I'm attempting to make my own for a convention in a few months.
Thanks
The rest of the helmet is made of sheets of styrene or some other plastic with a craft foam backing glued using hot glue. Some of it is plastic cut out from a 2 liter bottle. The white plastic I ordered online.
The forehead spike is made from a plastic plate that I cut and rolled into a cone.
The "ears" are the bottoms of yogurt cups that I cut out.
Good luck with yours! I'd love to see what you come up with.
I'm starting preparation on mine currently.
I hope mine comes out looking like yours; yours is quite accurate.
If you have the time and you're willing to dispense the effort to do so, try to add a beveled trim to the headband part and the faceplate. And if I was starting over, I would have made the chin taller, so I could cover more of the wearer's head.
If you dig around my deviations, you'll see the version of the one that's been primed gray. I stuck two circular tacks in the sides, which looks quite nice. If you use other materials and have better success, let me know!
thx for submitting this, mate! ^^
Can you help me?
Thanks
The top of this helmet, the dark blue part, is a hard baseball cap that I cut. The rest of the helmet is made of sheets of styrene or some other plastic with a craft foam backing glued using hot glue. The forehead spike is made from a plastic plate that I cut and rolled into a cone.
I would love to see pictures of your Alphonse cosplay. I'm still a far ways from completing mine.
