@Inficario The helmet was the easy part (comparatively). I bought a cheap batting helmet; just google "RAWLINGS CoolFlo Metallic Batting Helmet". To cut off the visor, I used a reciprocating saw, but a jig saw or handsaw might work as well. You'll want to sand it down to get a clean edge, like it was never there. For the cowl, I simply made a cut out from a thin plastic sheet (took a few tries) and glued it on. Paint the whole thing dark blue, then mask & add light blue paint for detail.

@StylexSai The end of the gun is a cat-food bowl. The body is just a thin piece of plastic rolled into a tube & glued to the bowl. The light-up part is GloWire with a hole drilled into the bowl to put the on/off/blink switch inside the blaster. I screwed a strap to the interior for easy gripping, & from there I can access the switch. The helmet is a fairly cheap batting helmet with a cut and glued piece of plastic to form the cowl. Apply paint & enjoy.
can you post a tutorial so I can make a helmet like yours please
