Just in case anyone was wondering I am at it again and I have learned more stuff!!!

I got to this point following almost all the same steps as I did for the first three.  I don't think I ever posted bucket 3 here.  Might have to do a post about that one later.



The biggest difference that I finally realized I had been doing wrong was trying to curve the cheeks that straight cheek line (I think) looks better and leaves more room for your face in the bucket!

I also sanded the dome slightly before adding bondo, which I had not done with any of my previous builds.  This helped me cut down on how much bondo I needed to add as well as helping keep the weight of the bucket down.  Can't speak for durability yet as it hasn't made it to the final stages.

As someone doing a scratch build similar to your first one (skate helmet instead of safety helmet), serious respect on what great results you're getting. Looks amazing!
