Joker Red Hood

Hi kids,

Just out of curiosity, has anybody sucessfully created a Red Hood helmet similar to the one Joker originally wore or the one Jason Todd wore recently?

It seems to just be a red dome - reminds me of Mysterio sort of - could be some kind of reinforced glass with a red one way mirror film stuck over it?

I am definitely interested in having a go at this helmet, I have some ideas even -

You can get a glass dome on ebay...

And I found a link for a red one way glass film

Don't know how well the film would work and it would be difficult to apply to a dome shape without several seams...

I also had a look into shatterproof glass films to reinforce the helmet... Just a thought, I have no idea if it would work at all. Maybe if both sides of the glass were covered?

Let me know what ya'll think and how I could go about some of the things that need doing.

Cheers

Just doing some quick research on ebay and there are several plastic domes like these is what I would use.

I never thought to look for a plastic dome but when I posted this it was about 1am NZ time. Any thoughts on applying the red window tint to a dome? I'm not a fan of that obvious square where the eyes are, I would like my helmet to be as even and seamless as possible..

Also by Jason Todd I mean his newer 'Superhero' costume he wore in Batman and Robin. He wore a dome and cape, similar to Jokers, and a black little jump suit thing with gloves and boots and a skull emblem on his chest.

It's going to be hard to do that in the real world. The only ways I can think of is what I've described but you will still be able to see inside the dome from the outside.

Not sure how to make the dome completely one way visible. Either vacuum forming with a red acrylic sheet (but you will still be able to see your face from the outside)

Or painting a pastic dome w/ red tail light paint (but you will still be able to see your face from the outside)

The metallic one way window tint is ideal but will not form that great to a round dome shaped object. It is meant for flat objects. It would be very difficult to apply without seeing overlaping sections, rinkles or seams.

That's why I also said that you could find a metallic red paint similar to the one way window tint and paint the dome but cut out a eye section (covering that in the tint) and try and seem them together.
