Use the IMG codes mate, Highlight the pic on Photobucket then you will see a box, It's the code at the bottom you want. Just left click on the [img] part and paste here.

ok so besides the pic stuff the helmet looks kinda square to me and it doesnt look quite right cuz of it (dont think its crl or anything just my personal opinion) also idk if its just cuz their lying on the ground or what but it doesnt look to my like the top of your chest armor and you gorget match up. other than that ner vod looks good to me

Ditto, I'm not a link-chaser. There's a bunch of easy ways to post pics that have been linked so far. Use 'em!

I have no experiance with scratchbuilt bucket's, but from what ive seen. Some use a cycle helmet or similar for a dome then work froom there. Seems to work, it might help you too

I will tell you this from experience, the first helmet usually doesn't turn out right in some ways. Use it as a learning experience. I would suggest getting some matte board (the stuff you put behind pictures). I was lucky on my second, but I used this as a guide for mine, http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/antmans-second-cardboard-scratch-build-24821/ . If you look at my helmet, I think it came out pretty good. It takes a lot of effort to do a complete cardboard helmet but its worth it, cause you honestly can say, yes, I DID make this. you show that you have talent with it, just need the right type of building material.

P.S. Try to use less bondo, less sanding later

i looked that site up, first time i've seen that thread, built my bucket pretty close to the same way

, didn't do things the same way ended up as a little more work for me but made it through.

Didn't end up getting my helmet ready to paint. bondo doesn't like the rain $:-\$

Due to weather and things going on i was delayed, but starting tomorrow i'll be starting painting, will be posting up pics. let me know what you guys think, took a lot of work (and bondo XD) to get the dome rounded up nice, and it all shaped.
