Sizer's Helmet Tutorial

Description

Here is a walk through of how I created my helmet "Stanley" for my Sizer cosplay.

A few tips when working with spray foam:

1. Work in small bits, if you spray too much at a time, it will become hollow or may not dry on the inside.

2. You can spritz the foam with water to speed up the hardening phase. Do this between layers of foam to ensure you don't get a hollowed out mess.

3. Spray foam sticks to everything, make sure you wear protection and do it in a place like a garage or outside.

4. Spray foam can be removed from skin while it is still wet with acetone. If you get any on you remove it immediately.

5. You can buy in expensive disposable razor blades at your local hardware store. When they become dull use a new blade, dull blades are actually more dangerous to use then sharp ones.

Hope this gives you some ideas of how to tackle your next armor project.

This is fantastic! I was just searching up helmet tutorials because I plan on doing Sakuyamon from Digimon season 3
I do have a question though- how would you suggest putting in like sunglass lenses into it and cutting away the foam into the shape?
Sakuyamon's helmet covers half her face and she has these black lense slits for eyes to see out of. I planned on putting a set of sunglass lenses in it to look out of. ^^
