Great work. I hate to even say anything after all of your hard work. I noticed that the ear pieces were not lining up on your helmet the same way as in the films. The overall shape is looking good though.

Mandalorefett - thanks for the comments :) without people pointing things out to me, the helmet will never be as good as i want it to be. I have addressed the ear problem already (see the attached pics). The problem was i was using a set of old ears i had lying around and these were slightly too short. I have since made a new set as per the pics :)

I have also added the dent (still to be tidied up though).

Very nice Jon :) Will you be selling them when you finish it up?

Thanks for the kind words Andy (y). I will be selling fibreglass copies of this lid once i am happy with it (hopefully in the next couple of weeks). Its not just a money making exercise though, i just want to produce a lid that is good and people would want to own (at an affordable price) :)

spread the good karma :cheers

I think the dent is very slightly oversized, and that is making it look a little too low. I measured off an exisitng bucket i have and the dent is 47mm from the brow and 33mm from the centre line of the dome. Mine has been installed to these dimensions but just looks a litle off :facepalm I guess i will have to live with it.
