This is how I scale EEVERYTHING I make.
Follow these steps and you should get a wearable piece of armor.
Make sure you have your head (or leg or etc) size.
1- take a ruler press it against your screen to measure the helmet's head area.... where your head should be. Make sure it's the skinniest part of the helmet where your head goes into. Most of the time I would measure the sides. Ear to ear.
2-divide that length with the whole entire size of your current project. Don't worry about the horn in the case of Fotus, as long as head fitment is correct the horn should work out itself.
Say my head capacity was 18cm... and the helmet was 20cm. divide 18 with 20 cm and I got 0.9. So 90% of the helmet houses my head, and 10% is decoration... for air vents and pipes for instance.
3- now measure your head, mine is 190mm from ear to ear... so add 10% of your head size and I got 209mm. So my helmet will be scaled to be 209mm wide, and 10% of that helmet will house my head.
What you're doing in my scaling process you are finding out how much of the armor holds your body... and scaling your pep model to match that capacity.
Don't worry about the horn, it should be up to scale after all this.
Helps? Yeah it took some head grease to work out
