Help with Bioshock 2 Big Sister helmet

[ZOMBIEREPELLENT]

Hey guys, a friend of mine was asking if I could help her with a Big Sister costume from Bioshock 2. I REALLY don't want to mold it and cast one. I have a 14" acrylic sphere that I want to use to make it. My only problem is that I need to make it look like it was hammered and whatnot, hammered paint just wont do. I'm afraid if I use epoxy putty, atleast all the kinds I've used, is that it will be too irregular. Any advice anyone could give would be GREATLY appreciated.

what about heating it up and making "dimples" around the surface?

I thought of that, I'm just afraid of warping a large section of it.

What about using a dremel and round grinding bit.

Try using a soldering iron on low heat to dent a small section - you may be able to keep the heat localized enough not to warp the whole thing.

that's what I was thinking, but maybe use something with a larger surface area

Those are good ideas. I'll pick up a sheet of acrylic, test it out on that and let you guys know how it works out.
