Thanks KaanE, I was thinking of something similar. That method you posted appears to make the whole ear removable? Its a good idea, and I'll consider it, but I'd like to see about just making the RF stalk come off, rather then the whole assembly itself. But we'll see!

Alright, almost there! It's the home stretch, really. Just need to attach the visor, RF ear, and then finish up the RF box. Once everything else is finished, I'll be weathering it.

I did this just before adding the pin-stripes, I measured the distance from one part of the ear cap to the hole, and in relation to where it sits on the helmet, used the measurements to mark and drill the hole. It lined up perfectly.

I put in another RF stalk for asthetic purpouses for the pic. (hope you dont mind TheDentedOne :p )

Alright, I can say that the helmet itself (not the RF) is completed, minus the keyslot screening. I just installed the visor in tonight, and I gotta say, that it was probably the most difficult visor installation I have ever done. It's in as best as I could put it, most of the issues being the large amount of bondo hindering the visor's placement. Had to grind it as best as I could, even broke a needle file in half :mad: One more thing that I am pretty upset about is that the crack which, despite using both bondo AND JB weld to cover, once again, appeared. Not as in full force like when I recieved the helmet, but its there now. Im just really ticked about it, especially since the JB weld didnt even work...

Also, I weathered the helmet. I really tried to do a *light* weathering as requested, and I hope this is what was expected. Other then that, I just need to finish the RF ear and RF/stalk. Im starting to think about possibly using rare earth metal magnets to hold the stalk in place, but Im not sure yet. I'll most likely try to get a tap put into it so I can just use a bolt. So here are pics!

Can you take a pic of you wearing it? if you want, its ok if you don't want us to see your SW pj's :lol:

Ha! It's bad enough having my room all SW, not good for dating as it is rofl
