Biker Scout Helmet Build

Post by Paul K » Sun Sep 14, 2008 12:12 am

Let's start with the lens. Usually comes flat, pre-cut.
Image

Using a hairdryer, you bend it to conform to your helmet curve.
Image
Image

With a bit of finesse, you can get it to contour your helmet nicely and it'll sit perfectly without needing any force to hold it in place.
Image
Image

Flash test to make sure it's dark enough.
Image

Onto the snout area. Get a piece of ABS and cut it to fit the inside space.
Image
Image

These are the components for the snout detail. I didn't like the resin aerator so I cut it off and used a metal version instead.
Image

Minus the resin aerator for fitting after drmelling the curve to fit the metal piece.
Image

Next was figuring how to fix the aerator to the snout so after hunting through the plumbing parts, I found a part that would work.
Image

Break out the drill and cut through the plastic and also through the helmet.
Image
Image

Dry fit of the components from the side.
Image

Plate goes on.
Image

Rear view.
Image

Screw on the aerator.
Image

Fitting on the helmet. I left the plate long so that any adjustments, up or down, I would still have material to fudge with.
Image

A bit too much detail for such a small part, but it is the front piece so I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. With a hole in the front, you can either add a fan or a micro speaker for voice amp. Painting will be next.

Better for single comprehensive threads to be stickied. Else too many threads will be stickied if every costume gets a thread for different parts of it.

My second Scout helmet build. I think that's it. Unless this one breaks, I'm not doing another TB bucket for the time being.
