You have to remove the return edge on the dimple. As for the line up, no problem there, you will not see it with the cover strip. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

My personal choice was very simple, I don't like the small mouth. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Black paint applied and mouth painted. The mouth looks dark, but, it is Humbrol Admiral Grey #5.

Where and how do you pass your elastic? Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

I'll see what it will look like after I start painting it. It will be my first crack at painting a bucket. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Nah, just went with the flow...but, I went to hard with it lol. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

I don't know what you guys think, I'm OK with it for a first time "chipper effect". Will see how the next one will turn out. I've seen so much nicer weathering. Next step will be the details painting! Edit: Sorry for the bad pictures, don't feel like taking out my camera lol.

Nice build you have there. I'm not building a whole armor, just a bucket for display.

I like that bucket. The lines are nice and sharpe! Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Final coat!

Final coat of pain was applied. I will wait 48hours before washing it of. At the same time, letting the toothpaste sit, it will be good for gingivitis lolll Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Ya, I did the toothpaste method, next time I will do latex. I'll see what it will look like when I clean it. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Start with the smallest drill bit and go slowly. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Here is what the bucket looks like with the dried kaki paint. Now time for some weathering prep. The good thing about that method is that my bucket is now protected for tartar and has minty smell! And now, after the first coat of paint.

Looks worst because the ears are not on, but, I made this one kinda low. EDIT: Steve you were right, I did had to raise my brow, it was too low! Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Don't remember who, but, someone did that and it looked great. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk

Here is the first coat of kaki green.

Hello troops, I had this bucket for a while now and I decided to start a WIP topic. I trimmed the bucket 7-8 months ago without taking any pictures. Here are my mark up pictures and yes, the gap on the ears are there on purpose lol. Cleaned everything for the paint Here is the primmer coat. Now it's time to play the waiting game and let it dry!

Hello troopers, I got myself a Scootch bucket a while back and never had the chance to build it, I want to do the "chipper" effect on it. I have read to use some latex or there is the toothpaste method. I'm curious to see how the toothpaste method works. Can anyone help me on that? Thank you, Eric
