[Pledford]

So another question.
What about this? Should the bottom hang off when it's all together? If I raise it up then the top is not flush and could cause problems when raising the face mask.
Thoughts?

And...... Is it safe to assume that these bumps marked to drill the holes correct? In other words could I drill them and connect them and everything raise and lower properly?

Those are for drilling,but I'd do a little more dry fitting before drilling anything.  Also I've never put together a SC helmet before. I have all the others. Does the face plate at the top have a return edge?

Try and make the bottom as flush as you can, then work on fitting the top visor on to fit. You might need to trim a little but at the top of the face plate to get the right fit, but take it slow.

Nope. No return edge.
I may do a zoom meeting tonight as I work if from lks are interested in joining

Should I trim this part back?

Yes if its interfering with the visor opening and closing.

from top down, there's gonna be a gap, that's inevitable. Trim if needed to make it look right from front and sides, as that's the way most people will see it. I know when I built my KS helmet, I was worried about that gap cause my experiences were all with resin, one-piece helmets.

You may consider getting some nylon spacers (could just cut a slice of PVC pipe wide enough to let bolt pass thru) to hold the visor away from the dome a bit. The KS helmet has a raised bump on the dome part where the visor sits and the visor has an indent, basically making room for them to pivot without as much interference.
