Any suggestions on how to post some pictures on the forum without the link showing?

If you have tapatalk you can drop images into the post as you write it. That's what I use and it makes it a lot easier.

You can upload directly to the forums or you can use imgur for hosting. They provide a direct link to the file. I was able to open your links to see the files, but imgur would give you a link so you can embed them directly in your posts.

Nm, one link opened

Ok, back again after another long time. I've secured some portions of the helmet but I'm having trouble trying to align properly the aides of the helmet. Please help!

looks like the visor is too much under tension ...try to solve it gently with the hot air blower ...the helmet maker lone wolf is making a cut at the chin area to release the tension on the visor part.

 

This is a link to the assembly of a Lone Wolf helmet from a good buddy of mine, unfortunately it is in german. but may be it helps. especially page 5 and page 13/14 ar about the chin and the neccessary adjustment so the visor will sit proparly.

let me see what I can translate for you

[furiosa[TX]]

this is the translation from page 5

Now comes the difficult part ... the visor and the mask

,

The mask must be heated at the bottom of the chin area, otherwise the jaws do not match the dome at the bottom ... because the mask is deeply drawn, the mask is too wide at the bottom of the jaws.

Do not worry ... slowly and carefully warm up with the hot air dryer and put down on the cheeks together

to press. After the desired result with cold water 'quench' ... thus the plastic can not

More in its previous form and remains in the position in which we want to have it.

Then you have to adjust the visor to the mask.

Fix the visor parts to the mask with clips and allow them to overlap at the top, and after approx

Mark the accuracy of the fit with a pen.

On the sides the line on the mask must be drawn so that it forms a line with the visor

 

As soon as the desired result is obtained, the sight pieces are trimmed and, after approaching the optimum pass accuracy, glued with one (here I used gaffer tape) the adhesive tape roughly to fit the visor with the mask to the cathedral

Thanks!

I'll look into it!

We remember

... at the mask we had to mold the chin area at the beginning, so that the

Cheeks will fit with your dome. Since the chin area is deformed by our

we do not get a reasonable conclusion or a straight surface, we must

rework. I did this with fiberglass. I have cut a glass fiber mat,

Glued in place and hardened after curing and the deformed, superfluous primary material on the

Chin area of ​​the mask removed ... also this can be done best with the Dremel ... and to good

Finally plan the surface using a circular grinder (or a grinding block). After that the

Chin area spatted and sanded. This creates a new chin area and you can see from the

Deformation nothing more

Helmet is almost done. There are some little details to cover but I think it's coming along fine. Foam was installed inside with no fans installed yet. I hope to install them layer.
