Description

Ears!

I just finished up a second version of the ear plates for this build (new version is in the right column). The old version had several problems, beginning with the mold. I used a poor choice of rubber for that particular mold, and paid for it with a few nasty bubbles. While the castings ended up being serviceable in regard to the bubbles, the pucks on those ear plates ended up being the wrong shape and size. While it was only off by a few millimeters here or there, I had to get it right. It's a passion build after all.

The new mold rubber was a far less viscous material and could practically degas itself, reducing the possibility of retaining bubbles nearly to zero. As a result, the castings came out practically flawless. The pucks on these ear plates are wider and shallower, making for a more accurate appearance when placed in the base helmet.
