Here are some updated photos of my progress over the last couple of weeks. Concentrating on the keyslots and the entire back of the helmet. I used heat formed styrene for the keyslot insert by strapping the plastic to a 1 1/2" piece of plumbing pipe and using the boiling water technique to keep its shape. Attached template to the styrene and then cut out the keyslots. The rest of the insert is strip styrene and sheet. The last photos show the back with the first coat of primer applied. Ready for sand, prime, sand, prime... you know the drill. A question for anyone out there. The MQ1 casting I have has the lower section of circuit board but I do not see this section shown in any of the reference photos. Should I cut this lower section off and fill in around the casting with sheet to better match the MQ1 such as bobamaker's? Any help with this area would be appreciated.
