I have always wanted to make a Green Ranger costume and now that I have been making costumes for awhile I feel that I have the skills to get at least a passable one done.
I first began by getting the Legacy Red Ranger helmet. This was the only helmet that I could Find that fit my head and I presented a new challenge for me. I began by using bondo:
I quickly realized that bondo wasn't working how I wanted it too. I did some research and found this stuff called epoxy sculpt. So I started to use that:
Once I got the basic shape down I began the process of sanding and filling:
Then I got it to a spot I think is good enough and painted and sealed it. I realize the teeth on the Green Ranger Helmet or different but this is good enough and I am hoping a legacy green ranger helmet comes out one day:

Now on to the shield, I made a few attempts at this and wound up with one that was way to big a not proportioned well. I finally got it to the shape and size I felt was right:
I was content to leave it like that but decided to add the ridges to it and I am extremely happy with the results:
Now to paint and seal it.
To do:
Boots
Store Bought:
Zentai suit
Gloves
Belt
Dagger holster
