gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 While waiting for my blaster to dry I decided to take the plunge and start trimming my helemt. Think most people are worried about cutting their helmet the first time around. Think it is going ok so far just needs a bit more finishing sanding on the ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 OMG I hate ears, sooooooooooo much sanding just to get them sitting roughly flush. Cut my visor, made a piece of double metal mesh, thick and dark, also glued a few pieces inside to mount the visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSpecial[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Thats lookin great Glen Don't worry too much about getting the ears perfectly flush, the originals weren't anyway. Edited August 9, 2012 by RedSpecial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think, you could trim the right Ear, when you look at the front of the Helmet, a little bit more. Compared to the other Ear, it looks a little big thicker. Otherwise, your Helmet looks nice so far! Great work. Can`t wait to see the paint.
