I started my newest project and I'm learning alot ! This is a different kind of weathering than I did on my Boba Fett costume. The Bio helmet is coming along nice, I'm building a module with 3 laser pointer pieces in it and wired to a small battery pack/switch to run down into my pocket. Soon I will be making the dreads to go with it, but without making the whole mask, I need ideas on how to wear them.
My friend started me off with an awesome pepakura build which I put a few coats of resin on

I reinforced the whole interior with fiberglass mat which made it really strong

I then sanded off the edges where the paper joined and marked off the high and low spots for easy reference

Using a little bondo and spot putty I was able to get the shape I wanted

I used automotive filler primer to help smooth it out some

I then painted it "stainless steel" and weathered it with black and silver spray paint, mottled onto the helmet with torn up sponges.
