Cutting the ear pieces out of the helmet

[wicket the famous]

Hi,

As I am new to the Pathfinders detachment and I have got my biker scout armour.  I am just curious as to how you  cut out the ear pieces in the helmet and would love to hear from anyone who can help with this.

Thanks in advance

Drill small holes around the perimeter, then snip between them to get the bulk of the material out of there....then carefully sand or file to shape the hole.

Greeny is correct. The only thing I would add is to trace the cut out pattern in pencil first. We can always take a look and offer any suggestions to your intended ear hole shape as well.

This is a resin bucket (not ABS)...but you get the idea.

Dremel's are your friend.  Either way, you'll do the last 1/4-1/8th of an inch with sandpaper.
