Lol love the work you have done... have you got any hi def/detailed pics of those scratches you made on the helmet, as im planning on doing those to my Bobamaker helmet once it gets here.. Im guessing you did those with a dremel cutting disk? :D

Most of my reference pics come from here:

http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/misc/tdh_ref/
thdmember/ilovetdh for the login.

The back right side of the RotJ helmet isn't covered in that gallery.

There's also the reference disk that you can get off of the home page here, with even more than that. The missing part of the RotJ is on the CD.

For the ESB helmet, I use Darth Miller's C4 Fett pics:

I actually downloaded every MoM photo in there... :p

I meant for 'that' helmet you just did, in the primer stage cutting out the scratches, if you did any photos of all the surfaces and the cuts you made, whilst still in primer... Im planning on doing the same thing with my helmet when it gets here, and Id love to be able to have it look as good as yours does...

Btw you did use a dremel tool right? :p If so what one? :D

I usually don't take a ton of progress pics, since I tend to feel like it's all be done a million times before. That could just be me remembering the million times I've replaced my own helmet though! ;)

What photos I did take are all here:

Yeah... I used an engraving bit on it, rather than the cutting disk. It looks like a little cone with fine blades spiraling around the edges. Cuts through the resin like a hot knife in butter.
 
I've been watching your progress and then glancing at my MR helmet and each time I just shake my head in resignation, there's no way I could cut into my pretty (although somewhat malodorous) helmet.

I love that the resident "experts" at MR have pooled their talents to create this replica helmet and you guys have said "close but not quite" and proceeded to fix their finished product to get it that little bit closer to perfection.

Inspirational stuff, kudos to all of those involved (y)
 
it's definitely a tough pill to swallow.

from what i've read, just replacing the visor makes a big difference, if you're looking for things to be improved a little without hacking it all up! :)
