare time...

Thats the bucket in some cheapy gloss white Valspar just for its base coat.

Next I went thru a painstaking, repetitive process of trying to stencil out Fives' eel insignia

And yes, it looks awful LOL
So, scratched it and made an adapted stencil with some tweaking once the tape was on the helmet , sprayed in a nice krylon blue and voila! Nearly finished! Some more weathering and red details to add, some tweaks to the back, have to print new ear caps, and thats a wrap after I get my visor cut out!!

Let me know what y'all think! Haven't been in the game In a while, still a bit rusty!!

Thanks for looking!
Stay safe and well!

Thank you!! That means a lot. Always liked Fives. Echos getting a lot of love lately, so I figured I'd remember his brother in arms!

Hoping to finish up with the back and weathering today, ill try to get more pics up!

Thanks! Much appreciated!! Never did a clone wars style bucket so there's a first for everything. Learned a lot with this method of weathering too. Maybe the next one I do won't be so battleworn
