Step 1: Making the helmet

We had to get some good reference pictures and some time to figure out how to materialize our plans into the helmet you see above.
I also found some pepakura files which helped us with certain parts of the helmet.
We constructed it out of cardboard, and put it together with hot glue.
As for the detail parts, we had a lot of foam boards laying around and so we just looked at reference pictures and cut them out and also were glued to the helmet. (Black Parts)

I'm working on my own project and find bondoing near impossible to get smooth. Got any tips for me?

Nice costume. I'm working on my Dead Space costume right now. Hope it turns out as good as yours!

Could you walk me through how to wire the helmet please? I haven't worked with LEDs before.

I am going to follow your steps and try and create my own suit for Supanova (A cosplaying convention in Australia). Hopefully mine turns out just as awesome as yours. When I finish, I'll show you photos. Wish me luck (:

That's funny! And I do encourage you to do this, if you are a Dead Space fan, it was really fun for me and my lover to do, and I am very interested in becoming a professional prop maker, anyway.. You should do this build! Lot of fun!

Thanks! And well I'm hoping to keep doing props, I love it, but I am low on money.. However, when I do get some I will make other builds and post them here on instructables as well as on my blogspot.
