Aliens Dropship helmet part ID help

[wtyler3]

For the left side I went with casts even though I have most of the parts from the various model kits and such. The grill is from an old TV that is impossible to find and I dont think the round part has been identified. For the right side I am going with all orginal parts as I have them all, including the belvin hoses. As an aside, i did find a different bike hose that has the same weave, etc but not the same ends.

I also have the 3D files and thought to use the belvin hose cuts files but honestly they are not quite right. I hand built the white version and the green version is mostly hand built too.

Where are those videos? I would love to take a look.

Kit name, part number [if poss], how many of each part is in a [complete] kit, would all be amazing!

Hi yes no worries . Parts 1,2 & 3 are from the Revell Robotech Tabor kit . Luckily all those parts are from one kit . I’ve uploaded a pic of the box lid for reference. The other part is from a poleroid camera (pic attached) it’s the housing of the button you press to take a picture cut down.

These are all the parts in the robotech kit you’ll need

Moving on to the left side,
Ebay was great for the interior support plate in the second shot. I used a 2mm thick 110mm diameter round Perspex disc (slightly shaped ) epoxied into place . Next onto filling the small recess at 7-9 o clock at smoothing out the edges . It’s getting exciting now .

Colour!
I’ve got a tin of original Humbrol 170 but I’ve tested it and it’s very “brown” I’m not sure I like it and doesn’t really seem to match anything I’ve seen on the internet. Are we caragotically sure Bess brown was used unmixed with anything else . I’m tempted to add a little olive drab with it .
Any thoughts here’s my test piece

Thanks for your kind comments it was a labour of love but my biggest skill if you like was patience . Don’t rush anything, measure all your cuts several times and enjoy the build.
