Nice to meet you, Quinn. If you have an album of your work, I would like to see it. Here's some pics of my helmet so far. Faceplate is quite finished. It will probably need some more adjustments to fit with other pieces, but it's mostly done. (Finally learned how to use thumbnails)

Got home and took some measures of the opening. 13.3 cm at its widest point and about 28 cm long. So it is indeed narrow. Luckily, I've got a small head Started working with the EVA foam. All I have for now is the snout. I'll have to get creative to make the forehead piece and join it with the snout to make the faceplate. As I don't like the way it's done in the pepa.

Great! This means the design itself is quite tight to put on. I've been reading old posts and found some measures. I'll compare them to the pepa when I get home. In the mean time, I know this is a scout forum but I wanted to share with you my girlfriend's almost finished stormtrooper helmet. I think only the lenses are missing.

Ok, I'm creating my helmet almost from scratch so I got a pepakura model and I was able to finish it over the weekend. It is not screen accurate (not by a long shot), but I'm going to use it anyway as a pattern for an EVA foam helmet. The main issue that I have to correct is the fact that it does not open. The faceplate and the main body are a single piece, and the blinder is a separate piece. It is also a little too tight. I actually have to squeeze my head in. For the paper version this is ok, but the final version will be pretty rigid so I'll have to open it to put it on. For you guys with real scout helmets out there, can you put it on and take it off without opening it?

Keith, the one on the right looks awesome to me too. The bottle cap on the top is a little evident. I would modify it somehow but that's just me being picky. Bill, are those actual binoculars or a videogame? Anyway, I bet they will look great after you are done with them.
