SC Helmet Build

[TK6782]

Okay guys I have been thinking about doing a zombie bikerscout for halloween so I got a bunch of seconds from SC. Its tough to tell from the pictures but the parts are bubbled and different colours from different shipments of plastics. The helmet parts were different colours as well, and since it was only going to be a zombie biker I wasn't too worried. Here is the progress so far.

 

 

The complete set of seconds

 

 

I glued the helmet together with e6000 glue. I glued the two sides together then the top. I also glued the face to the visor as it was pretty gappy without the glue. I filled the crack in the back and the large gap beteween the side pieces and the top (Once I finished painting the helmet with the gloss you could see I didn't do a very good job and I might touch up the filler later)

 

I cut out the eye hole and the ears with a dremel though next time I think I might use a coping saw.

 

I used primer then about five coats of gloss spray paint

 

 

 

I used screen door mesh for the ears - screws still need to be painted grey

 

aerator is stock from SC still needs painting and attachment I just taped it on for the picture

 

Fishhook and stickers from Trooperbay.com (most are still in the mail)

 

Back crack is filled but filler at the very bottom was still slightly wet and the paint cracked.

 

Overall its looking pretty good. I still have to;

fill the crack on the back

I have to sand out a run that I got on my fifth coat of paint

paint and fill the visor screws

attach the last of the stickers when they arrive

add foam to the inside

paint and add the steel aerator tip

 

Let me know what you guys think, I don't see many SC helmets around.

Looking good Lucas, the SC lid looks very nice, is it a waste to zombify this kit?

Maybe an Endor hardened trooper would be an idea? Ewok battered ?

That's my thought as well so because of this I'm going to use my Rubies for the zombie. Ill keep posting my progress on the build.

I think that looks great! Could you direct me to either SC's instructions to build the bucket or a thread on here with a step by step process of constructing it? I just got the SC helmet in the mail today, didn't order the greebs, stickers are on the way.
