i forgot to rotate them so you might have to turn your head
andy wants to be a knight for halloween so i thought id make him a helmet to go with his costume, which is fucking sick!
i went through a stack of cardboard, a stack of paper, a couple pencils, 3 tramadol, and close to 15 grams of kratom.
the one in the pic is actually the second one. my son was squirming around on the first and i wasnt able to get proper measurements.
im still not done though. i need to make the back and neck guard and im also going to add a bunch of detail to make it look more realistic. once everything is said and done im going to spray paint to match is armor costume.
i take more pics tomorrow.

I had a meeting at the crossroad

All that's left is the paint. I'm going to spray a flat black spray paint and then once its dried, a silver metallic.

if you pick up some fiberglass resin from home depot (around $15)
you can coat the card board and make it hard like plastic

before, it will soak into the paper and make it ridged
it can also be sanded if you need to remove a bump or something

It'll be heavy as fuck and provide optimum protection in a knight fight.

Yeah, I don't want it too thin, but I def don't want it too heavy.

I just finished making one for my daughter and it looks dumb as shit. looks like a fucking goalie mask.
She didn't like it either.... I got mad then told her to get her ass back in the kitchen and make me some lunch.
