I'm still bummed out that I messed up on the eye area though.  The eye on the left side looks more rounded compared to the other eye, which has more of a sharper looking corner....
Not too sure if that's still viable for having a "rounder" eye look.....

Hi, Some close photos would be preferable, here are a couple of reference photos so you can have an idea how the ayes looks like.

I feel the right eye is too rounded ....

Hi, I think you can try trimming a little more , to get the shape from the reference photos . What I would do is trim litle and compare, a little again and compare.    cheers

When in doubt check out the gallery section.

Finally got me a set of rare earth magnets.  Should suffice to give me a brief idea of how the helm will look when I put the face and cap together. 

Face - Front -1

Face - Side - 1 (Note: the Brow area still needs to be even out a bit so I am still working on some trimming.)

Face - Side - 2

My only dilemma is trying to figure out if I can still wear my prescription glasses underneath the helm.

looking good  so far.  .

** Another Update **

Whew took me awhile to set aside some time and install the ear pieces.  Imho, that was the more difficult ones to to fit >.>

This is what they look like now


Head - Front - 1


Head - Side - 1


Head - Side - 2


Head - Back - 1

Ill be honest, I feel like I still need to try to fit the ear pieces properly since it shows how "ooof" they are in the back.
I'm still pondering how I can get around fitting the back ear pieces properly...

Just curious also.  I am looking at a couple of helmet examples for stunts, and from your guys' perspective, should i trim the ears a little further? Also is the placement of the ears fine so far, or should i do some more adjustment to it?

[PhilBobTheFish]

For the sizing of your ears, I'm not so sure. That's more up to you, but I'll leave it to others to advise you in any way there.

 

As for the placement, there are some things you can do for it to be more screen accurate. Those helmets had the ear screws aligned with the front traps, and your left ear is fairly spot on, the right one should be aligned to match though.

Rowan is 100% correct on the ear screws aligning with the back angle of the trap.  It doesn't have to be perfect, but as he mentioned the right one needs some tweaking.  The gaps you have are fine, so don't worry about those.

Hiya,

Yes, the main discs of the ears still look a little thick. Personally, I’d consider trimming them down. Just from the pictures, and purely as an estimation, I’d be tempted to consider reducing the thickness of the discs by at least a third. (Only an estimate by eye-balling it).



As another trooper also mentioned, the right ear alignment could be adjusted to better match the rear line of the trap.

It's always a relief feeling when the cavalry arrives       @justjoseph63 @CableGuy
