Hello everyone. For Anime Expo 2017 I'm going as the White Ranger (MMPR). I have a few questions about constructing said helmet.
1) I'm going to use hot glue to glue the pieces of the helmet together. However, hot glue can get messy, and can bleed out, making it very obvious and ruining the effect. My question is what is the best way to minimize this and get clean joining, since there are a few places to cut for ease of folding. My current method right now is to use some blue tape to hold it together and prevent that effect. So far on a few tests it seems to work.
2) What is the best way to be able to put on the helmet? I want to have it be a sort of two piece helmet and use latches or something similar to hold the front and back together when I want to wear it.
Thank your for your help.
Also, a picture for reference:
