So while I'm waiting on my ATA armor to come in (late February/early March) I decided to go ahead and get my bucket. I eventually want to start a build thread but just haven't gotten around to it. Any hoo I'm working on recreating the "stop that ship" bucket. This one:
I've almost finished the "basic" painting on the face though I'm still in the middle of shaping the tube stripes. I know I'm not going to match the screen used one stripe for stripe but have to admit that I'm getting pretty frustrated with it. I started off using Pandatrooper's " hand painted" shaped stencils but this entire paint job I've been plagued with bleed through issues with my taping and stencils so have just bit the bullet and have literally started hand painting everything.
With the fact in mind that the tube stripes are still a work in progress I was wondering if I could get some feedback on what I've done so far (please don't mind the Swiss cheese look on the right side of the helmet, I had some fitting issues that have since been resolved).
Thanks!
