henselmonster Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Working toward my SWAT build so I'm re-doing my entire bucket. Using an ATA kit I'm making a Stop that Ship trooper, luckily there is tons of reference for this particular trooper. More pics to come as I finish the ears (and ripping out my hair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henselmonster Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Making progress. All I need to do is add the tube stripes. I might raise that brow a little higher too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveMonkey Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looking good, I'm somewhat jealous you have a second bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 A little side by side, my old bucket (Anovos) vs new (ATA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Added "paint drips" using some ABS slurry. Started lightly weathering as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I do wish the Gino and TE2 bumpy cap molds were still around and used. I love both of mine and the look is like what your doing. Lookin good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Looking forward to seeing this come along... I am surprised at how much smaller the ATA bucket is compared to the ANOVOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knocking Anovos but I just wish they provided their full kits with an in assembled bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Also the picture I have above is misleading. They were both sitting on an uneven surface and angled differently. Anovos is for sure bigger, but not that drastically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think I got most of the little drips. There is one I missed on one of the tubes I will add, but I am super happy with how it is turning out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I believe WTF bought Gino's mold. Not 100% but I know his helmets have the bumps and waves. There was a long, worn out discussion over at FISD a few years ago about it. Crazy how much bigger Anovos is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Think I am about done! I might throw this onto the Hurt Locker board to see if it is SWAT ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Very nice, the side by side shots were a nice touch; I will definitely continue to follow this build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henselmonster Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Now, probably most importantly, does it match the rest of the armor? thank god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assembled 3 helmets and they were smoothed up and the eye bump removed as well. back to this helmet, awesome work. Looks great!
