Home made aero helmet

I was thinking - it might be a good idea to have one blue lens and one red.

That way you'll see in actual 3D which would be wicked

Polka Dot, I laughed and was wrong to laugh. Just as they laughed at Albert Einstein (not sure if true), just as they laughed at Clive Sinclair (definitely true), just as they laugh at Wayne Hemmingway (true and justifiably so).

You inspired me to Google the words 'invention' and 'quote'. If nothing else, consider this a small success.

Morning picture:

More this evening.

is the beanie/bobble hat integral to the helmet?

Evening all,

More pictures coming up...

Don't worry about that green hat; all will be revealed.

These next pictures show the 'skeleton' getting wrapped with a skin.

I didn't really know what I was doing. I just cut up and folded strips of random journalism, saturated the strips with PVA and wrapped them on the frame. The main thing I tried to do was keep the thing smooth and the lines long and flowing.

I was pretty pleased with the progress.

Please excuse the untidy workspace.

How are you planning to keep it on your head? Webbing out of an old helmet or something?

I love that you still have a CRT monitor, fits right in with the whole steez.

To be honest he very probably just made a mistake. you're so pumped up trying to get your shit together and get out of transition ASAP it's easy to just whack that sucker on backwards.

Sort of...

You seem very knowledgeable on this, almost like you've done it yourself?

I confess thread is that way >>>>>>>>>>

Can't wait to see the final result though.

Looking forward to seeing photos of the aftermath

Here is an earlier attempt by someone else

sure this isn't some cat that's been over whelmed by Dim Sum?

@Polka Dot: if you can provide me with your geometry, I can run some CFD simulations for you. Sadly the only laser scanner I can get free access to is desktop sized. You're not a Borrower, are you?

If you send me the scanned mesh file I can mill it out of sikablock and vacform a hard shell over it... then we can start charging for CFD-approved custom aero helmets.
