Hi
RafalFett ,
Firstly, thank you for all your work on this. It's wonderfully detailed, and very inspiring!
I have a helmet which I built to your v2 plans. I'm thinking of repainting it using the ultra paint templates.
I've run into a problem getting one of the templates to fit. This also affects the older paint templates.
The problem is with the back left panel. Your v2 helmet build templates give a top length measurement of 146mm, and a total height at the keyslots of 110.5mm, with the keyslot cutout being 101mm tall: and a measurement of 117.5 tall at the ear. Both the actual templates and the accompanying diagrams show these measurements.
I have faithfully built to these measurements... but the paint template for this area doesn't fit.
If I scale it so that the top length of the paint template is 146mm, the template is too tall. If I make it fit the keyslots or the ear area, it doesn't stretch from one side to the other - falling short at about 140mm.
It's just this one template which doesn't fit - the rest all match to within a millimeter or two, which is tolerable for painting.
Which one is more accurate please? I'm guessing it's the (newer) paint templates but it never hurts to check!
