Is there really a difference between the ROTJ and ROTS? I can't seem to find anything on it

Rotj Is wider on the shoulders vs the ROTS being sleeker and narrow

Been slow to post updates. Haven't really been working on it that much. Just a bit here and there.

Well here we go.

After the last bit of work, I decided to rework the lines a little.

After I worked those to something I was satisfied with, I covered the whole helmet in a thinner filler to work on getting the complex curves right

What this coat also did was really show how the back was not as straight and even as I would like it to be. I pretty much figured I was going to rework the back, but I didn't expect to have to do as much as I had to.

I was too busy to get pictures, but essentially, it required a lot of shaping and filling to get the back symmetrical and straight. This was the result-

So it is almost there. Just a few things left to do really. I have actually done a bit more work, but I will have to wait until tomorrow to update it. I basically block sanded it a bit further, and threw some primer on it to high-light any trouble spots.

Not too much longer now!

Ordered velvet swatches from a couple places, hopefully I can start that soon too.
