Thanks...I really hope it will look "epic"at the end!;)

Ok...I think its time to build the keys on the crown.The keys from portumac are way too small for my mask and wrong shape.The distance from to the keys to the sinkpart is very important.
Not only from the top..from the front look,too.

I made it with photocomparison...left is my mask...right the originalprop..you can see that the originalkeys are a lot longer:

My keys are also made from pics of the originalmask...left Originals...right my masters made from aluminium:

Nice and that's exactly why I want to try the other set of keys that came with my mask ;) ... just need to undo the wrong ones and clean the inside from hotglue residu once I get some isopropyl rubbing alcohol :wacko

No ... I don't ... just some light sanding, touching up and painting of the new keys and other parts which I'll put on . . . it does not have to look prestine ... I like it when it shows character from weathering, scratches and so on :)

I have copper ones. I'll check the codes when I'm home for you. There were a few different tubes that had copper dynodes.
I used to buy loads of tubes from Electron. I would buy all the faulty tubes in bulk and sell them on eBay many years ago.
 
Ok the next step are this "lines"on the front of the facemask.I wanna have this details in my mold.

I use fine wire for that.

Molded in the masksurface:

Next step is the lower edge of the bottompart..the most vaderhelmets having a great molded edge for comfortable wearing the facemask.But the reveal has a cutted egde and is slopy to the right side.So I made this too.First step is to cut the edge on the right height.
