Step 9Head
I took a construction helmet and started adding on details. This is where I use the thinner cardboard. The first attempt I didn’t like how high I angled the crown. I was too focused on keeping it small and tight to my face, that I overlooked the crown. I later went back and adjusted it to my liking. Additionally, I added in more details like the circles on the crown (chipboard) and the vents. Once primed and painted, I cut a translucent yellow folder for my visor and some painted details for the finishing touches.

14 inches from the top of the crown to the bottom of the face mask.
12 inches wide from the cheek vents (the widest point) and
12.5 inches from front to the back of the helmet
The helmet that I used is a 3M Tekk Protection Hard Hat with Ratchet Suspension. I made sure to flip it the other way around to keep the bill of it in the back.
Hope that helps.
