I finally got my AP TK bucket finished tonight - complete with Stompers Two-Tone HOVI's and Smitty's Lenses (thanks dudes, you are truly masters of your craft!)

 

I'm pleased with the finished version, bit of a squeeze to get my head in but much lighter than my converted MR bucket

 

whaddya think?

Looks great! Maybe consider removing just a lil more flashing from around the eye that has the hump. Definitely did a great job on it tho! Beautiful!

That's one nice looking bucket.

Looks good, the eyes will help like the others have said.

 

That side by side picture confirms my melon will probably never fit into an AP

 

Don't be so certain. I'm a pretty big dude at 6'2 and 230 lbs. I've got a pretty good melon on me too. I wear an AP just fine. Had to open the bottom up a bit to make it work...but it works. I do have to put it on sideways and twist it into position though. Once on, it's fine though.

Great job on the bucket, FANTASTIC job on that frown! I agree that the eys need a bit more trimming, but that's just me :rolleyes:

(yes and they are a bit small, eh? not enough room to change your mind in those things)

Thanks for the positive comments folks. :D

 

I'll have another look at the eyes, might be tricky to trim the sockets as the lenses are now very firmly glued in place :rolleyes:

'K folks, went to work on the "eyelids" veeeeeery delicately with a fine blade and some files.....do I need to trim much more away?

That looks much better Steve, if you like the bump then leave it as is. We all know the AP is a little over exagerated but that looks good. If you trim them much more you will most likely loose that detail all together.

That makes it look even better Steve! Good job! :)

That's an awesome looking bucket man! Now you just need to dirty it up! LOL J/K. Here's to hoping that one day my wife will let me do a TK in addition to my TD! Great job on that lid Sir.
