Well,since this was posted I ave tried the bike helmet.Its not gonna work.Ive decided to go the labour intensive route and use the template.
Looking good so far!Originally Posted by TreppFett
It's better way to go with the dome templates. Just be careful with the top part of the slices when you cut them. You can then glue them together as I did... or the way as others did. I just glued each slice together with paper strips and it turned out really well.
Keep up the good work.
Respect!

Well I built the dome(on the left)and after it was glassed inside and bondo on the out,it would not sit properly on the main part of the helmet.I cut off the cross hatched area of the template before glass and bondo.
I have decided to build another dome and leave the cross hatched area there until both parts are glassed.Then bondo and spot putty both.
Lookin good so far!
Whats crazzy kids carpet? looking good and the bondo dome doesnt look bad you just have to keep at it the dome is always a dificult part when scratching
Crazy carpet is something kids use to slide down a snow covered hill on.its carpet like with to holes in it so you can hang on for dear life.
I rode one down some stairs when i was a kid,it wasnt pretty
This is my 3rd attempt at this scatch build the first were failures due to issues with the dome or inexperience working with fiberglass.I think I have it down now.
I used a couple of buckets for the main part of the helmet and some crazy carpet for the cheek bones not sure what im gonna do the cheeks with yet Im sure I will find some thing
Im trying to this with a little cost as possible.

Use some more crassy carpet on the lower cheeks , it seems to work else were and you most have an exes left over the look rather large,
Any in a few days youl have mail;
Is that a tiger in the back ground?
Ya I do have a bit of the crazy carpet left i most likely use it for the cheeks.
Im hoping the mail man isnt to slow my J-Lid.
It not a tiger its a tiger blanket over a chair to keep cat hair offa the chair
