NE helmet assembly help

[TK5144[TK]]

I have paged through NE build threads, but have not found a good picture of how / where to trim the face plate so that it will not leave a large gap or step-off above there ear, where the back meets the face.

 

Anyone have good pics of this?

I have seen that they changed the ears. So there is no more gap like before.

even with the new ears - there will be a step off right where the back meets the face plate. 

to minimize this the faceplate is going to need to be trimmed - this trimming is what I am seeking some guidance on.

 

Thanks

here is the ledge or step off that I am talking about  (not my helmet - I copied that pic from another build thread)

 

Even with new longer ears, that will still won't be covered.

Perhaps it will be covered with the brow trim, but I would like it to sit flush.

the above picture shows an example where too much was trimmed - leaving a gap

 

 

another example above of the step off /  ridge

here is a pic that has eliminated the step off, I am just not sure how?   maybe its just the brow trim covering it?

I'm just going to bump this?

 

Anyone?

I think you will find it's a combination of the trim as well as the ear covering most of the gap. Ears do cover a great deal of the sides, so I would look at fitting them and see how you go. If you still have a gap you could put a strip of abs in between the top and side, that will bring that section inwards more, good luck
