Ok so the helmet itself is made of eva foam shaped by trial and error until I had a pattern for a one piece outline, then I just hot glued the edges to fit!
FOr the ear pieces I cut up an old coat I got from the goodwill and fitted the desired pattern together until I have the effect I was looking for. The strap was again removed from an old book bag and the leather was cut to cover the nylon straps. The wings were made from a stencil just sprayed in place and the battle damage was made using a wood burning art tool
Finally to shape the nose and back of the helmet I cut a cloths hanger into pieces and hot glued behind each section and bent into shape to hold a particular curve.
Side note; this pattern will will anyone with 20-22 inch head!
Any questions or criticisms, shout em out,thanks for looking
