Quick Update

Previously my neck and helmet were too long. I had made them a bit longer. Which in the case of the neck was fine but in the helmet it really didnt need to be longer. It was more about mounting it at the proper angle. the back was too short because the helmet was up too high and tilted too far forward.

 I'd Like to thank D.S. from 501st Sith lords for invaluable assistance in reworking my helmet mounting and fix.

Since my last post i have actually removed the mount in the helmet and modified the mount in the mask heavily.

Here we see red lines indicating where i need to work on the shape of the 'nose'


Currently trying to determine the RIGHT TOOL for this job. dremel seems a bit heavy handed. i may have to do it by hand with files.. ugh.

 Here is where i need to do a bit more cutting to make the edges of the helmet closer to the movie...

 A Side shot of the needed cut.

The back. looking pretty good really.


SO thats the update. THis has become much more a document than a tutorial at this point. Doing this is rewarding but the effort is incredible.
