Sorry to hear of Dans recent passing, a guy with a lot of passion and practical knowledge, a great loss to the SW community. RIP bro.

Hey Dan, once again, an outstanding piece of detailed work. Really a 'tour de force' of detail, precision and knowledge. I have to ask you, any plans to add the chestbox and hoses? In all honesty, I'm tempted to contact Ross and order them up to add to my helmet build.

Hi John,
That’s very kind. Thank you. 🙏
If I had more room, I’d love to make it into a bust. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of space to display much (just a couple of helmets in the cinema room) so I’ll have to keep it to lid only at the moment. However, long term, I would like to have a troop-ready Pilot, so at some point the chest box and hoses will be a must.
Thanks again for your lovely feedback on the videos. Means a lot. 🙏☺️
