Step 6Make the face plate
Clearly, you could electrify the eyes and do some neat things here. We made a strategic call that we wanted as clear a line of sight as possible for the wearer, so we were more concerned with being able to see out that make this part look awesome.
This actually added up adding to the costume's awesomeness, since the eyes were not visible in darkened rooms, while the leaf light was very visible in those situations. This caused Eve to look like she was "sleeping" (as she does in the movie) when the leaf light is activated.
Anyway.
We got some metal mesh from Utrecht (an art supply store) and using the part of the head we cut out, figured out how much mesh we needed to fold it over once (to give us some structural strength, your mileage may vary).
After shaping it to fit in the opening, we covered it with black pantyhose.
