Helmet tutorial 5 gallon bucket build
« on: Jul 23, 2015, 10:01 PM »
OK I did a bucket for my cousin he is 10 years old  first get 2 buckets and a hard hat


next cut the hard hat and sand everything inside and out this will save you a lot of time

cut out your temples and make sure you mark you center lines on everything
 
lay a marker on the table and spin the hard hat for the perfect line around the hat


next drill a hole in the hard hat and the inner liner on the center line you will start in the back of the hat you got to cut out the front anyway
 
I use a 1/8'' diameter and 1/4 long rivet to hole it all together 1 in the back 1 on each side and 2 in the front

and then I use e6000 on the inside to tie it altogether next


next on to the next bucket trace out your outside temple



I use e6000 and tape the whole thing let it dry over night

the next day cut out the cheeks and the t visor leave a little pice in the t visor to hole the shape I put 2 rivets in it

cut out the key hole in the back and cut out the trim for the hole


next cut out the cheeks I used a sign like materiel

I use hot glue for this step use it like a spot weld dont glue all at once it will warp( guilty )
 



next is the cover strip on the back and the ears and the key hole





cut out the front pice and fill the edges with what ever you are con-fable with using and  paint I hope this will help you guys out





thank for looking please if you got a tip to do something easier  please share
