Hello everyone,
in December I got 4 weeks of vacation and wanted to continue the project I started in the summer of this year: to build a Halo Reach helmet.
As Pepakura model I choose the following file from Chernobyl:

After the helmet I build in summer I learned that I maybe should scale the model before I start printing and sticking it together (I learned it exactly at the moment I wanted to put the helmet on my skull:cry).
With the measurement tool of Pepakura I choose the measurements of the helmet so the opening of the helmet fits on my head. First, I checked that the helmet fits from ear to ear, then I checked the helmet fits from my nose to the backside of my head. The good thing after the last step is: I don’t have to fear that the helmet doesn’t fit from ear to ear or that there can be troubles with the height of the helmet, but the result is a real huge helmet (Not to say a monumental helmet). The depth of the helmet is almost 50cm.
Now I don´t know if I got such a large skull or I did something terrible wrong.
It would be wonderful if someone could tell me, that he got such a large skull and a huge helmet too or what I did wrong.
Thank you in advance!
Lucas
