This Tutorial
When I started this cosplay, the biggest challenge was figuring out how to support the weight of the helmet in a way that allowed me to wear it comfortably and for a long time.

I searched for people who had done something similar, but I had a hard time finding other cosplayers that had made such heavy headpieces. I thought I'd make this tutorial, with the hope that I'd help someone out there facing the same challenges.

Hope you enjoy!

Why not make the object out of lighter weight materials, like foam, and then apply a thin metal veneer or a leaving to give it the metallic look, without all of the weight of paper-mache?

The first time I made the helmet, I made it out of foam. Click the [link] for a picture.

The foam version in the above link was actually heavier, even despite the fact that it was 1/2 as big. Also, the foam version didn't have a back support, but instead rested upon the tops of my shoulders. This was much less comfortable.
