darthgarth Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi everyone, I am in need of a serious load of opinions here. I am modding an mr ce, part of that mod was buying some new ears from john. They need some serious trimming, but I have a nasty feeling I have gone too far. what does everyone think? I am going for elite first time hopefully, and am having the lid resprayed so I need to get these ears right before painting. Pic 1 is total head shot with new ear, pic 2 is close up of new ear, pic 3 is cut down mrce ear. I think I have cut the stem down too thin on the new ears. what does everyone think. thanks Garreth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkx02 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi Mate, IMHO ,the ears look fine.The problem with the original MR ce ears were they stuck out too much.You actually have me thinking now ,i hav'nt trimmed enough off my ears.The helmet on the left of the pic is an SDS battle spec and the one on the right is an AP built and owned by me .As you can see the ears on the helmets are totally different,your ears look similar in size to the SDS.I am sure someone with more knowlege will chip in soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synaptyx Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Garreth, the ears look good, mate. Hey, that's my Battlespec! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgarth Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks everyone, I think the stems are thinner than from what I can see on starwarshelmets, but then I am sure there are also no two the same. Thanks to the fellow fifer for the pics, that helped. But thanks to all for the comments. Now to try and make the other one match.

darthgarth Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Nice to meet you Gareth, I'm from along the road in Kirkcaldy. not far at all, obviously the fifer lends himself well to being part of the largest army of the most evil despot ever to rule the universe.

synaptyx Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 There's a compliment in there somewhere, I'm sure of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgarth Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 There's a compliment in there somewhere, I'm sure of it. I might test the theory with my brother in law tomorrow, (he's a fifer too) what say if he can hit a barn door at 100 paces im wrong, but if he misses...........nuff said.
