Here are some shots from the sides to show the ear pieces.

Here I have the bucket sitting on my mannequin in the spare room, or as I refer to it, the "Man Cave in Progress". The face plate section and cap/back sections were riveted together with snap rivets. The ear pieces were cut out and shaped (not 100% happy with them, but its a start!), they are "snuggly" secured with flathead screws. The rubber head band also loosely attached. The blue dots on the forehead area are just rare earth magnets wrapped in painters tape which help in temporarily holding the pieces in place.

Eyes and teeth sections dremeled out. As well as the green lens fitted in place.

Greetings All, first I would like to say a big thank you to my lovely wife, without whom none of this would be taking place! also many, many thanks to all those who have helped me with my journey thus far, way too many to mention in one post. Second, just as a disclosure I am admittedly very bad at taking pictures during the building process, these will be mainly "after" pics. That being said, lets get started. Here is the first bucket I received; Next up will be the "assembled" bucket.
