Any one out there with the Anovos or Propshop Kylo Ren helmet ? can you post a pic with a tape measure next to the face plate so i can get an idea of scale, i'm trying to scratch build, and all pep files etc, are different and a little small . appreciate it , thanks

after about 2 days searching , finally managed to get a dimension , from top of front plate to top of recessed part of the bottom on the plate is near enough 105mm and after further serious photoshop action with 27 reference photographs of the propshop helmet courtesy of Tested.com and Adam Savage , i came up with this , i know its rough but it works , printed out and cut from 3mm palifoam (sintra?) andsome heat gun action . pic soon

rough cutout and bent to shape, left a lot of extra material , incase heatgun melted edges, the pic makes it look too skinny but it is really close

backplate made, 1mm palfoam with details cut out , with 3mm backing layer and milliput to add curves, bit unhappy with back plate , my fault for having no patience, hoping paint will cover up the mess, but i think a remake is gonna be the first order of business

Instead of redoing the back plate, i recessed the front plate with the mighty Dremmel, and they fitted beautifullly, bit of sanding later and all was good, also redid the top vent things ?its painted with a brush , Paynes Gray Acrylic, and a 2B pencil to draw on a few highlights n scratches , tiny bit of acrylic silver in big scratches, looks like the Palfoam texture + brushing makes guite a good match, compared to screen used helmet

This turned out GREAT! I love a good scratchbuild and this has to be one of my favorites so far!

the scale looks very good.
Maybe use a narrower angle of camera for the pics, to avoid weird shape on the picture( with wide angle, makes what is close closer, and bigger, and what is far farther, and smaller, like big nose when it's someone, or fisheye effect)
If you are using a phone I suggest you to use the zoom on screen and take from farther.
