Measure and Cut the Base Design
This video is where I got my measurements from. Use a yard stick, Draw with a sharpie and cut with razor blade.
Cut Eye Holes
Take you front pieces and cut out the eyes. I measured 2 1/2" from bottom, and 2" on top and back.
Once you lay it all out, tape it on side to get a general shape of your helmet.
Hot Glue It
With the tape in place, and the frame in place hot glue it from inside. Make sure use alot, don't get skimpy. If you are building this, I am sure you are planning on wearing it more than once
Border
Make a piece on the front part where we measured 2 1/2" under the eye. I made it 2 1/2" and then follow the helmet around.
The top of the eye I did a 1" piece
Spackle and Sand
All the cracks and mess ups you did you now need to fill. Let it dry and sand of the ruff edges
Shoulder Piece
Bevel the bottom edge, and angle a 3" piece around the bottom, play with the angles a little to achieve what you want.
Paint Round 1
I started painting it at this point to get a feel for what I wanted to add on it as I continued. Black seems to be a good base on on foam then use the color you want after the black dries
Eyes
Measure the material that you want on the eyes. I used 2 layers, The metal part in the pic is from a aluminum satellite. The second layer on the inside I used the black sheeting you use in a garden for weed blocker.
I took the aluminum and dry brushed it gold
Now hot glue them on the inside into place
Make Some Decor for It
I used a hole punch on sticky back sheet foam. Sticky back is good because it hard to use a hot glue gun on such small pieces. The I cut some V's out of the foam and painted them. Make sure to use mod podge to seal it and gloss it up.
Optional! I Made a Backpack to Go With It
I had a firefighter tank pack I used for this part and layered some sheet foam to create the spine. Then I freelanced it and kept adding to what I had, none of it was planned
Finished Product
This is what my semi-finished outfit looks like, I will still be adding to it. I cosplay pyramid head and I am adding alot more to it. I am making boots for it that I will add later.
Any questions or comments please leave them! I always like to here what you guys think!
