Ok. Time to get back to work on this. I am thinking of adding some length to the skirt on the dome. The dome is just too small and I think if I add some length it will look better. What do you all think?

I think you can easily add 1.5-2 cm to the skirts all-round without making it look bad.

Ok. That was how much I was thinking as well. Do you think it will help the dome not look so small?

I had precisely this issue with SithPlanet's ANH. Although Carsten and DarthVaderV were one of the first people to suggest dome repositioning as opposed to lengthening the flange, the problem with the Fyberdyne base (which SgtFang copied) is that the domecap is simply too small to afford proper room for proper dome repositioning. Adding length to the flange will create the same weird looking effect that used to be promoted on older Vader costuming websites.

The kind of surgery needed to involves hacking up the dome in several pieces to make it essentially larger, but not so large that it looks disproportionate. An example of a dome being too large is a Rubie's dome, which someone once tried pairing with the Sgt Fang faceplate, and it just didn't work out at all due to the faceplate's small size.

it may just be me....

Yeah, i did that, and the size difference was...well....ridiculous.....
