(FYI Im wearing a DL TI bucket as it fits me like a glooves) I found the bucket 'INNER CHEEK' area is too small. It was stuck at my forehead when I tried putting on. I read some of the members would do a 'FACE OFF' design by removing the faceplate. But I was thinking to trim the inner part of the bucket OR any other alternatives? What do u think, guys? I will POST some pics by this wkend. Cheers!

Glad to be of service. Pay particular attention to the way Torment cuts around the "ears"--I messed up on one side and had to do a lot of patching to get it right. Check out Torment's WIP--it's really thorough. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me, but there are plenty of other people on the boards who've been doing this far longer (and far better). Looking forward to the pics!
