Here's the second left forearm I mentioned. It's the female model by Halogodess, who has done a great job unfolding the thing!
It certainly looks a lot better than the first one, but unfortunately it doesn't fit around my wrist (and I mean it doesn't fit around, not that I can't get in, which I can't either). Maybe I'll come back to the clamshell-idea I once had. Picture below.
I also quickly tested the helmet's fit after removing the last struts that were still in the way and it seems a little large. I'll wait until I have my chest ready to have a look at how the complete picture looks before I go on with it, just to be safe. The good news is that I can put it on while wearing my (filterless) respirator, so this ridiculous respirator-anti-fogging-idea might come to life after all :-D
After all the frustration with the pieces' sizes I felt like starting a rifle (ambiguity intended ;-)). It'll probably get a thread of its own soon.
Other news: I accidentally (!) made my first cast when I epoxied my helmet.
Pictures: Two left arms, my first cast (the cup standing upright is the real one) and my current thoughts on size.
