I said several months ago that I would post pictures of my helmet, and I've finally gotten some decent pictures. A lot of my original inspiration came from marshon.

My main materials:
Cereal Box Cardboard (for everything)
Paper Mache (for dome)
Hot Glue
Guesso (pronounced 'jesso', used to smooth over the cardboard, gives texture)

Gold Paint Pen
