Name: Finnlock Location: USA Website: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Obscurus_Crusade/index.php?showtopic=62 Materials: "Still very much a WIP, this is the mock up for the helm, I built this to check scale and fit. I used a toy plastic space hemlet I found in a thrift store for 99 cents. It can be found online for $5.00 Found here: http://www.birthdayinabox.com/search/produ...67&SSAID=225926 I cut the visor (used to make the "eyes") and jaw off of it, then used cardboard to form the new visor (with and without jaw) The forms where then cut out of paper to get a rough template shape and eye shape, then joined to give an edge to the center, I used craft foam to make the visor at this stage so it had thickness. The fleur de lis is one I had left over from the 1st suit and I just stuck it on, same with the "ears", there will be something there in the finished one, so I wanted to get an idea of scale and proportion. I'm looking at two options for the finished piece once I'm happy with it, 1. cover the craft foam with wonderflex or 2. build it up out of layers of PVC foam. "
