Hello.
I've been trying to wrap my head around the reasons behind the fabrication of the Scout helmet in two separate pieces.
Since I know little to nothing about sculpting and vacuforming, I was wondering if I would be able to start a discussion here regarding this topic?
What very little I do know is that undercuts are an issue that would facilitate the helmet being formed in two distinct pieces, but the visor being halved as well has me scratching my head.
Were the helmet and visor sculpted in two separate pieces, or would they have been sculpted in a single piece then cut in half, molded then vacuformed like that?
Does it have something to do with the distortion of the vacuforming process?
I think I grasp the reason for Nien Nunb's and the B-Wing, but I don't understand the Scout's visor.
Any answers, thoughts or opnions would be greatly appreciated.
