Okay here we go... This thread will detail my first attempt at making a prop helmet. The helmet is pretty much finished, but I am going to break up the process into several posts so that (hopefully) none of you lose the will to live while reading!
Lets start with what I used as my basis. A free pep file that I found lurking on the Interwebs!
Oh and if it sounds interesting please check out my partners and I combined cosplay page on Facebook. Thanks.

I also found some free software that allowed me to load and view the file and print out the template images. Good quality paper (200gsm) was used when I printed these off as I did not want them to deform when I would be cutting them out.
At this point I was not sure whether I was going to use the paper or craft foam sheets as the build material. And as I have never done this kind of thing before, I had no idea what was the right way to go.
