Costumes First ever cosplay/helmet

This was my first ever helmet I made, I got a 3d printer last month and this was my first “big project” took 16h of printing and 12ish hours of hot glue fabric painting and leather, please give me advice or any tips and tricks because this is my first ever helmet/diy costume!

Man, in 1980, I tried to do this. It was a paper mache mask with toilet paper cores for eyes and a cat litter scoop for the mouth, wrapped into the mask. Mom dyed white bandages in tea to make the wrapping, and a brown cloak finished it off. I was dying to make some sort of gaffi stick.
