Reilic's Legacy Planning
Ohl'd Vart:
;D
Reilic Tralem:
Okay, before I commit to it, how does this look? I would have posted on my bucket thread, but it is sort of old now.
Meaning how does the visor spacing look? I already know that I have to add to the bottom of the template (should have remembered that from before) in order to drop it a bit more below my jaw line. I just worry that the bucket looks to be too big. Yes, I can see decently well out of it, though it looks as though I wouldn't be able to. No cheeks since it is legacy inspired. Though I will be making ear caps.
Ohl'd Vart:
That looks awesome, bro! :D
You may want to slide the crown down a little, or the T-visor up, because when you pad it (if it's not already), it will "ride" a bit higher on your head. If it is already padded, you may still want to do that, or trim the bottom a little...if you notice the canon Fett buckets, they aren't really all that tall.
Also, you might want to cut some shoulder/collar armor out of cardboard, and tape 'em on to see the relative size of the bucket...it looks a bit large/wide now, but with wider shoulders to compare to, it might balance out.

Looks good but, like Vart, I would recommend shortening the dome so you don't end up looking like a Cerulean!
Reilic Tralem:
Yeah, it has the hard Styrofoam stuff AND the light padding that came with the helmet still inside. I was worried that it was riding high, so thanks for confirming that. I almost feel all redneck with what I am about to say here.. I found the perfect thing for my earcaps that will also allow me to hide batteries and wiring; grizzly snuff cans :) With a bit of bondo work, however, you wont even be able to tell what they are.
I'll work on shortening the dome this evening. That might also clear up the problem with the jawline as well. We'll see!
