Tolo[TK] Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolo[TK] Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited September 30, 2014 by Tolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) 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.

Grimez Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Actually just gave it a bit of a facelift. (Granted it looks like a budget facelift done in a shady russian doctor's office in the back of a storage compartment) But still a facelift. Redid the teeth and ears with a darker grey to match the decals and movie better. The super enamel really liked the idea of running so i have a good amount of excess paint in between the teeth. Looks better overall though. Good luck with your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolo[TK] Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) 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.

mikedwelle94[TK] Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've seen better and worse. If anything it adds more to the screen-used-and-abused look. I regret not doing something like this on my DT helmet now that I think of it... It'll look killer once you have all the details painted in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Was there a particular helmet you were looking to emulate? I just have never seen one with that amount of damage. It will really take shape with the details, however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolo[TK] Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Black paint applied and mouth painted. The mouth looks dark, but, it is Humbrol Admiral Grey #5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So, for all of you who are able to do pinstripes, well, I hate you lolll.I have a lot of touch up to...I'm a little discourage honestly, since I don't have steady hands. But, will try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spycee[TK] Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Painting straight lines is an art Do each line in one shot, in a fluid movement, not too slowly. Take the brush lightly, not too firmly or your hand will shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) So here is the kinda end product. I'm waiting for my Mic Tips from Keith and I have to get myself some darker lenses. I will also redo the pinstripes in the back of the bucket.
