Here's a nice update for you guys!!
Gav just sent me some pics of both faceplate and dome together!! Sorry for the pics, the good light had gone by the time he'd gotten it trimmed and assembled for the pics. I lightened them up a touch though.
It's looking superb now!! Can't wait to see it with the greebs and visor installed!
Gav reports the face and dome fit together really well which makes assembly very simple. You can see the small dimples either side of the "mouth"? Those are locators so you know where to drill and fit your aerators! Then the three grill strips fit in the three slots after you fit your cowl!
Speaking of which, I've bought the material for the cowl and will be fitting it as soon as the face plate gets to me.
Hope you guys like it!

AWESOME!! This looks amazing! I want one now lol
You going to use Marine vinyl for the cowl? Or a more cloth-like fabric?

I'm gonna go for a faux leather vinyl. Marine vinyl is very pricey for what it is and faux leather will have very similar qualities.
Thanks mate! Glad you like!

Wow!! that looks great! Awesome Job Skip! Fantastic Mojo!!! Top notch! It's funny how first people started building models of handmade things in 3D, now we're hand-making models of 3D pieces!

Got some pics guys. I fitted a cowl to the first cast faceplate yesterday. A few tweaks to be done then it'll go back to Gav for paint and greebles.

Thanks very much mate. I need to make some small tweaks to the cowl then I'll be sending it back to Gav for paint. He should have the aerators sorted by the end of the day tomorrow which is fantastic!

UPDATE!
Here is the new aliminium master for the aerator! Massively improved and resized to fit the lid. The other was too small and we later found it to be inaccurate too.
This master will have a silicone bath twice over and we'll have all we need for this kit to finally become a reality. Hope you guys like it.
The price again is $190 plus shipping per kit, you'll get the face plate, dome, 2xaerators and the three small parts for the mouth vent. The general word was that people would be happy to suply their own cowl material so that's not included nor is visor material. Though I do have vinyl here so if some people want a cowl it can be done until my vinyl runs out. PM me for info.
Please post here if you're interested or want to order yours now so we can build a new list of interested folks.
Thanks guys!!

I had a thought on the price too. I'm new to selling kits/props so as this is my first I'm lowering the price to $190 plus shipping!
You guys don't all know what quality you'd be getting(a very high standard, trust me) so to make it easier I cut the $35 off the price. How's that?!
