My cardstock/foamboard Fett bucket build.

[UltimateGBfan]

So where to start?First off I'm not a scratch builder,this is the first time I've ever attempted to do such,and I have to say that I am quite pleased with the results.

So now onto the good stuff,I printed off WOF's bucket templates on plain white cardstock,which I bought today when I got my paycheck,and I began cutting.I cut the round portions with a normal pair of scissors,whereas I cut all the straight lines with a ruler and a razor knife,this made for nice crisp cuts and that helps a ton!

So once I got the templates cut out I decided to start on what I though would be the easier of the parts(heh,yea right!),which is the ear pieces,IE: Range Finder cover,ear piece below Ranger finder,and opposite ear piece.

So here are the pics of my progress as of 10 mins ago,I hope you enjoy them,thank you.

I will pick back up where I left off sometime tomorrow before I go to work,and I will be sure to post pics as I go.Again thanks for looking.

Yay for more work/updates!

So I had to scrap my cheekbones and mandibles as I assembled them wrong,but I did get the main base of the helmet cut out and assembled to the bucket base.So here are the pics of that:

And the bondoed and sanded earpieces:

It's a slow process but I want to make sure I have a top notch bucket when I'm done!

Looks good so far bro! Scratchbuilding is a long process but definitely worth it in the end. Keep it up!

Thanks.

Also,here is another update:

Got the new mandibles set in,now just have to get the new cheeks in,and I've got the dome cut out and ready to be assembled,it's getting close now,I will probably start glassing it tomorrow.

Here are the pics:
