Bucket before a Sandstorm

Dear brothers, gotta share with you that I just finished my new Bucket upgrade. Wanted to have in some aspects that rough look before I move on in weathering it. Thanks to the coaching and advice of good ´old Quebectrooper my Bucket has finally become true.

Next stop will be trimming and improving various parts of my armor under the great advice given to me by Pandatrooper and Juanito Arvizu, hope I finish the last details this weekend so I can apply for deployment soon.

I salute you all!Posted Image

Looking really good bro!

Great job!

I have a few suggestions, easy fixes actually, and one question...

Maybe you could open up a bit more the fourth whole on the frown. The last one, is a little bit to small. Just cut it open so that there is no white left. I would open it vs painting more gray.

Also, the tears seem to be a bit to squared on the bottom/back angle. If you could make it more round it would look better IMO. Maybe just the grey part. The black might be left like it is.

Finally, it looks for me that you could trim the upper outer corner of your right side angle a bit more to make it more corner-ish.

And the Question, what kind of blue did you use for the tube stripes. It looks a bit dark, but it could be due to lighting and camera effect.

:D

Looking really good already. Looking forward to seeing it finished!!

Hey Juanito thans bro!

What exact part of side of the fourth hole do you suggest?

Suggestions accepted. As for the tears you refer to the back of the bucket right?

And yes it´s due to the light. I printed out an exact color replica of the blue humbrol match.

Shot the pictures in my office at 3 pm with some window shades.

Thanks for the trooper godfather tuition. Jajajajajaja!

Open the hole covering the whole red area.

And, paint the edge round in this shape. Use black to cover over gray...
