Hello there!
I'm looking for some possible help with creating a Vashta Nerada helmet (from Doctor Who).
I could most likely make this myself with no issues, but I'd like a bit of insight on what type of materials to use and whatnot... and possibly wanted some help finding a base I can modify to create this beauty.
Here's a picture:

The blue LEDs on the actual inside of the unit are no problem, and neither is the skull mask or suit, but the helmet is proving to be an issue. I think I MAY have found a good base, but I'm not so sure... check it out HERE: Kids Childrens Spaceman Space Astronaut Helmet Costume Accessory Halloween | eBay
My plan as of right now is to purchase this helmet, modify it by removing the visor, replacing it with a new inner visor like the actual helmet has, and grooving down the hole to give it that curve, while making the actual visor hole a bit larger on the top and such.
What would you guys suggest I do for the bottom part though? It'll all be connected some how (I want the blue LEDs to be ran from one switch.)
Thanks!
