I have an Altmann helmet but the visor does not swing up very far and won't stay open. While this isn't a huge problem since I can still get the helmet on my head with ease, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a way to modify the helmet to get it to open correctly. Also, how do you attach the chin straps to the Altmann? I noticed that other helmets have slots along the inside "sideburn" where the straps feed through. My helmet is too thin in this area to have any slots. Do I just attach it on the inside of the helmet and call it a day? * ignore the unpainted bolts. The fist and second photos show the "sideburn" and how far the visor will open before it gets too tight. I'd rather not push any further and break something. The third photo shows where it's rubbing along the top when it's open all the way.

Can't wait.

I can't wait to start my build. This tutorial is spectacular and full of great mods.

I'm just starting out and I'm getting SC armor. This looks amazingly fun to build.

This was really helpful. I'm just starting out and I'm trying to read as much as I can before putting things together.

Thank you. I did check out that link before as well as a few other threads about helmet sizes, that's what led me to the realization that my head is a bit too long for the SC helmet. I even checked the SC site which gives their helmet dimensions along with what others have shared.

I was wondering the same thing about the Altmann's helmet. I have a long face and I was originally going to get an SC but it would look odd with my chin sticking out.
