Wow! a lot of members spent a lot of time and energy explaining some basic things to this guy.
1. Casting a helmet is costly and difficult.
2. Recasting is for rebel scum only. Don't do it. Ever.
Conclusion
This guy is looking for the path of least resistance. Otherwise he would have done his own homework instead of asking us to do it for him.
Every post starts with... How do I.....?
I see a pattern.

I believe moldmaking silicone and casting resin is cheaper where I'm from because we have a lot of generic stuff. I'm gonna do some calculation here to see what the best option would be. Thank you to Bookface for giving me a sense of the amounts needed!
Although recasting a bucket is anti-creativity (which in my case I'm not 100% on since I'm gonna mod it extensively after), I don't see any ethical problems with it seeing as I won't sell it anyway and just use it for props.

do you honestly think you could compete on cost with some mass production factory in China?
