Helmet Assembly (AKA: "Am I doing this right?")

[keys]

As the title suggests, asking for any opinions/pointers from the seasoned vets (as I stumble my way through this build!)

 

1) Is it normal for the face mask to pop a bit forwards? Should I perhaps create some sort of velcro attachment to keep it in place?

 

2) Do they eyes look to be the appropriate shape, or should I try to curve it a bit more at the top?

 

3) How snug does the visor need to be to the top of the lid? I know right now there's gaps large enough to park a car in there, I just worry about over trimming and making the visor too short off of the front.

 

4) Also, on the last photo, should the slight excess on the chin (red arrow) remain, be trimmed, or is it acceptable to give it a small return edge inwards?

 

 

(and yes, I still need to ABS paste the part where I connected the cap to the back of the helmet--- weekend project!)

 

 

 

 

Thank you!

You could sand the back middle part of the visor to get a better closure. Just take it easy and don't take much off. Lens area looks super nice. Your probably gonna have to live with a little gap in between the face and dome. My LW has a slight gap. Lastly I would sand the excess off the bottom of the face plate to keep both sides even.

As for the visor bolts. What are you using?

Thanks! Hoping to get this finished up by the weekend..

 

I was going to pick up the 3M bolts to replace the bolts sent in the kit -- haven't had time to run and pick them up yet though.

I'd try and find a pair of elevator bolts to bind the visor to the dome. Then take the 3M bolts and cut the back off and glue them to the elevator bolts heads. The 3M bolt are pretty weak and will snap in the middle very easy.

Ok! I think those may be the bolts SC included in the kit? I'll look this evening when I get home.
