KS helmet help

[Fistful of Energon]

ok, I have been working on my KS helmet with what little free time I have and this is where I currently am. I welcome any feedback.

 

I have a little sanding left to do but i think im pretty close to being able to start gluing. my biggest challenge at this point is figuring out how to piece it together. the top and back side of the helmet looks self explanatory but the visor and faceplate has me a little stumped and I dont want to make a mistake. any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated

In a nut shell...the main back part is the "outer portion". The dome fits inside that part (or should). Then, the visor should be attached, or glued, to the sides of the faceplate. The bolts go through the outer visor and faceplate holes and attach to the "inner" dome part. Yours looks pretty good...I would trim the front visor portion a little more though, follow the lines of the forming.

 

Sounds like fun, eh?! It's really not that bad if your parts are trim and fit well.

 

Here's a few snaps of mine, if it helps.

yea, I see now that the visor needs more work. Here are some mock up pics of how it looks to best fit to me. Feedback is encouraged! thanks!

It looks like you've got it. Before you put it all together, I'd cut the ear holes out. It'll be much easier before it's all assembled.

Yeah, the KS can be a little tricky. But it looks like Jim is showing you the way.

I did some more cutting and sanding today and managed to get the back and the top glued together. We used zap a gap and its held like a rock.

Cool, just take it slow and easy. I'm sure your helmet will look awesome when completed!

I will, I think I work a little too slow and careful for the guy who is helping me patience, lol.
