Needing help with 2 measurements on a Darth Vader ROTS Helmet

[joshbea6]

I'm currently in the process of building a Darth Vader ROTS Helmet, and I need to get 2 measurements that are unfortunately incorrect on the model that I'm working off of.

I'm needing the measurement of the maximum depth of the silver nose section (from the black triangular face) - purple line, and the maximum depth of the grill just below the silver nose piece - red line.



If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm really needing some help on this one. Anyone?

I sadly don't know much about the RotS, but based on the OT helmet, it seems you should have the back of the nose sit twice as deep, and the distance between the teeth and the nose on the basic model seems correct, so just angle the teeth inward at the top the same amount you deepen the nose indent.

Hope someone comes along who can actually help.

Looking at my Revell 3-piece miniature helmet, the silver nose goes rather deep, and the vertical teeth are sunken further back than the deepest part of the silver... Hence my request.

Don't use the Revell as reference. Go with pictures of the real prop instead.

Even looking at the ROTS Master's replica seen here, there is a depth difference in the silver nose and the vertical "teeth"

I see what you mean. You can easily use the Master Replicas helmet as reference as it is as close to the screen used helmet as possible, so if anyone has an MR and can help you out, I really hope they'll chime in here, so you can get this just right.

I have a MR ROTS in my collection...what do you need inches or cm?

 

[joshbea6]

cm or mm would be AWESOME!!

Oops... Duplicate...

Sorry for my late response...
Nose: ca.10mm..its a round line...so I looked about the direct way from point to point
Mouth: ca.19-20mm
