I got a 2nd pair from Mark which was already cutted because I messed up the 1st pair 😢😢😢 actuslly I need 1 hour to adapt the left ear

Looking good mate 👠I an duftig with the ears 😡

Thx mate [emoji106]

Thx mate. CRL says frown and Vocoder painted black, so they do not take care if it is painted glossy, matt oder semi gloss black? Compared to Marks suit one starwarshelmet.com it looks like that he used a semi gloss black for Vocoder and frown . What do you think?

Ok thx. Any more suggestions also for the painting I asked on the page before ?

......in the meantime I tried to trimm the first piece. I am not sure but I think i choose the hardest peace, the chest plate. I am a bit uncertain about the trimming. I compared it with Mark´s trimming guide and some reference pictures, but I am still not sure how to trimm. Can you check if I am on the wrong way.

Preparing the teeth for the paint job. Can you please have a look on the area if this will be ok for painting? What color did you use, it is a matt black or a semi gloss black? I have both Humbrol colours available. thx guys

Yes I have a gap. It was impossible to glue the parts together without a small gap between.

Good question I clambed the sides first than I put the front together with the magnets, but I did nod use many glue on the front directly (only on the upper part of the front because of the gap which result from the thickness of the brow) If everything fit together I add some glue on the edges on the inside of the helmet. I took a picture of Mark (hope that is ok for you) to show you where I put the glue on (red line) Sry for my english, german would be much easier to explain it Is it clear to you?

To the guys who already built the helmet. Which colours Did you use?

I clued them together usinf E6000 some magnets and clambs

Hey guys, did some more trimming on the eyes, what do you think? ok?

I did the same, it will work and use some clamps :-P BTW: The ears are the bigger problem

I had the same gap, but I adjusted both sides a bit and the gap was closed. But you have only a bit overlaping (5mm) but It will work. I need an hour to find the satisfying solution yesterday

Better than the eyes of my bucket, I have to cut them a bit more today . Good Job So far

yeahhh....are you approved? So already started today with the helmet. What do you think? Any comments?

Good luck mate. I will start with my helmet on the weekend. Very helpful photos, Mark. These are the kind of pictures I was looking for last night On below mentioned photo I noticed the first time that I have to relieve a bit of the ears? Is this correct?
