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 jobthere'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. :)

lino is tricky stuffit'll bend and flop on you and you can't harden it without making it brittle

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.
