Help with getting started on a helmet

[its7bit]

Hello guys, I am new to the costuming side of things, could anyone give me a list of materials i would need to make a helmet but at a low-ish cost thanks, and could you recommend me any good templates i could use as this is my first build thanks again

There's a sticky at the top of the helmet section about scratch builds. A member has linked lots of the other scratch build threads within.

There are a lot of good techniques to learn from in the scratch building sticky, but IMO this guy has the best templates. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/rafal-works-helmet-rwh-v2-helmet-templates-build-45938/

Whatever templates you end up using my advice would be to take your time and be careful in the cardboard/posterboard stage to minimize clean up later on with bondo etc. (I'm in the middle of a WOF scratch build and I'm doing all sorts of crazy modifications to make up for things I had overlooked before.)

Also I agree about using rafalfetts templates- I haven't used them personally, but I've heard great thing and I'm using some of his measurements and dimensions to make my WOF a little more accurate.
