Work22

Update time, I realized late last night that I forgot to buy a riveter, so I woke up bright and early to go grab one and start getting this bucket together. Since I didn't have the rivet gun I started work on the forearms. Got one side completely trimmed, now I've got to do the side without the flat. Spent the morning sculpting away on the ears, It's a little tricky but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Does anybody have any tips for cutting the cover strips in PVC? The material is pretty thick and it doesn't really like to snap very easily. I want to make everything nice and straight and I'm not sure I can do that with scissors.

Thanks man! The fun has already started. Just a quick before bed update. After work I studied a bunch of reference photos and realized I needed to take way more off on the eyes. So I did that, and roughed out the teeth with the exacto knife. My wife is asleep so I don't want to make too much noise so I'm going to finish up with filing the teeth in the morning. I'm really looking forward to spending the day building tomorrow!

Hey everyone. Big brown box day has finally arrived for me! I've got to say it has been a pleasure working with RS Prop Masters. Communication (w/ Andrea specifically) has been great. I let them know I wanted to go with PVC on Monday morning. They shipped my kit by Wednesday morning, and it landed on my doorstep by 6pm Friday night. You really can't beat that turn around time. I'm really excited to get started. Everything was very well organized. I got started on the bucket this morning before I went to work. Not sure how much more I want to take off on the eyes. Thoughts? Also the sides of the face plate and the cap and back already seem pretty well trimmed from RS, but I'm a little unsure about this wonky bit on the side and whether or not I should trim more off. It seems awfully close to the pre-existing hole locations. (even though I may not use those) I look forward to all the pointers you guys can give me. I definitely will continue to scour the forum for more info, I've already got a few great build threads bookmarked! -Andrew
