It's been a long time since my last helmet. I have been busy with moving into a new place and other family stuff. It's about time to start something new!
This is one of the original MSH1 helmets that i have done some some modifictations to. I mainly did some changes to the dent and visor area. I rebuildt it a bit because i thought it was a little too open. i also made the dent a little smaller. Still some work left before paint. I will post newer pictures as i progress. There was quite a bit of trimming adn sanding. I've spent close to 30 hours on it til now.
It's hard to see, but i used a dremel to make the damage on the surface. It has some smaller chips here and there and some scratches.
What do you think?
If anyone has any suggestions or tips i would be glad to hear
My next steps would be:
-Get a new RF top.
-Install the visor.
-Complete all the scratches and chipping.
-Cut the borden connector.
-Widen the gap on the visor area jus a little.
-Make the shape of the dent better.
-Sand down the left side of the mandibles as the original is not as symmetric.
-Install the circuit board in the rear.
I still dont know what these 2 stubbs on the circuitboard is. They are on the rear of the ROTJ helmet as well. Any ideas?
