Above: D02: The D02 solved the problem of the joints and stress via vacuum forming over the cardboard. This resulted in several iterations due to the complexity of vacuum forming over such a complex surface and the plastic tending to burst upon reaching its maximum limit.
Taking a plaster mould of the head itself solved this by using that as a limit for the vacuum formed plastic. This model also largely solves the waterproofing aspect.
Problems
• Stress although lowered is still focused on the pivot points.
• Complex angle issue still exists.
• Difficult to assemble as the parts look alike.
• Base has to be flat giving the helmet a very bulky appeal.
