/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This year I decided to go as Judge Dredd because the movie came out and it reminded me how much I loved the comic and, not to mention, the costume in the new movie looks pretty cool.

I've done a little research and I think I can pull of the bulk of the costume with Motorcycle Riding Armor, but things like the helmet and the pauldrons and pads are going to need me to make them by hand. I saw the foam armor links in >>6251034 's post and >>6251031 's post, so I THINK I have a prett good idea of what to do.

Plus I found someone's site who has made the helmet before and I'm guessing I can do the helmet from a motorcycle helmet.

All that said, I'm not sure I really like how that dude's helmet turned out. It looks to round to me. I was hoping /cgl/ might be able and willing to give me some (more) advice on this.
