Helmet Construction - So Far


Recommended Posts

Well I finally started on the helmet and I've run into only a few minor issues. I was just hoping to get some feedback so far.

I'm not sure how clearly you can see it in the pics, but my biggest issue is the earcaps. I tried to reshape them, but no luck there.

How did you try reshape them? did you heat them up?, also will you be altering the holes in the frown anymore?

 

I tried to reshape them by putting them into some boiling water. Didn't work all that well. I will be riveting them to the bottom of the helmets and that should help the problem. I can hold them in place and they look good.

 

I cut a hole in the front for improved airflow, I also cut slits into the mouthpiece as well. I haven't yet decided on a sound system, but if need be I can put a speaker into that hole.

 

I do need to put a 4th hole to match the Stunt Helmet and I need to clean up the holes I've already cut.
