Coolest Homemade Spaceballs Dark Helmet Costume

I decided to try and make my own Homemade Spaceballs Dark Helmet Costume, and this is the result. The helmet was the hardest part. I started the helmet with a squirrel guard from a bird feeder, then built the sides and back out of aluminum flashing and rivets.

The helmet was covered with fiberglass mat and resin, sanded and then painted to get rid of all the seams in the flashing. The face mask is mostly made from aluminum, wood and hot glue. The eyes are made with tinted plexi-glass, and the mouth piece is a sink drain strainer.

It took about four weekends to complete. Hope you like it!

  1. This is the best homemade Lord Helmet I have seen. My boyfriend wants to be Lord Helmet and I am going to be princess Vespa. Thanks for the ideas!

  3. I cannot find one of these online anywhere. How much would you charge to make me one? You should seriously consider making about fifty of these and just sell them on the side. You could make some serious money. Please, email me back if you would consider making one or telling me how to.
