Here are some shots of my W.I.P of the headphones for my Tank commander, I still have the box to make for the jacks, as well as the throat mike and bits to do with that so would like your comments on the work so far...

What I used, three sizes of plastic tubing...

Florists wire...

two thin strands of wire from a fine electiric cable....

Image

the earphone...

all glued togeter....

Close up of the wire going into the bottom of the headphone...

the cloth on the headphone "rails" is actually a piece of paper superglued on.

cheers guys, well I have scrapped that set, I wasn't impressed with them and I had another idea, using some of the same stuff and some new bits and bobs, so when I get a minute I'll post some piccies and tell you what changes I've made to the design.
