TK82187 WTF TB Build

Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I've been VERY slowly working on my TB kit and have made some decent progress on completing the bucket. Chopper has been a huge help but any extra feedback would be appreciated!

It's still looks pretty rough at this point but I see it coming together pretty well.  Definitely needs more trimming around the visor edging and lens hole.  

Keep at it, trooper!

Yeah, I'm working on getting the back side of the bucket finished so I can work on fitting the visor and face mask afterward. They're roughly trimmed at the moment but I need to make sure I get the measurements right on visor opening.

Oh yes....the good old biker helmet assembling 🙈

The trick is....time. Take your time at the assembling for this helmet. The most horrible part is to assembling the visor with the mask and and then bring into line with the dome. Here's a link to our puplic forum were I have made a tutorial of this helmet- build ( I should finally do the same for here 🙄 ....) --->>

Maybe this is a help for you. Ok, the text is in german, but pictures says more than 1000 words, eh.

Edit: Here's a good translator--->>

That helmet guide is hugely helpful. Is there any place I can find the measurements needed for the visor trim? I want to make sure I trim enough to make it as close to accurate as I can.

Hey Tynan,

there's no really "standard" measurements for trimming the visor- return edges. What can I show you are the measurements of my LoneWolf helmet--->>

But like I has wrote...it's a Lone Wolf bucket, not a WTF helmet. For the "approximate dimensions" I have used the reference pics from this website....to reach the approximate dimensions--->>

Hope this helps a lot :)
