lonewolf Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 My latest Biker Scout helmet is finally finished, the joint line is visible deliberately on this build. I think it looks more accurate. The visor curve is reduced slightly, the nose a bit stumpier and a few other tweaks. Sorry I have none available. 5
ukscout Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 John, outstanding work matey seriously want one of these instead of the upcoming EFX lid
kabuto Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 The interiors are clean and nicely done.. Awsome build!!!
lonewolf Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks guys, yes sorry it seems a bit of a tease, I was just happy with this lid and thought I would share some pics with my Biker Scout friends.

Grendel_Blitz Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 When you do a run, I would consider picking one up. Great, great, great work LW! \m/
TB-7076 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 You already know I love your stuff John, now please ease my pain and relieve me from my DP curse = me wants!!!!!
Too Much Garlic Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 WOW, this really turned out great. Looking really awesome. 1
Grendel_Blitz Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Quick question - are the LW's as big as the Altmann's? I have issue with my MLCv3 and my mystery recast as when I put the liner in (not a fan of foam), I bearly have room for me "giant HEED". ("Looks like an orange on a toothpick...") If these are larger, now I would really be in the market to build one. \m/ 1
TB-7076 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 The MLc has issues due to the fact it is based on the DP which is quite smaller (youth size) though still a bit bigger than the DP at least outside. Inside there is a problem due to the material strength. Don't know of the mystery helmet?! Most fan based helmets are within the size of the DP as they are either inspired or casted from these. I know an attempt to cast the DP deluxe (~25 produced/shipped) unfortunately failed due to the retreat of the helmet donor - I think that fiber glas based helmet could have had the original size. I only saw an altmans once but I think it is not much bigger than the DP but I'm not sure. The LW helmet however should be of almost the same size like the original bucket as John crosschecked with his altered south-american helmet and the tour bucket that came with the star wars in concert tour 2 years ago and we know from pictures that the 3M liner fits there. I can just hope that this fine product is accessable for us at some point. PS: Matt - maybe you can showcase your collection especially that mystery helmet recast in an own thread? I'm interested to see that.

Hey there Philipp. thanks for the info. I plan to take and post pictures when my Altamnn's is picked up on Saturday as it is coming from Austrailia (finally after all these years, I have found another). I will take comparison pics of my MLCv3, the recast (which is slight different although I have also reworked it a great deal) and the Altmann's. When I had an Altamnn's year ago, I had no issue fitting it on my head with the 3M liner. Plenty of wiggle room too.
