Awesome work Greg! Would it be possible if you could share the pep files that you used for the chest? Thanks again

Check out my first post! I believe I noted where I picked up the files from.

I had that same Dell inspiron back in 2003! Not kidding, it's still here.

Ha! It's slow as hell, but good enough for allow me to navigate my pep files while I work!

I prefer styrene/hips over abs just because I find it does form better

ABS forms equally as well as HIPS or Styrene but it is not as easy form using a vacuum cleaner like most hobbyists use to form plastics.

Shop vac. Just sounds so more masculine than "vacuum cleaner".

You should thank him for translating it into American English. He didn't call it a hoover.

WTH!!!!! I was spray painting my second bucket and after some minor issues with Rustoleum (along with all of the feedback on the forums), decided to switch to Krylon. I used Krylon Maxx primer and gloss white paint. First issue I noticed, the gloss white actually appeared flat. Then I was attempting to fill some spots I had missed with glazing putty and while spreading it on, this happened!

I had let the white cure for well over 24 hours. What did I do wrong? Is this a reaction between the paint and the glazing putty, or did I not wait long enough?

 

I'm so frustrated with this!

Nice job! I just sold mine to a fellow garrison mate, these are really nice buckets.

Very cool work, lots of talent there. Curious to how much silicon it took to cover the helmet and make a mold??

I would love to see someone else's finished bucket, especially paired with armor!

I absolutely plan on doing so, but it won't be until early next year once things slow down a bit and I can finally get to work on it.

Wow - this came out GREAT! You should be really proud. :salute::peace:
