Dude,

I had no idea there was anything in there. I just dremeled my key slots and put black cloth + black mesh in behind it. I thought that was what it was supposed to look like. Whoops! :eek: See, I'm learning new things all the time here at TDH. :D

I happen to have a little RTV left over from a project DCB and I did. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. If I can't do it (I really don't know jack about molding or casting) I'll outsource it. I'll make sure these do become available. No worries!

I am sure this pic would really piss off the vintage calc collector crew but what are ya gonna do? Here is the guts of the MQ-1, freed from its case. Here is the thing... Take a look at the inside shots of the RotJ bucket in the pics above... I am beginning to believe more and more strongly that there is a WHOLE MQ-1 epoxied into that helmet.... ARGH!!!!!! That means you would have to have TWO MQ-1s to finish a Jedi suit!!! I don't believe the ESB is the same... What do you think?

I guess I need to try to make a mold of the entirity of the guts instead of just the upper half...

OK, just noticed something else... The little display module actually comes off quite easily (another horrified gasp fromt he calc collectors) and once it is off, you can see two holes in the green base board... two holes which match up to what we can clearly (blurrily) see in the inside of the ESB helmet... Now, if I could just confirm/deny the whole MQ-1 guts were used. I am pretty convinced the whole thing was NOT used on the ESB helmet but I believe they were on the RotJ and Prepro and the little knobs were attached to two of the holes in the lower section...

Alright, who do we know in Japan that can get some super hi-res pics of the inside of the MoM helmet while it is still over there?
