Hello all,
Over the last little while a friend of mine has been building costumes for her conventions, and she's wanted to do something like this:
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
I've been helping her make the costumes off and on, and she wants to make this one. My question is how would you guys go about making the top of the helmet in the red circle in the second image? I've only had a little work with sheet metal and I've just bullied it into the right shape with a hammer usually. What I'm looking for is a way to make a large radius half-sphere. As for materials, brass is too expensive so I'll probably make it out of aluminium and paint it up proper or let her do that.
