I think he's 5"7'. But with a helmet on you'll be fine. Maybe play around with the amount of padding. Guy is known for not having too much of a neck haha.

Back with an update. So i have over all bad news but ill leave that at the end.
So i molded the ear piece and glued in place and did some small spot putty work. Now prepping for silicone is underway
I then wet sanded the helmet using different sandpapers 400 grit- 2000 grit. I then painted the helmet in a glossy black
So now the silicone. The usually routine layers of then rubber and 2 layers of thickened rubber.
Then the last stage of mold making. The mold shell. I first used fiber glass until i ran out so i used smooth ons plasti paste which i dont know why i didnt use it in the first place. Once it cured i demolded the helmet and started casting
Anndd it was a failure... The half of the thickened silicone didnt fully cure cause i added to much of the thickening agent thi-vex. So the silicone rubber wrinks to much. Impossible to pull a good cast... The only thing i can do now it do ALOT! Of bondo work do really make it not a piece of ****. But luckily the master is still intact so in the future ill remold it again but better
Soooo here we go. I cut out the visor and did some trimming
And now its half covered in bondo. Tomorrow ill be doing for bondo filling and going to salvage a visor for the visor vacuum mold

Update time!
I started working on a visor vacuum mold so i cut out a visor and filled it with foam. since the visor is well ****ty i spent all day sanding and filling stoping at around 4 passes of bondo. One more pass and it should be perfect

Vacuum formed some test visor. I used petg sheet but it was too thin and was to small of a sheet to it wasn't air tight on vacuum table. But pretty good for tests
