On the Oota bucket I was building Oota suggested a 40mm distance between between the eyes - does that sound about right Oota?

Excellent info guys - thank you very much!!. I did take a bit more over all last night. Will check the measurement and go for to 42-40mm gap - will provide a pic for feed back after its done.

Many thanks again!

Ok sports fans..... About a 43 mm gap between the eyes. There is not too much left before I start cutting into the highest point of the " nose" so to speak.

What ya think?

Well, here it is, the first full donning of one Oota #017 TK and Oota helmet. Any comments or suggestions are welcome, I want to get it right before submitting my application to the Academy this season.........I mean going for approval!

I did notice is that I need to bend the shoulder straps down and cut down the length of the forearms, I found it difficult to put the helmet on.... And the Thermal detonator needs to be centralised.

Cheers
