Hi guys,
here I#m gonna post pics of my helmet. It's the second one I'm trying because the first one was ****. Now I'm using Rafalfetts template and I have to admit that these are easy to work with.
Enough said now some pic's:
This was my helmet todays morning

The build looks great so far! If you have questions or you're stuck at some point, just let me/us know and will help gladly.
 
Samkrow you were right. It is really easy to make quick mistakes. :/
It is not the worst mistake but I started with the first-left slice ....

It would be very nice if you could help me with my slice problem.

What I can't tell from your images is if you have cut too much from the middle of each of the dome support sections or not. It seems that your dome sits lower than it should, especially the front part looks a bit flat, but maybe the images are distorting the dome. You could cut the lower part of the dome slice (from the image where you are holding that piece with your finger) until it fits in the dome.
 
Today I recieved a packet wich contained my rangefinder stalk :D

Yesterday I finished the dome part and I will start fiberglassing and bondoing hopefully this week :D

So, last week wasnt as productive as I thought. I did nothing because I was toying around with my 3d-printer which arrived last monday :D
Today I managed to cut my keyholes with my laser cutter, because I tried 5 times cutting it by hand and failed always.

This is what it looks like right now.
