as the first introduction to model making, i got to design and fabricate a helmet of my own design. for the design, i wanted to combine the style of an old greco-roman helmet and my love of the symbolisms of flowers. 

the helmet is made completely out of various types of foam. the actual helmet form is made from eva foam which has been cut, molded with heat, and sanded to create a smooth surface. the edge banding on the front face of the helmet is simple craft foam i cut and glued to add an extra layer of detail and to help make the edge look more cohesive. like the edge banding, the flowers are completely made from craft foam that were then glued into place. after a layer of primer, i used different metallic colored spray paints to give it that old metal sheen.
