That depends, is this a size tester you're making?Kaizer said:
IDK how big the scout is when you build it, but you shouldn't trust scale number as a good unit of measure for how big it will be.
All helmet models I've seen used a different method for scaling, but all files do support one thing:
under that same menu it shows you how tall it will be in inches (as well as other dimensions).
Besides, IDK how big your head is, so IDK if that's a good scale.
So here's what I would do:
Measure noggin, put that in there (as a tester) and see how good it fits.
Make any necessary adjustments and make a final pep.
IMHO.

By horizontal I mean if you had a top down pic of the helmet, with the visor facing the top of your screen it would be the part facing the sides.
That's the best I can explain it.
That's height versus width?
That does seem large.
Here, try and measure the heigth of your face.
Add in like, an extra inch for room, and try that.
It should be less than that (31.9... or was it 27.8?) which if it is, it'll prolly be closer to your size.
IDK, I wish some one else would give us their take.
It's good to have more than one opinion on this sort of thing.

ok SO. heres what i did. I measured from ear to ear and i got 14 inchs. and i converted it
14 inches =>
35.6 centimeters
356 millimeters
My whole head
25 inches =>
63.5 centimeters
635 millimeters
Height of my face.
10 inches =>
25.4 centimeters
254 millimeters
so i can go in and id add... 3-4 more inches to those and convert them
EDIT
with the 14 inches the peices of the helmet come out HUGE... and wont fit on the paper.. Sooooooo.. dont know about that
lol..

how can your head be freaking 14 inches ear to ear?! did u mean the diameter from ear to ear around your head?
i take the tip of the measuring take and pull it to the other side of my ear.reactor beam said:

alright, according to calculator the original width of the helmet was 10 inches.
Didn't you say it was huge?
A height less than ten inches (off the top of my head) sounds pretty small.
IDK, I'm probably messing you up with this post...
umm, you said the first one you made was huge, right?
Do you have any pics (preferably with you wearing it)?
I'm not really getting frustrated, although I'm kind of a noob at this myself, I'm really just repeating what I've heard around the site.
In fact, I made a post in that scaling thread and I think it was belakor made a post that really helped, tho that was a couple months ago and I'm still not done (It's more cause I just stopped than anything. I'm a start back up tonight tho).
I'll see if I can find it and edit my post.
EDIT:
Found it. Basically what I said, but it should be more accurate because he's measuring support flaps.
If the scout helmet has any supports, try changing it so the size of that support matches the size of your head.
Here, just do what it says here:
