I am planning to make a helmet. It relates to my book, Artemis Fowl because there is a magic police force called the LEP, and one of the main characters is part of it and I am making her helmet.

These are my precedents:

This is a prop from the Artemis Fowl movie. It is my conceptual precedent because it is exactly what I am trying to make.

This is my technical precedent. I am using the template it gives in the video and just not adding the front face part. I am also making it out of foam instead of cardboard.

This was (part of) my first sketch on day 1

My idea is to make a helmet out of foam, then cut and glue the foam to make it.

Day 2

I got the foam for the helmet. Now I am going to start trying to figure out how to make it. Science Bob used to do the same when making other helmets, so I am going to see if any of the CCI staff know how.

Work Day 3:

Ms.Cook sent me two links for a DIY helmet and I think I am going to use the second one, just cutting off the front part:

Work Day 4

I made the first half of the first iteration out of cardboard. I am going to start to make the other half, then make it out of foam for the final!

Work Day 5

I cut out the other half of the first iteration of the helmet

It was not really work day but I still worked on it in Middle Makers:

I finnished the other half of the prototype helmet and I am going to glue them together next time.

Work day 6

Today I cut out the first half of the helmet and started gluing it together. Sadly I couldn't finish or take a photo. :(

Work day 7

I finished the other half, glued it together, and got green and gray duct tape on it because there was no time for paint.

Work day 8

I made a rough laser cut of the visor, heated it up to 500°F, and bent it to the desired shape. Sadly, I couldn't get it on the helmet.:(

Work Day 9

I got the visor on the helmet, but I realised that I couldn't get the tint on, and they are out of LEDs so I don't think I can get them on either.:(

FINAL DAY

I finished the helmet!
