Can any of you say if there is much difference in the domes of the ESB and ROTJ helms? In particular, in their profiles. Reason I'm asking is that I have got a really good side shot from Brak's CD - Picture # Boba Fett 016 - which is I think the ROTJ version, but I would like one dead-on of the side of the ESB version. Haven't found one on the CD yet.

I've managed to draw a pretty close profile with my CAD programme, and I've pretty much finished the plans for the ESB base - guesstimating and measuring heaps of pictures. I'd post them, but haven't got picture hosting capabilities - although Max Plague has got some of the plans as JPGs.

My plan is to make the lower part in styrene sheet over an MDF frame, which looks like it'll work OK, with the dome made out of clay - but I need the ESB profiles to do that part. Hopefully I can get one of the local fibreglassers to mould it for me.

Any thoughts on the differences between the two domes?
