Mystery Helmet Ear cap Correction

[SgtFang]

I've been catching up some threads about the MH, and see there's some disappointment with the ear cap. I want this helmet to be the best it can be so I"d like to get a group consensus on what the real dimensions should actually be.

So I'd like y'all to copy this pic I snagged from Batninja's thread, take it into your favorite drawing program, and draw in the measurements you think it should be, post it back here, then we'll take a vote on what is the most accurate, and I'll make a new pattern for it.

When I get the new one done and molded, I'll send out a free copy to whoever sends me a self-addressed, stamped, PADDED envelope.

That work for you guys?

Sounds good Sarge!

 

[GrottyFurball]

That one isn't bad at all but on the older helmet it's much worse

Here's a quick one I worked out. Thinner in profile, with the lower 'triangle' tucking under the base.

Very much so.

 

[Mandaflorian]

Sarge, that sounds good and I agree with AFFO$

 

[hansoloway]

AFFO$, that is exactly what I did to my MH.

 

[Chewcy]

I think AFFO$ has nailed it, that would make a great helmet even greater

YAY! That's great!

 

[MandalorFett]

I'll be sendin' the self addressed, stamped, and padded envelope. Thanks.

 

[SgtFang]

Ok, so everyone's ok with the current earpiece except for it needing to be thinner, and the wedge on the bottom?

Can someone post a pic or two of the wedge lapping under the main piece? I never noticed that before.

Thanks!

Here you go.

 

[SgtFang]

I'll be darned...:facepalm

Ok, how far would you guys say it laps under? Maybe 3/16"?

[batninja]

Man...wouldn't that be sweet if it were made of machined aluminum?

 

[AFettFullofDollars]

I altered the pic that I posted at the top of the thread a little. Originally I think I had the 'wedge' at the bottom of the earcap a little too thin, plus as is visible in the RotJ helmet pic, you can see that it doesn't come to a point where it tucks under the base. It's squared off.

Any progress on this Sgt. Fang?
Thanks.
