Got this from a fellow 501st member. He did most of the trim work and even got the primary placement of the dome/face. I've never built a TK helmet before, but I've been researching this particular helmet shortly after the acquisition. The biggest issue I'm having really is the ears in conjunction with the rest of the helmet. The ears were not really worked on which allowed me to do that part at least
Now, considering no experience with this kind of build, I think I have a decent start. The ears fit pretty well as is with a "reasonable" gap, but I will continue to try and bring this a little closer before adding the lower bolt
However, looking down below...I have this....
I'm not very fond of this little gap with the helmet. I'm not entirely sure how to properly rectify this issue. I did a test fit of the weather stripping material and it doesn't seem to help the overall appearance I'm looking to replicate..
Anyone deal with this before?
Other thing looking at this is I think the supplied brow trim is a little to tall based on reference images...opinions?
Thanks...
