Goldenrods LW build

[goldenrod]

After a lot of trimming and fitting-so to not over trim. And checking,double checking and triple checking on how it will all fit together, I got the visor and face glued together. Unfortunately i got a stress crack(an easy fix) in the visor while heating and shaping it to the face better. I still need to bondo the seams and sand the whole thing,trim the ears,lens area before priming. I may even trim more around the visor's perimeter. I'm taking my time because this is such a nice helmet and i feel it deserves the extra care and respect to build what LW has created for us. I think its coming along nicely. Had a little trouble with getting the visor and face fitting together but its all good now.

Awesome!

 

Man, those LW helmets are sweet. My only critique is that when viewing the helmet straight on the "ears" should be more visible. That said, I wish I could get my hands on one!

Looking good! I agree, I would take a touch more off the inside of the visor perimeter, and a hair off the top of the lens opening.

 

These lids are soooo sweet. They deserve a slow and steady hand. Nice work, Man!

 

Someday, an LW will be mine. Oh, yes.

Okay, its been a long while since I started working on my LW helmet. I pretty much had it put together but wasn't happy with the way I built it. The visor didn't look quite right to me so I carefully pulled it apart ,repositioned it and widened it. I think it looks better now. Pic coming!
