You will need multiple supplies and a BUNCH of time, A BUNCH!!!
This may cost around $20-$50 depending on how much you buy.
You will need
-Card stock
-Paper Craft glue. Elmer's is the kind I use. Try not to use any other glue as this type will bond paper better.
-x-acto knife/paper craft scissors (DO NOT USE REGULAR/SAFETY SCISSORS)
-cutting board (if you don't want your find wood table to have cut marks)
-Fiberglass Resin
-Bondo Bondo
-dust masks
-some useless paintbrushes
-useless credit card
-Printer
-Pep files(halo pep files)
-pepakura viewer 3!

all the files you will need are up here. If you don't know what pepakura is, it is basically a program that converts a 3D object into 2D so you can cut and glue it after printing
This is the easiest way to make a halo helmet, I might add some more supplies later on
so read through carefully.

Takes more time but the end result is VERY satisfying. Good job though!!
i know this is about 2 years late looking at everything Man i was trying to print out the helmet the other week and the numbers on the paper were totally put together so close over topping them so i couldnt use it
how do you put the scale and width and all that because i tryed putting in numbers somone put in theres and it totally changed them so thats why it printed out diffrent and over toping it
if u could email me at mattchu247@gmail.com that would be amazing
thanks also i bought a morphsuit from amazon it came from the uk its a tuxedo one so i think it wud be koool and funny with a halo helmet
I need help .I need to know how i can make safety helemt by sample tools
Regards
Pepakura will take most of your time.
The pep for the helmet took about 1 week maybe 2-3 hours a day and the rest of the helmet to finish it and harden it took about a week also but with lesser commitment. I think you will find it easier with each failure you make. I recommend trying something easy to pep and then going into the hard stuff.
Good luck with your outfit and yes, you will need all the time from here to june if you can make it fast enough.

btw, how much would you sell one of these for? i've looked online, and full suits that actually look pretty good cost somewhere between $800-$1000. so what would you sell, for example, the helmet you had made for?
First off, I wanna see your pics. :) they must look great
Second, your right about the cost of these, majorly expensive but a helmet might go for $100-$200 because of costs of supplies and labor, mine I might sell for $150 because its not the best but no the worst and I spent about $70 bucks on supplies. :P
is that from wall-e or something?
