Hey guys!
This is my second costume build and the first one I've gotten the courage to document and post. I made a foam Shepard costume for halloween last year and I wanted to add a visor to it before I take it out to the Fan Expo next week (I can't believe it's next week already, I need to stop doing this stuff last minute).
After looking at all the different visors, I decided to do my own interpretation that's sort of a combination of the Kuwashii and sentry visors.
I started with a foam mockup
I've never worked with styrene before, but I thought stacking layers of it would be a good way to tackle this build. This is mostly laser cut 2mm styrene and some thinner bits I cut by hand. I also laser cut the acrylic for the eye piece.. this blue edge glow stuff looks pretty sweet (just not in this photo)
Next up is to heat form the styrene and get the electronics in there. More progress coming soon. Really soon since I have less than a week left
