So, I recently got my bucket completed as seen here.

As for the jaw attachment. I used a hardhat chin strap glued to the inside of the jaw and fed up to the main helmet. For comfort I also lined the inside of the jaw with felt, as well as behind the teeth to help prevent paint rub.

A small bit of extra elastic was used to help hold it in place on either side.
For the side pieces that over lap the jaw I replicated the printed part out of leather. This allows for easier movement, wearability, and prevents paint wear.
With Nigo, my friend and I experimented with keeping the jaw separate from the main helmet, strapping it around the head. This did end of up working and makes taking the helmet on and off a lot easier, however it does mean that the jaw ends up shifting around a lot more. However when we are next to each other, you would be hard pressed to spot the differences between the two, apart from color of course.

Just a cheeky little photo for both of us.
