Hi Mike!

That's an excellent drawing! I have one suggestion that might assist, which is the profile view of the dome. It seems to have a much steeper angle at the back, with the apex just a wee bit back from the mid-way between front and rear.

When I started my scratch-built helmet, I used one of Brak's CD hi-res photos, blew it up and traced it into my CAD program. I think it is of the ROTJ helmet - not sure if the ESB has the same profile? The measurement from front-to-back that I used was 245mm. (The front is on the right side of the photo) Hope this is of some help. Phil
