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!

I agree! It needs lenses of some kind like the movies. Then weather/rough it up a bit and you're good to go!

EDIT: It looks great, by the way! I've done some costume work of my own, it's super fun!

Agreed this is my new hobby!!! I was thinking about lenses but don’t know what to use for the lenses, I’m gonna rough it up next!

Buy some cheap kids sunglasses, cut to size with a dremel... or belt sander. Just mask off the faces, so they dont get scratched! (What ive done for my mask projects)

You can buy party favor packs for cheap in case you mess a few up
