Here's what I did:

I followed Xtreme Tactics' first method of scaling (check it, man) and scaled my helmet from there, discovering it was too small for my big head.
So, I added to the scale factor, to adjust by how much I thought it would need.
Easy way to save time is to first put together the bottom rim. If it fits around your head, it'll fit when complete. If not, trim. If no amount of trimming makes it fit, scale up.

dude i got the same problem when i started ...the easy way to do that is measure your head whit a string or ruler... measure the lower point(shin) to the highest point i will post one image follow like this...i used that and my helmet size is very good!!
