Diving Helm


A steam punk based diving helm.

This helmet is homemade, constructed from high-density foam and a clear plastic dome.

The construction involved lots of contact adhesive but was relatively simple in shape and form, preformed foam hexagons help decorate the construction

 

The final result was then painted with flexithane paint mixed with brass powder pigment.


I finally added a couple of pieces of flexible plastic conduit sprayed with brass paint to provide the helmet's mock air supply.
