Help on Raiders bash

Post by RichardSK »

I recently received my new AB and rather than a Raiders temple bash, I gat what looked like a CS style. I've begun pinching the front but before I start using steam, I would like some advice. How do I achieve the dramatic inverted "V" of the brim as shown in the photo?

Thats a Raiders bash alright.

The angled pinch gives it away - A CS doesnt have a pronounced angle like that.

If you're refering to the creaes themselves they can be quite different depending on the size of hat I believe.But may also have relaxed a little.

Did you specify a specific bash?

Yes, I asked for the temple scene. The front pinch and slanted brim I have done myself.

That swoop of the brim can only be (or is at least most easily) achieved while it's on your head. It's a product of your head distorting the shape of the turned crown. Though I can't tell if there's enough turn to make it work... it looks like the bow isn't far enough forward.

Edit: Aeris beat me to it. But as it stands, you can't really observe the swoop unless you're wearing it.
