Here is a breakdown of all my previous updates: July 8 2008 And here are the pics of work on my bucket. Remember this image, the one with all the crap on my bucket. The stuff that I was going to have to sand clear off...  And now, thanks to the awesome Rockler stuff, here is the result (though this isn't the same side, you can still see the result). Keep in mind, most of the front my bucket was sanding rough.  If you ever need to do some sanding on any of your armor, I highly suggest this stuff. I will try and track down the direct link and post it. Also, my Firefighter friend was able to get me a helmet liner from his work. It is much nicer and much more comfortable then the one that comes with the bucket (though that one isnt bad). Its also fire proof, so while the bucket will melt to my face, the liner will be just fine.  July 14 2008 Hey Guys, Got grill all sanded out and then taped it all up. I sort of want to leave it that way.   July 15 2008 Here is a picture of my bucket painted. My question is, before I remove the tape, is there any kind of sealer I should paint over the gray?  July 15 2008 Well, the tape went fairly well. There were a few leakage spots even though I taped really well. I used an exacto to get a straight line, but there are some light spots you can see around the frown. I need to get some black gloss paint and hand paint around the frown. Don't have the paint now, so out to the store.  Alright. Here is a picture of the boots I found. What do you think? I got them on Clearance at a Shoe Pavilion that is closing. They were just for temporary use, but do you think they would pass? September 24 2008 Alright. Here is a picture of the boots I found. What do you think? I got them on Clearance at a Shoe Pavilion that is closing. They were just for temporary use, but do you think they would pass? (They are too short. My calf armor doesn't cover them properly)  And this is my first test fitting. I have pointed out the things I need to do and the areas I am not sure what to do. Any advise would be helpful in any of these areas.  October 15 2008 Here are some images of the fans setup in my bucket. I completed this tonight. Two fan setup (for now). Picture of the battery back setup at the back of the bucket. Also, there is a fan here that hits the base of my skull  Tubing I used for the wiring  Front fan for the mouth  Fans are a little loud from the outside, but with some ambient noise, I don't think it is that noticeable. In the bucket, There is a little more noise. One of the fans is rattling just a little, but I will deal with that later. October 31 2008 Test fitting number 2! I think things look a lot better. I definitely need to take CAndy's advice for the shoulder armor, just wants to turn out. The torso armor needs to be centered. I need to cover the label on the pants. Other then that, some minor things I see, but good enough for our Halloween party. Any other suggestions people?  February 16 2009 So, I promised blaster pics and I might be just a few weeks late, but here they are. Enjoy. Blaster tip cut off...  Some attachment. Waiting for the glue to dry  More attachments..  Getting the stock arm to stay in place  Little grooves I cut into the cap ends on the stock arm to look like a flat head screw  The end cap of the stock with the made from hanger link  Gun all nice and painted with the primer  The finished product   Pretty  The wire job  And that is all my previous updates. I hope they help someone  Edited by Darth Emphatic, May 1 2009, 04:15 AM.
