Thanks again Rob, as always your comments are well received.
For the right ear pieces, I used at least two different thicknesses of plastic card from 3mm to 1mm. I found that Alains templates were beyond compare, and only had to alter some of the pieces to allow for the thickness of my materials.
Basically, keep the main top pieces as per the templates, then alter the bits that attach to the sides by making them slightly larger to allow them to be trimmed down to fit.
I kept lots of scrap plastic card on hand, and re-made the bits as needed. I did a lot of test fitting before glue was added, then trimmed/filed the final piece for that flush fit. Once I'm finished all of the fine tuning and it's time to shoot the primer, you'd be hard pressed to find the seams. 8)
Good luck on your ears. :cheers
