Here are a few test print pics of the new ears

I like how it looks similar to the original prop, NGL. I think the outer part of the ear needs to be round and smooth, and the frontal portion of the helmet should be straightened a bit, but I am not sure whether or not the frontal part is good enough. What other plans are you going to add for the mod?

Honestly I think I’ve taken it about as far as I can go with it. I think if I was able, I would make the forehead slope a bit more and take some square-ness out of the dome. I’d fix the teeth and make the area where the vocoder sits a bit more upside down U shaped. And give a slight curve to the vocoder tubes. I’d also fix the trap recess above the temples and make them a bit less round. There’s lots of things I would do if I could. But I think if the community wants a more accurate helmet we need to get someone who is great at 3D sculpting that also has a passion for this helmet. Or someone to get a 3D scan of a production helmet

The work you've done has been extraordinary. :salute: I salute you sir.

Thank you sir! And thank you everyone for all the kind words, it means a lot to me that the community appreciates my efforts. I only did it for the love of this costume (maybe it's more of an obsession lol), I wish I had the skills to make the helmet I truly want. But I have faith someone will release one that gets closer than what I've been able to do. But in the meantime I'm happy to give the community a slightly more refined option for now :smiley-sw013:

I have to admit. You put a lot of effort on making the helmet as accurate as possible. Big kudos.

Glad to see the ear muff printed really nice in resin. :D:smiley-sw013:
