Darth Tader

What are people doing for the lens???? my helmet will be or a con only (not going to chase certification with this one.) just need something quick and dirty that looks kinda right

the part on the forehead

ok next google search how to make ribbed fabric....... sewing lines easy. sewing STRAIGHT lines around a batting...... remains to be seen

So at this point I'm just building the helmet (not terribly worried about certification that may come later) but I have a couple quick questions. 1) Of the people already building. Are you painting the helmet and "visor" separately or are you attaching the visor then painting. if your attaching later.... HOW??? also is there enough room behind the attached visor to get a paint brush, rattle can, or airbrush back there? 2) Where would be the appropriate place to put a WIP thread??? HQ seems to have a few but also seems t be more of a place for research. Thanks in advance May the Tader be with you, always

Where do you get a fabric like that ?? Sent from my Nexus 6
