Making, making, making!

I've decided to go with the making the war helmets idea! However this proved trickier than I thought first I thought about filled the plastic helmet that I had with plaster but then they wouldn't be hollow and I'd have to hollow them out and that same think a lot of work for not very much reward. So I went with paper mâché.
What I did was use the plastic helmet as a mould and create 3 helmets. 
However I then discovered that they were pretty flimsy so I wanted to make the sturdier. I decided to cover them in mod roc to help them have a bit more shape and stop them for collapsing in on themselves. 
I'm going to leave them overnight and hopefully I'll be able to paint them soon!
