bpoodoo Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looking good. At this point would also be a good to have an idea of where you will want the ears to go. I often pick a movie helmet with similar assembly positioning and use that as a reference. How far back, how far up, how much rotation. Main reasons for doing it now is to be sure the holes you drill will be hidden by the ear, and if using rivets first, to be sure they don't overlap where the ear screws will likely go. You will want to be sure the ear is positioned low enough to curve all the way around to the bottom of the tube to cover up any discontinuity where the front and back halves of the helmet meet there. Hope that made sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anonymous Egyptian Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 So I got the helmet screwed together; And now, after what seemed like a forever of trimming my ears, I've got them attached to the helmet and screwed to it. Additionally, for the perceptive of you, I have attached the Hovi Mic tips! So now, I think my helmet is nearly done. I shall proceed to painting, applying the decals and attaching the lens. !!
