gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I like the strapping and especially the double snaps, much safer if one lets go you still have another in its place, I use this on my arms as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamps[TK] Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 mine has the right ear rear gap too (both AP buckets I have), probably more gap than yours... i wouldn't sweat it much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsotheBear Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I started to paint the details on the helmet, as an advice, just paint one square and let it dry, I did all 4 at the same time and it was hard not to get paint all over. I'm going to paint the grey that way, one at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looking good, nice work on those ears and teeth trimming, keep up the great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsotheBear Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Some masking and then painting the grey areas What do you guys and gals think? is the thickness of the black line ok?? And now the frown and the ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsotheBear Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Hello troopers , I'm giving the finishing touches to my helmet and I was wondering about the s-trim, which one of these looks ok? the round or flat on the outside? and where is the the joint?do the edges meet in the front or in the back? I've seen helmet with the joint on both the front and back. Thanks!! Edited September 2, 2013 by OsotheBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I joined my edges under the the front, as that area is black and it helps hide the seam. I put my S-trim with the flat part on the outside. I cannot confirm which is "correct, but I liked the cleaner-flush look when mounted.

Clamps[TK] Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Nice progress on the bucket... how is the fit with all those mitch pads. I have the same kind and I can only use a couple in the front and back. No sides and top as it sits too high on my noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsotheBear Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 they are just a about right , I had to re arrange them a bit but they work fine now, maybe I will try to get the old petal foam one just to see how it compares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Is your padding thin? Or I must have a big head, I can barely fit some padding in my AP helmet lolll. Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamps[TK] Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 the only way to make the foam petal work for me is to use the chin strap (i have it installed). I don;t like using the chin strap, so I opted for the mitch pads and they hold nice, easy to remove and wash if needed. Keep up the great progress!
