my wife and i went to the local halloween stores yesterday, and for the first time, there was nothing there that really tickled my fancy, but i was feeling in a creative mood.
i began to think very hard about something i could do myself.
i saw a marked down plastic mask. i could see that there were some flaws in the design, thus the markdown. it was nothing i couldn't fix myself. problem was is that i wear glasses and a mask really doesn't work for me that way.
but if i make a full helmet, i can keep some extra room for my glasses. interesting.
i found a roman legionnaire helmet made of a heavy plastic. i looked at it, making sure that i could tear it apart as i needed. i checked to make sure that the two pieces could connect at some place. they did, with some adjustment.
i smiled.
i got the pieces home, and set upon my terrible task. after some disassembly, testing, and reassembly, i had my base form. since then i have added an outer shell, and am now shopping for a few extra pieces.
my deadline is the 27th. fitting, its my birthday.
will i finish it in time? stay tuned.
