The helmet is by far the most important part of the costume. Attention to detail is what sets a nice helmet apart from the rest. Another important consideration is that the helmet is what people see the most. If your helmet is shabby, your costume will suffer the same fate. A Don Post helmet works great if you convert it just right. The paint scheme on my helmet was closely rendered from the original pre-production photos. Special paint is needed when working with latex plastics.
