# Liftable visor papier mache helmet
pasticine sculpt for plaster mold then papier mache from mold

still got to age it a bit with oil paint n'shit

more craft shenanigans on theArt/ mask making site

some more prototypes in pipeline (selling them for £20 when I get the production line going (me getting the time!)- 10 for the faceplate and 10 for the helmet - but all the different face plates can be used with the same helmet)

# you sound like a lady that knows her video nasties
I had a go with a goblin one but it went tits up at the moldmaking stage (I put the nose bridge too far down)

# you got me googlin again
I did have a go with something similar to that
clayed.blogspot.com/2011/02/venician-mask-making-attempt-plasticine.html
but I thought if I made them unisex and more ornamental I could aim them at a niche market for certain types of adult parties

# It's going slowly, I'll admit.
I went out and bought a few things today, like filler, spray paint, gaffer tape, etc. I've still yet to find some sort of helmet; not even the fancy dress shops have anything like what I need :(

# plastic bucket
for trick-or-treaters. poundland sell them and you could probably fit one on your head, not to mention the fact that they'ds be easy to alter
(I helped save b3ta! Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Thu 20 Oct 2011, 19:51, archived)
# Hmm... I might consider it.
I did see one of those helmets today, the ones with two can holders and straws. I could take those off and alter it slightly, and we've got a good starting point.

# if you can knock something together cheaply that'll do the job
there's no point spending a fortune on other stuff. even if it doesn't work out, you're only down a couple of quid

# True true, and it's only for one night (or two if I go to the other party a few days later)
If I can get the panels of the helmet cut out from linoleum or some kind of plastic, I should have it done on time. :)
(I helped save b3ta! Bourbon Fox Bourbon is a moron, Thu 20 Oct 2011, 19:59, archived)
# lino is tricky stuff
it'll bend and flop on you and you can't harden it without making it brittle
(I helped save b3ta! Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, Thu 20 Oct 2011, 20:02, archived)
# I suppose I could double it up, or make it thicker with some board.
I've got a sheet here right now, it's about 3-4mm thick. There are parts on the helmet where I'll need to bend it slightly, so I might have to mix things up a bit.

# Haha :D should have used a bin bag!
It's like you say though; as long as I'm not paying shitloads (and I'm not), there's no harm done. If the project fails I've got other costumes I could wear.

# there's a youtube vid
somewhere of the guy who made the stormtrooper helmets I remember watching but he had all the equipment and a plastic vacuum setup. I can imagine if you nail it and are able to make a few you could have a setup flogging them, the fact they're so hard to make will make them more desirable. if ameobaboy pops up he'll have loads of good advice

# I think there might be a vacuum forming booth at my uni.
If the price is reasonable I'll give it a go, make the final design look a bit more professional.

And there are people out there selling Daft Punk helmets they've made, but for hundreds of pounds a piece. :S

I was really hoping to get it done tonight, but with no helmet to build around, it'll have to wait till tomorrow :( I guess I could ask someone in 3D design or technology about it; I went down there to ask if I could have it 3D printed, but it'd cost WAY too much.

I do plan to have each segment cut out on plastic/lino using the laser cutter; I downloaded a net of sorts, and tried it out with thin card. It definitely looks the dog's bollocks. :D
