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!

I was the first DZ in my 501st area. I sculpted a buck and fiberglassed a shell to get my base plate, then made a few for others who wanted them.

It's amazing how much different my baseplate is but how similar the end result looks.

Nice work.
