Chop the heads off of play figures in a toy store.
Add the paint and cloth.

On a diet? Use a chunk of foam and sand it to shape. Not me.

I sure like it when the headset looks like the modeler was looking at a picture of an actual headset while doing the modeling.
That way they kind of look like the actual headset we might see in the real world.
Cub Man, off the hook!
Madibav8, too small or too blurry, but they appear to be some fantastic units.

Great work guys.

I worked with a fellow at the Sigtronic to get some 3 views to draw the plans from. I try to make it as close to scale as I can. I guess that is why I have spent over 20 hours drawing a set of plane for ΒΌ scale l-4 Thanks SDCrashmaster

I know what you mean. I got very familiar with a set of David Clark's prior to producing the 1:5 scale headset below.

It's all in the details. The more time you spend on those, the more convincing the final results.

What scale is the redplanet stuff? I would guess it's 1/5 scale?
