    GMH Aluminium Ears - Commitment

    Hi Guys,

    I've been PM'd by many guys asking about this project and I'm glad to say that I am at the final stages of being able to offer these ears to adorn the awesome GMH helmet that has been brought to us by both Art and Chris...

    I'm not one for long posts as you know...
    But I was fortunate to be asked to undertake this project (with help from a keen eyed member here, Keegan) and between us we have addressed many finite details to achieve what I think will be some great additions to the GMH lid.

    I would invite Keegan to step in and post further information / details on how this all came about...

    But in the meantime I'd like to openly start an interest thread to establish whether any of you GMH owners would be interested?

    I have no prices as of yet and I appreciate that your posts would be "Interested pending price" but the more interested parties the cheaper I can keep the costs down. (More details to follow)

    Here are a couple of rendered shots of what we are looking at - Complete sets will include all accurate fixings!


    *** UPDATE ***

    Costs for these Ali ears is $250 (Shipped) the costs include everything!!
    (All funds to be sent 'gifted' to gavdrew007@aol.com)



    - 5 Piece ear set.
    - Pivot bolt for stalk.
    - All accurate brass screws for mounting them.

    Now... I don't normally do this, BUT... due to the costs associated with this size of run I'm going to need money upfront, and a minimum of 43 members to make this run happen!

    I'm gonna let this thread run for a while to gauge numbers and member commitment, production will commence 2nd week in April when the CNC machine is available. expected turn around 1-2 weeks.






    Cheers,

    Gav

    Don't even have a GMH on order yet, but I'd take a set now and hold them until I do, Gav. Thanks!

    Re: GMH Aluminium Ears - Interest

    Feast your eyes on the best set of replica ears that have ever been made. That's right I can say that and its not boasting (well maybe just a little)

    When you say I helped you Gav, do you mean harassing you about changing .2mm here and there was a good thing? Gav has really put in the work on these ears and really cared about making them as close to perfect as possible. They turned out to be very challenging in many ways and yes, sometimes obsessing about fractions of mm made a big difference.

    These ears have all the original features and this has never before been achieved in a replica. The microswitch slot, the weird little holes on the backside of the inner ear, the odd angles have all been replicated referencing the GMH ears. For the unseen and unknown details, heavy research was done and if we didnt get the details exactly right, at least they Look exactly like what is seen on the original ears. More about these details later.

    Every GMH owner should sign up for these. They are very special ears for a very special helmet.

    Cheers for posting kbrosseau...
    I too think these will be the most accurate replica to date, and the 'harassing' has certainly paid off!

    I'm interested. What's the possibility of getting parts machined from a different metal, like nickel or brass (understanding that the raw material cost would be different)?

    Hey bud, thanks for your interest but I'm curious as to why you would want them made from those materials?

    I'm interested in plating and/or acid etching the parts. Aluminum is less suitable for that than say, brass. It could be as simple as throwing different raw stock on the machine, or it could require different tooling. I don't know whether it would be a huge deal for the machinist, or no problem, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

    Not that your asking me, but it would deffinently need different tooling
    and the whole point is to replicate them to the originals as best Mojo can

    Re: GMH Aluminium Ears - Interest

    It would require different tooling and altering the parameters because the metals would react differently. Even different types of aluminum can react slightly differently and alter the end product.

    Not that your asking me, but it would deffinently need different tooling
    and the whole point is to replicate them to the originals as best Mojo can
    BGH is right Rich, I'm trying to replicate the ears as best I can to every detail including the materials?
    I'm interested in hearing more on your project tho?

    Nice you put the stalk taper on the front edge only so it stands vertical in the up position...

    Man, those look like they will be excellent.

    Any idea who would make the best RF topper that would be compatible with this set?
    I haven't looked for any Boba parts "a la carte" lately, so not sure who's making RF toppers these days.

    Re: GMH Aluminium Ears - Interest

    Terminalfettler does some of the best aluminium rangefinder toppers I've ever seen, but I don't know if he will do a run soon, ask him. But if you want to go really screen accurate, build your own from plastic sheet around a precut Perspex block to the measures you want.

    Re: GMH Aluminium Ears - Interest

    I think Gav meant to say the holes for the microswitch wont go all the way through. Too many holes and slots can make a man crazy...

    I think the stalk is staying pretty much the same as in the latest renders except for the mounting holes for the RF top will be changed a bit.

    On that note, there is talk about doing different versions of the RF top mounting method.

    Boba Fett Second Prototype Helmet - The Dented Helmet Gallery

    Above is the PP2 stalk. You can see a screw going up through the bottom of the stalk to hold the RF top on. I feel like this was probably like that at the time of the Kenner shoot and was not added later but I have not been able to prove that. Can anyone spot the screw in a vintage picture?

    Other original stalks either have filed off screws (ROTJ, PP3) or none showing at all (ESB)

    Would people be interested in having different versions of the screws showing for accurate PP2, PP3, ROTJ ? Or would those accuracy nuts prefer to drill their own holes if they choose?

    Dang, I don't even have a GMH, but I still think I need these.

    As everyone has said, "depending on price I am in".

    I wander if I can get some 25mm thick acrylic sheet?

    Sorry for the delay in updating... daughters B-Day.

    I hope to have some pictures for a kinda side by side 'dare to compare' thing later tonight, I know Keegan is keen to show some of the details that have gone into these babies.
