Step 4The helmat part 1 the front
the helmet is by far the most difficult part of the build.
the first step of the helmet is the neck piece. the neck piece has to be big enough for your head to fit through it but as small as possible as long as you can get your head through. it should be in the shape of the one in picture2
once you have built the neck piece the next step is the neck scales.the neck scales are important because they hold up the head and you see through them. they also anchor the frill. first attach your first neck scale as in picture 3. then glue on another piece of cardboard on it. it should now look like picture 4. after this you should only need about one more, but if needed, a forth smaller piece can be added.
now cut out a flat nosed triangle with a arc in it that will fit the arc of your neck scales.
then glue it on.
then cut out two of the curved wave like shapes seen in picture six and glue them on.
cut out 2 semicircles of cardboard and glue them on as eyes. optional, poke two holes for the two leds. tape the watch batteries to the leds so so that tey light up, and the put some hot glue around the base of the led then stick it through the hole you poked in the cardboard. you may have to replace the watch batteries so only put these in before you go where ever you are going in the costume.
cut out another flat nosed triangle and make a little square that is the tip of the nose.
now it is time to build the frill first. cut out the shape that you want your frill to be. then lay down the first scale. now lay down another scale on top that over laps the first one. keep doing this until you have filled the frill there should be about 5 scales. these steps are illustrated by picture 8-11. then glue the frill onto the neck scales. now do it again for the other side.
you have now finished the front.
