Following the enthustiastic respose to what I have shared with you, I think it is probably time to dust it off and either actually get into time trialing or raffle it off or donate it to a poor time trialist with the same shape head as me.
This project involved a few firsts for me. It was the first time I made something out of papier-mâché (I probably did something in primary school, but I don't remember it), it was the first time I did any spray painting and it was the first time I made a personal injury claim. The papier-mâché I was pretty pleased with, the painting I am extremely pleased with and the claim although I would rather have not had to learn about this was succesful. Before I started this thread I thought any second helmet would be made in a similar way, but with fibre-glass. I haven't used that before and fancy having a go. However this would be even more of a problem than the spray painting; I don't fancy having resin fumes and glass dust in the same room as my bed. One suggestion I think quite sensible is vacuum forming, probably using ABS plastic. I have no doubt of the effecacy of the helmet and I believe this to be the result of four main things: the sheer length of the tail, the absense of any vents, the enclosed underside and not having any padding and thus a frontal profile not much wider than the head.
Although I didn't build into the helmet any saftey aspect I like to think that in those moments when I was in the air I was thinking 'Oh no, my helmet. After all that time and effort...' and that somehow this made me do something to protect the helmet and thus my head.
