Go ahead, call it boxy if you want, but I prefer "8-bit", or even "Retro".

Materials

To build the helmet, you will need:

-Two cardboard boxes that are roughly the same size
-Some transparent green plastic.  (I used a file thingy, but a sandwich bag and a green sharpie would work in a pinch)
-Red spray paint. You might need a secondary color for the detail work, but I ended up not using it.
-Access to a hot glue gun
-A knife to cut cardboard with

And for the detail work, I used a couple of spare pieces of wire conduit and a piece of paper.
