Darkravage's ComMando bucket
« on: Nov 20, 2015, 10:35 PM »
Hi everyone.  I wanted to make a thread for my helmet.  Its almost done, but I'll post pictures of my process.

This is the raw helmet, ready for paint.


I painted a layer of silver, then used spots of vaseline to create weathering.   I then use a layer of gold to make the weathering more interesting.



Here is the top and bottom painted.   The cheeks will be red and the visor area will be orange.

Thanks!  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  Looking out the visor with the lights around my vision makes everything look really cool.

What size head does that fit? Very nice bucket.

I have a pretty big head, and it fits me great!  I have one of the newest Boba Fett helmets that was at Target this year, and my nose was smooshed against the visor on that helmet, but I have no problems with this helmet.

Shuck'a in case you were curious, this looks like a rip off make or Dha Brals commando which I personally think has nicer crisper lines.:)

Yeah, Dha Bral has the legit mold.

In any case, you will most likely need to extend that visor all the way down to the bottom of the T.  They'll sometimes let tiny gaps slip past, but that visor looks like it comes up an inch or so short.

It's a trick of perspective.   It's well less than an inch.  It's less than half that.

At first, I personally wasn't sure about this one. But your lights and color scheme really made this one pop, Vod. I can't wait to see the finished kit.

Thanks!  I'm waiting for my armor to come in, but I'm going to get my soft parts done while I wait.
