Thank you! This was my first large project like this, and there were definitely times when I got sidetracked too.

I scaled the helmet at 98.85% so that it would fit on the bed at 45⁰. The fit works for me with padding that is about 12mm thick. 100% scale probably would have been ideal to provide a little more airflow, but I wanted to avoid glueing and filling seams.
