1a11a1's first helmet (Hayabusa)

[1a11a1]

ok so hey guys this will be my thread following my progress on my first helmet which is the busa helmet. I started the pep today, finished the first page. Everyting worked well for the first part but there is someting I wanna know before starting page 2, should I build all part randomly or should I keep building around the chin???

tell me now if it look too small

its hard to tell but it looks like it is a good fit.

So far so good i am seeing some spots where the tabs need to be re-glued but like i said it looks good. and about the build i would recomend going page by page, the people who Unfolde these things usualy organize it so the construction flows easly.

atm I'm doing the paper visor and that thing is so hard but if I need to, I will restart this pep until it is perfect or near perfect.

EDIT: I need to force the paper a bit if I want to wear it,is it normal?

here the new pics, don't looks good

this one even worse

 

[Zero Prime]

Ya forcing paper is normal so I would not worry about it. what Busa file are you using?

I'm using forgeclaimer's file

EDIT: curently crushing what I did and changing my file for skupilkinson's file. :/

Keep your head up 1a11a1, its a learning process. Good luck on the build, i love the busa!

I pm'd you the best order to build the helmet, but starting from the top is your best bet

You want it to be a little big so you can pad it out and/or get it to fit around you're head.

its trail and error when it come to scaling but your off to a good start so far, keep up the good work!

Winter is coming, I'm back at it, currently cutting out new pieces for my second try.

still wondering how I'll fill the spike with my low budget
