I've seen some work with pepakura and craft foam patterns for the Dredd Helmet and thought I'd share an idea to convert to EVA foam.
Started with a pattern by DungBettle and Blaxmyth.
Printed out and taped, resized, printed out and taped again to get a suitable fit.
Then started cutting to use as a pattern.
Transferred to card stock.
Used the card stock as patterns to transfer to EVA foam.
Now have the basics to cut out, heat form and start on an EVA Dredd helmet.
The idea for this method came from Evil Ted's youtube tutorial on helmet building, but as I did not have a head bust, modifying premade pep pattern seemed a good way to go.
You may notice the top badge mount part is not showing. That will be added later using craft foam.
