Here's my Reveal mask....
I made it out of a Rubies Supreme.

I was going to make the inside of it like the ROTS reveal, but I'm kinda stuck on what to use for parts.
Same reason why I don't have the neck piece....

Looking pretty cool.

A thought. Why not make the round, holed part in the middle a strong magnet and all the expanders on the top of the dome mount out of soft rubber, to secure the dome to. Or would that be too time-consuming and impossible to make work?

The inside of the dome will have to be refitted too, to the reveal dome mount...

That could be a fun project.

I've thought of something like that. Just not sure about where or how to get the parts. Someday I'll figure all that out....

Got me thinking of making my JediJeffrey into a reveal, though, I don't like his flat mount piece... and don't know if I have the patience to do that piece myself. Though... his kits are fairly cheap... but how accurate are they?

Actually, I think he fixed the flat head. Or, at least was selling a few at some point with a curved one.

His kits are pretty accurate.
There are a few piano keys on top that are missing. The two hooky-like pieces on either side of the head suffer from a lot of resin bubble problems. Overall though, it's worth what it goes for. I just hate that flat head as well. :pale

Guess I should try and contact him again regarding this. Might as well try and make this helmet a little interesting. Though... I may not be able to use the DP DLX dome with this one if I do, as the dome mount inside the dome would be in the way. Hmm... decisions, decisions...
