MK.V Diving Helmet
Description
The printed components I used to make a costume of a MK.V US Navy diving helmet. The helmet itself (the dome and collar piece) was EVA foam. Best option is to paint the whole thing copper colour, then brush paint the seams with silver to simulate the soldering. I used a reflective tinting film on the windows to make it spookier. It'll need some nuts and bolts to make the hinges and to look authentic. A big wingnut for the front window is good as well, but I didn't have time to find one. I used the adjustment knob on the front to adjust a speed controller for an internal fan, pumping air in through the two hose connectors at the rear to keep myself from suffocating. It gets very stuffy inside, and ventilation is definitely needed. Don't build this without active ventilation! The main head sphere is 270mm in outside diameter, and the neck connection is about 220mm diameter.
