My new bucket

Hello, I've been in the 501st for over a year now and said that I found out after 30 troops it was time for a new helmet. The thing I hated most about my old helmet was it was so hard to take it off to get a quick breather. I didn't have a self contain power source I had to run a wire down to my bandolier and the way I had it wrap around my neck I had trouble moving my head which would give me a heck of a stiff neck. It was just to cumbersome and in need of a change. I trooped with some Scout Troopers and liked how the the front of the helmet flipped up and then it hit me like a million voices screaming all at once that's what I want. So to the drawing board I went and needless to say I had a lot of trial and error. It was hard to make it look as one piece and not have a noticeable seem but I finally got it. So I thought I would share some pics with you all I hope you like it. So far I wore it for 3 troops and let me tell you it is awesome everything is self contain no more wires and I also added some see-thru side vents to give me peripheral vision. So far I have had a lot of people tell me they want one maybe if more are interested I'll start making some.
So enough of my rambling on to the pics.
Thanks for your time.
