Thanks to some helpful tips in another topic I am ready to dremel the dimples into the proper place on my Rubies Deluxe helmet.

Before I begin I would like to know the best placement for them. Dimensions, measurements if possible.

Thanks!

Got a picture to show this? If I think what you mean by "dimples", you are referring to the nail marks on the upper side of the cheeks under the eyes right? They should be pretty much accurately shaped and placed on the fiberglass helmet.

Only the plastic Supreme helmet had them wrong, afaik.

Yeah thats what I meant. It's the plastic Rubies deluxe helmet. I filled in the old ones and now need to dremel new ones on.
 
Supreme. The Deluxe refers to the fiberglass helmet. :thumbsup

This is the best picture I could find that clearly shows where they should be - if the owner of the picture wants it removed I will.

Ah. It almost looks as if the one on the right in the photo is shorter than the one on the left.

Well, I messed up mine :-/ I think I put them in the wrong area and made them the wrong shape and too big. Maybe I'll post a photo. I'll have to fill them in again and try to do it again I guess. I just hope thats even possible.

It would be great if someone could take a 'from above' view photo of them for me.

Nah... that's just lighting. Go check out Vader pictures where ever you can... I think http://www.darthkahnt.com/ is pretty extensive with reference material! :thumbsup

Well... I think it would be easy to redo them... just fill the mistakes with some good filler - AquaMend comes to mind - and then redo the grooves.
