Thanks so much Spry! Your words mean a lot! Sometimes the most simple custom with some good paint apps can be the most pleasing. I really did very minimal building on her aside from the extra holster and added wookie braids. In looking at my Rebel pilot figures, it seems there's a sort of "universal" size for these helmets and even the female pilots (the human ones) have slightly over-sized helmets. I think hasbro made a few molds and then just keeps reusing and repainting them for each figure. Some of the Snow Speeder pilot helmets are really wobbly. Like Dak. I hate that head/helmet combo (Dak TVC) it makes him look like a goof. The helmet I used for her build was a comic pack hobbie Klivan helmet, so it might be a bit big. I'm using the TVC Hoth Luke pilot helmet for the General, so we'll see how that goes. I thought of cutting the face plate off and gluing it in, but interestingly enough even the TVC Boba Fett helmet on its own (the smallest of the mando helmet sculpts aside from maybe montross, but I'd neeeeeeever use that one in a custom) looked a bit oversized on her body. Rav Bralor's (female mando) helmet is even bigger than the fett helmet. The fact that once the sides of the fett helmet are trimmed down and the targeting antenna is cut off it fits snugly into the rebel pilot helmet perfectly flush (on the same level) as the lowest points of each helmet goes to show how deep the pilot helmet is and how oversiized it would look without the mando helm inside it. I then put Fett's head inside the helmet, glued it in and then filled his head with some thin flashing (bits of plastic) to allow for the small female neck to hold and grip the helmet on. Without the full mando helm inside it'd sit too low. There's also the high collar of Deena Shan's body to take into account. It plays havoc on low sitting helmets and makes it look like her neck ends too soon. Really I think without a lot of major retooling it's the best solution. Besides I kinda like how bulbous it is. Reminds me of Salarian helmets in Mass Effect 2. I think it'll look better next to the male helmet once he's complete.
