    Yea I was referring to the bucket.  I have painted many in the past and have always hand painted all the details and the actual bucket.   I guess the better question should be do most Centurion builds paint the actual helmet?  Because then obviously the white of the helmet and bucket will not match exactly which may be a good thing I suppose and I actually enjoy painting the whole thing as you can hide little filling mishaps etc.  
    No most do not paint the bucket. They are formed using the same plastic as the rest of the kit so it matches and you don't need to paint it.

    During the movie production a different plastic that was tan/khaki was used to make the helmets. So to match they had to paint them white.

    Thanks!  I do have a question with regards to my Centurion TK build.  The AP set I have is obviously all ABS and polishes up quite nicely.  However due to the fact that I am making an ANH Stunt and all the stunts had painted buckets (your all familiar with all that :-))  That being said does the bucket need to be painted.  I looked around and never found an answer.  Thanks!
    The actual helmet does not need to be painted. The frown and vocoder needs to be painted and some of the details like the tears,traps, and tube stripes can be painted or decals. But no, the overall helmet does not need to be painted if that's what you are asking.
