I was inspired by the work done of the DOCTOR using BMX bike helmet as foundation build for Judge Dredd 3D helmet and took a chance to build my own with increased accuracy based on the movie...

Original thread from the DOCTOR : http://www.therpf.com/f9/surprise-project-judge-dredd-helmet-155724/

The project started from this :

The next step is to form the side walls using carton paper:

Next step is to form the top badge and get closer to the movie form :

Looks a little closer to the target form :)
 
Re: Judge Dredd 3D 2012 Helmet Build

After the pre-form, I found the carton to be too weak and added acrylic (face shield) which I bought from the mall to reinforce the side walls....

Cutting them to form :

Then temporarily installing them as support :

Next step... check the form as compared to the movie :)
