Iron Man Helmet

I've started so many helmets, but never finished them, and through trial and error i've found a good way of getting the iron man helmet quite good. it was also very cheap, i think i spent around $3 in total and what was on spray paint :)

Step 1 Getting The Shape

what better way to shape the helmet for your head, than by using your head.

I used a plastic bag.

I wrapped it around my head (but cut the face mask out, so I could breathe)

After the plastic bag is securely wrapped around your head and take the shape of your head, have a friend cover your head in duct tape. to secure the shape.

sorry, but I didn't take any pictures of the helmet with duct tape round, but once you've done that, simply paper mache it all over

you must also add the circle things on the side of his head when you paper mache. those are optional tho

This rocks but I'm only going to do the red bit because I'm making a different helmet.

To take it off, you have to cut up the back of it............that is why i attached a bit of card at the back, which reaches over and covers the cut up the back...........this not only looks better but secures it better as well

I like your helmet. the only thing I could say that would need to make your helmet better is body filler aka bondo, sanding and more sanding. Love ya helmet man I think this is the route im goin to go. I have the mask cut out and ready to put together.
