goldenrod Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 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. Feedback welcome! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobaben Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 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!

stasz Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenrod Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
