Now, some of you know, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool RotJ guy, but this, THIS, is a thing of beauty, and I'll happily cross over to the other side of the fence for it.
It will be a collaborative effort, and I'm hoping that the final product will at least come close to the sheer majesty of this lid. This project will be deeply personal to me, and I want the involved parties to know how much I appreciate the help they've already given in addition to the help they're going to give. TDH is special.

Advance thanks to:
Chris (the Architect)
Rob (the MixMaster)
Jesse (the All-Seeing Eye)
Brian (the Brony)
Myself (the Jack-of-Everything-In-Between)

I will be watching this one, and I have a light kit with the micro switch and GOW bulbs for this lid just about ready to go. Let me know if you want me to help out as well. That lid is sweet and I would like to try to help out if I can
 
No prob DL. When I have the boards (I'm hoping the end of this month)in hand I will change the TF kit sales thread to include the FPH2 kit.
 
Some progress pics, while she's still pretty and clean. Helmet has been wetsanded, primed and re-wetsanded, ready for silver.
Ears have been primed, wetsanded, and silvered.

This is gonna be sweet.

If you mention ROTJ one more time I'm gonna kick you square in the nuts when I'm down your way in a couple weeks! :p

Rubio, it's ESB or no light kit lol.

Okay, okay, point taken, ya wackos :D

I'm in the process of getting paints together (I'm gonna experiment with a green combo for the dome and lower cheeks).

I'm going blind reading and rereading all of the deadland, superjedi, TF and Jayvee paint threads....

Justin, I'm gonna holler at you in a few for the lights.

Dakota, I still need to get at you regarding your alloy pieces.

And Rob, get your *** home!
 
I am ordering the boards next week, as well as a few of the micro switches. Once those come in,,it should only take a couple days to get the kit built.
