Yes that helmet style can be used for ROTS guards. The detachment has made it a rule for you to have it cut that way to beapproved on the helmet style. The ROTS approval is more based on the Robe style. It wasn't until recent years that they separated the Guards listing into ROTJ AOTC or ROTS. It used to be just Royal Guard.

Well since the robes I already have are ROTS robes I will plan on moving forward with the current shape (smoothed of course) unless there are any objections to this.

Guess it would've helped to mention this was a ROTS from the start

We are all creatures of human natures. Its nothing to worry about.

No problem Drakus.
For RotS it will be fine.

Slowly but surely making progress. Added more apoxie sculpt to the front. Hoping to make a lot of progress smoothing it this weekend

More apoxie sculpt added and did a bit of sanding.

Slow and steady. What grit sanding you going to use?

Currently using 120 and I will work my way up to higher grits to remove scratch marks from the 120 once the shaping is done

More progress. Apoxie sculpt has been added to the rim and the first layer of bondo has been applied and sanded on the back. The second layer of bondo was added to start filling in the holes and low areas. From here I need to start smoothing the dome and then it comes down to sanding and applying more bondo as needed to fix any holes or rougher areas. This stage will be the most time consuming but it is going much faster since I finally bought a mouse sander.

Thumbs up.
Great job so far.
