Refined the Ears




Well after some advice on FISD I decided that I needed to go for a 'Hero' lid, therefore I needed to fix the 4 ridged ears and resculpt into a 3 ridge ear. I am now on the hunt for flat/bubble black smoked lenses, decals & a trim solution.

I still need to sand and smooth down the fibreglass on the inside to allow me to attach neck rim seal

So I have finished forming and attaching the ears * filling/sanding (albeit needing so small detail refinement)

I am pondering whether to remove the fibreglass brow, which I was going to attach a standard U-shaped rubber strip to, in favour of attaching a neoprene rubber strip after filling and molding (Cheers to Aid on FISD for this suggestion - he's kindly sending me some :) )

Anyways, as you can see, I think I have made the details somewhat more refined than the very soft detail that was there before.

Next move on this lid is a paint job & some lenses :D

Positioning and forming of the Ears/Antenna







Well, I decided to use the terrible ears that came with the lid... and 'sculp' and fill the badly fitted areas in. I therefore ground down the ends of the antenna section and 'cut' lines in to form the raised bubble (x4) rectangles that sit on the antenna.

I then had to cut the piece in 2, as being rigid fibreglass it wouldnt bend around the 'oxygen' tubes, so I will attach the 2 piece, grind away the difference and fill with P38 and sand to shape
