I noticed that about the TB vs TK bells. To me, the TK bells looked closer to the SG bells, than the TB bells did. That is why I went with the TK bells.

As far as the slant, I didn't really do that. Since there is a ridge that is higher than the plane of the bells for the TK, which is not supposed to be for the SG, I applied bondo to bridge the gap. I smoothed everything out so that it was a consistent plane.

The bells were taken off of an old "TX" set I had laying around. Hence the discoloration... bondo on black bells. I just hadn't painted them up yet.

So one yours is there not an angle from the mid-side meeting up the middle tang?

Looking at screen caps etc looks like there is an angle from the middle tang to the outer bell edge.

I went with TB bells as I needed to replace the ones I have for my TB - if it doesn't look quite right once painted etc I can always change them out, the ratios to your will be the same.

Helmet turned out really good Kivas, can't wait to see it all ready to go. If we do family day this year will it be ready?

I should have it done by then - I need to sit down and spend some time looking at the
greeblies for the pike - and more time fixing the backplate, as well...um.. I applied to much heat. Grrrr.

Kivas Get with me on the greeblies for the saberpike. I've made two of these already.

Do you have a kit? or parts list that you used?

I have a parts list of the items that I have used. I have them both for a non saber version and a saberversion. I'm still working out the kinks on the saberversion to have it where it has the greeblies and doesn't fall apart.

The suit is complete - but have since re-modded the bucket to give more of the v taper as we see in the ref pics.

I have one set of pics, but once I re-spray parts of the bucket I'll take new ones - Overall I am quite happy with Version 1.0 Saber turned out really nice - strong, lights up - even though it suffered a chip failure so no sound (working on a work around for that)

Cheers.

Did it fry the sound chip

Well I know when we do the CRL with this we won't make the EP3 helmet the only option. I know that the older helmets where larger. I can't wait to see the greebliees on the pike.

Be sure that you do, for the Emperor is not as forgiving as I am.
(been wanting a reason to use that Vader one for a while )

Seriously though, I can't wait to see your pics.
