Helmet Reference pics with measurements.

Yeah. I'm working on a helmet and could do with some basic measurements. I am working off a motorcycle helmet, if it helps.

I feel nooby.

hmm... well, i can tell you that a motorcycle helmet is a little too large for most helmets. (unles you get a kid sized moto helmet)

give us a bit to dig up some stuff.

:agree:

A Motorcycle helmet is way large. Start with a BMX or Paintball helmet. They're smaller. ;-)

 

[Sohashu]

Ok. But, its just what I have lying around, and its fairly small, so I would refer to use it, as opposed to buying a new one. And its not a motocross helmet, its a riding around on a street bike helmet. And as you can see, im not that motorbike savvy. Its my dads.

so its a cycle helmet for 10 speeds?

 

[Sohashu]

Hmm. Taking another look at it, its actually quite huge. I'll find another helmet to base it off.

I need the measurements so I can scale it to fit me. When I make my cardboard base, I'll post up pictures.

All these questions make me feel really icky. I can't wash off the noob.

I say scrap the motorcycle helmet and use a baseball helmet , if at all.

yeah, baseball helmet is the way to go, I've seen a tutorial where a guy used a baseball helmet to make his armour helm, the end result was very impressive.
