Casio MQ-1 installation question

[bh19812]

I did a search but didn’t find anything does anyone remember a specific thread about proper placement of the MQ1 circuit board in the helmet looking at pictures there seems to be a little wiggle room there .

It depends on which cast you're putting it into and which version you're making I suppose.

 

[bh19812]

I guess I’ll just keep looking at reference material and see what the consensus seems to be

 

[intwenothor]

My point is that not all keyslot sections are the same size across different helmet casts so if the MQ1 piece is a real found part you'll need to be consistent in terms of the helmet you're trying to replicate so far as the cast you're using allows you to; you might line it up on one side but not the other.

I have an esb fph2 recast sith planet and bought the mq-1 from black tusk workshop but I dont love the cast so I just ordered rafs mq-1 I’ll use whichever is better.

Here's the MQ-1 board mounted behind the ROTJ Hero keyhole (its placement is identical to all the helmets):

And the ESB Hero/ROTJ SE helmet:

These images shows the inside of the ROTJ helmet:

And here's the inside of the ESB Hero helmet:

The MQ-1 board is secured in place with some kind of glue or putty and the lower half is closed with a curved piece (possibly the same material as the visor) which is also secured with the same glue or putty.

You are the man thank you!

Thats just what i was looking for, thankyou for posting the pics

What is the circuit board used for does it do anything?

 

[RafalFett]

No functionality, it's only a cool detail.

 

[wookiebreh]

Thankyou for getting back to me, I can now sleep at night! Dont suppose you know if the casio mq2 number pads are the same size as casio mq1?

 

[RafalFett]

No. Read more here ==> Anybody ever cut up an MQ-2? or here ==> All Metal Boba Fett ROTJ Hero Level 2 Build PIC HEAVY.
