Strider v2 Bikerscout Helmet

[Strider]

I've already introduced my latest helmet upgrade in my armor thread a few weeks ago but have since then improved some parts of the assembly (which can make a huge difference for every bikerscout helmet no matter which maker) together with some better pics so I thought I share it again.

 

Recently somebody called me a "scout connoisseur" which I found a bit funny and true at the same time. To me getting closer to the original armor is not just a nerdish endevour but also an creative challenge which I like in similiar way as other people solve puzzles or brainteaser tasks. With the current helmet I feel I'm about 96% percent close to the goal of the ultimate screen accurate helmet. It's funny; I've probably assembled more than 15 helmets so far but it still poses a challenge to get every detail exactly right. The tricky part is that the different pieces do not link together like pieces of a puzzle but are roughly attatched in a specific area. But: If you attatch it even slightly different then the last time it will influence the fit of all other parts. On the upside even if you've made a mistake by not optimally placing one part you may compensate for this by adjusting the adjacent parts.

 

Long story short - here's the helmet, enjoy ;-)
