Why, thank you, WOF. Although I would have come up with my own plans to build it, it would have taken me forever, and I doubt they would have been so accurate and perfectly-fitted as yours. I had darkraptor from the STT make my stalk, and since he used exactly the same plans printed out at the same scale it worked perfectly. The only modification I made to your plans was very minor - I changed the angles of the stop edges on the stalk pivot housing... if that makes sense. I found the tapered edge of the stalk required slightly angled edges on the upper and lower "walls" the stalk rests against when up or down. Otherwise I didn't modify a single thing about your plans. No need to.
I'm just waiting on my silicon order to arrive (by next Monday IhopeIhopeIhope!!) and I'll start slopping the stuff on. Between now and then I'll have just a little more surface work to refine and it'll be good to go.
I'm really looking forward to having a finished Fett lid. I've been wanting one of these for ages, but I had to get my Vader project out of the way first. Well, my Vader project isn't *really* "out of the way", but it's far enough along that I can relax a bit on it now.
