Hey everybody. New to forum and

Hey everyone,
Well first thing first Ive been lurking around the boards for a while now and after reading up all that I can I decided to jump in and see what I can do. I started off with Flying Squirrels EOD helm. It turned out alright aside from being on the small side. Scaled for 24cm and it fits more like a mask than a helm. So I got the size test helm for Flying squirrels MC HD helm. That too turned out too small. While they look cool and all I think Im gonna finish the EOD but in a larger size. Not just large enough to wear but large enough to actually be considered a Helmet. I dont know how many of you have real Helmets (motorcycle, Army, etc) but they run on the large size. I mean they are supposed ot protect your head. Ill be starting the Pep tonight and if all goes well I should have some fiberglass done by monday.

here are some pics from my cell phone.

EOD before I aligned everything with the MC tester behind

MC tester on my spare "ride along" helmet. note how much smaller it is.

NOTE: FrizzleFry's scaling method does not work
everybody is finding their own way.

Firstly, welcome to the forums! You've been lurking for a while so you probably know all the shizz.

Secondly, nice job on those helmets. You could probably clean up your connections a bit, but it's just practice and it looks awesome so far.

Good luck on the rest of your build!

yea the connections are not the greatest. I did them kinda late at night. Also I dont mind too much since ill be doing most of the detail work in the bondo stage. Also since Im redoing them in a larger scale I can look at pep thats made, compare it to some reference pics, and determine how i want it to look and what parts should get more attention than others. (It also helps me see where I effed up. ) all in all i think it will work out for the better.

Ill post up pics of the updated, resized version as soon as i get it done.
