Dead Space Helmet Build

[Stegodon]

So This is my Dead Space Helmet, I Actually made it in only 2 days. Was a really simple build.

First off I went down to the local Goodwill and purchased a child's helmet, Stripped the paint and everything off. Fiberglassed the inside. used paper to line and bondo/fiberglass a longer portion to the back. Sanded and primers the entire thing. Then simply used different thickness's of foam to add the Front visor and all other pieces. Added some bolts for effects. Gave it a roughed up type paint job. Installed 3 El Tape LED's for the inside visor and Bam Bam all done

Super simple build for a great looking helmet. Hope you guys like it.

You can get it from alot of different sites. I like to use this one. Ellumiglow

U can buy it by the foot. easy to instal. runs on started AA or AAA battery packs. for the helmet i just used 3 1 foot tapes, wired them to a single battery pack. looks great.

Great Glow, are you going to do a spine piece to go with it?

 

[Kulf]
