How to make a Rey costume from Star Wars. Choosing the material for the stormtrooper suit. LEGO Game - Star Wars Experiment
The first episode of the saga “ star Wars”Was released on screens 40 years ago, and since then every New film increases the army of her fans. It is no coincidence that the characters from these films are so popular at carnivals among adults and at children's matinees. Recognizable, unusual characters in the Star Wars saga. The costume of this or that movie hero is easy to make with your own hands.
Darth vader
This is one of the central characters in the saga - the father of Luke Skywalker, who went over to the side of darkness and took the name Darth Vader. Distinctive features his costume - black armor of a Jedi, a terrifying mask, a black cloak and certainly a lightsaber of blue color is one of business cards sagas "Star Wars".
Wear black pants and a long sleeve shirt with black motorcycle gloves and boots for a trendy and easy going look. Sew the cloak from a rectangular cut of black satin fabric. Using colored tape or fabric dyes on the chest, draw a control panel of silver, red, and blue rectangles.
However, the hardest part of making such a suit (Star Wars) with your own hands is building a helmet. You can buy a ready-made one, or you can spend a little time and make it out of papier-mâché. The base can be an inflated ball placed in a bucket for stability. The balloon should be inflated the size of your head so that the helmet fits well on it.
With help thin paper and glue, make a round base on the top of the head, and model the wings of the helmet, expanding downward, using cardboard. Dry the finished helmet and paint it with black paint from a spray can.
Kylo Ren
This Jedi, the son of General Han Solo and Princess Leia, is one of the negative characters in the saga. And he has his own special costume and helmet, like the other Jedi in the Star Wars saga. Kylo Ren's costume consists of a black jumpsuit and a robe with a hood, belted with a wide belt. It is not difficult to make them, since you can take a black longsleeve and tights as a basis, and sew a mantle from any dense black material. Do not forget about the hood - under it the character hides his head all the time. For the belt, use fabric under the skin, sew a rectangle and fasten it with Velcro to make the suit easier to put on.
It will be more difficult with the mask, it is a black helmet, similar to the one worn by the character of Darth Vader, but the difference is in the silver stripes around the eyes and mouth. Therefore, as a basis, you can take the shape and technique of creating a headdress of Darth Vader from papier-mâché, and give a similarity to the character of Kylo Ren with the help of silver paint. You need to draw similar stripes on the finished and painted black helmet.
Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker's outfit is quite simple to create, which is why it is embodied more often than others. Plus, this Star Wars costume fits just as well for kids as it does for adults. First of all, you will need a white or beige long shirt, tailored in the manner of a kimono. You can sew it according to any pattern of a kimono or even a dressing gown, or you can take it ready-made suit for oriental martial arts... Second, you need a wide brown belt. It can be sewn from a piece artificial leather fastened with Velcro at the back.
Any white trousers can be worn under the shirt, which must be tucked into long white knee socks or leggings. Cut a long hooded cloak over the suit from a piece of brown fabric.
How to make a lightsaber
Most of the male characters in the saga are Jedi, and their main weapon is a lightsaber. And it is absolutely necessary for the costumes of Darth Vader, Kylo Ren or Luke Skywalker.
The easiest way, suitable if you do baby suit Star Wars is a sword made of paper, plastic or wood. You can take a well-rolled long roll of paper or a plastic mop handle. Paint one end black and the other blue or red. In between do volumetric element that will look like a sword hilt. It can be made of foil, wound in several layers on a workpiece.
It's another matter if you make adult carnival costumes. Star Wars is serious science fiction, and in order to immerse yourself in its world, you will have to master the basics of electronics and physics. Then, with the help of a transparent tube and LED bulbs, you can make a sword that lights up at the touch of a button.
Princess Leia
Leia is the main and perhaps the only recognizable female character in the Star Wars saga besides Queen Amidala. Her suit is perfect for both girls and adult girl... It is very simple and consists only of a white long dress. You can sew it according to any pattern of a dress to the floor with sleeves. The collar is also important - it should have a small stand, so you can use a white turtleneck for the base of the suit, to which a long white skirt is simply sewn.
Leia wore a silver belt around her waist. You can look for a similar one in accessory stores or take any available one, paint it with silver paint or wrap it in foil.
But the image of Leia would be incomplete without her famous hairstyle - two shells of curled hair on the sides. If you or your child has long hair, then they can be braided into braids on the sides or twisted into tight bundles and lay each braid with a shell over the ear, securing the hair with hairpins. If the length of the hair is not enough, you will have to make an element of the costume. For him, take:
- Headband in hair color.
- A skein of thick brown yarn.
- Corrugated cardboard.
- Brown felt.
Cut two circles out of cardboard and glue the same piece of felt to one side of each. Twist several pieces of yarn into a bundle and glue on the felt, laying the threads in a spiral. Make as many loops so that the hair-like shells are voluminous. Glue the finished hairstyle elements to the rim with a glue gun.
Master Yoda
The wisest of the Jedi is undoubtedly Master Yoda. This is a funny character in long cloak and with big ears, who built his wise phrases... Undoubtedly, this costume ("Star Wars") for children - kids look like an old wise Jedi very cute and funny.
Sewing a baggy brown robe belted with a rope will be quite simple, but making long pointed ears is a little more difficult. For them you will need:
- Green felt.
- Holofiber.
- Slim bezel.
Cut 4 ear parts from hard, well-holding felt, sew them in pairs and stuff with holofiber so that the ears keep their shape. Stick them on the headband and you can put the master's ears on your head.
You can also make papier-mâché ears and attach them not to the bezel, but to a semicircular blank made of the same material. This will create a one-piece headdress that simply slides over your head.
Star Wars Stormtrooper Outfit
These soldiers, clad in snow-white armor, are the perfect look for a carnival costume. For the image of a space warrior, you will first need to make a helmet and armor. Take two white canisters. Glue the canister lids on the sides of the neck of one of them. Next, cut out the front and back of this canister so that the sidewalls and the neck with the glued caps remain - this is the future front part of the helmet.
At the second canister, you need to cut off the bottom and glue both parts perpendicularly. Also cut off the top with a neck at the second canister and from the remaining pieces of plastic make a circle that will cover the top of the helmet. Try on the mask over your head and trim the bottom canister if necessary to keep your neck comfortable. Make slits for the eyes in the appropriate places and add details to the mask using silver tape and black marker.
The rest of the Star Wars Stormtrooper costume is easy to assemble from a white T-shirt with long sleeves and white pants or leggings. Black stripes on the legs and arms can be made with fabric paint or black tape.
The fantastic saga "Star Wars" conquered the whole world, gaining a lot of fans who are not only ready to watch all the parts of the film many times, but also to collect all kinds of accessories on this topic. Children with great pleasure wear caps, T-shirts, T-shirts with the emblem depicting brave heroes, and also use key chains, cups or other accessories, play games and read books on the subject of the film.
For those who still prefer the fantastic inhabitants of the endless Space, do not want to part with their favorite characters of the battle for justice, I recommend doing handicrafts and making a whole collection of crafts, as well as watching the scenario of games for toddlers. By the way, not only children, but also adults can take Active participation in creativity and plunge into the extraordinary world of "Star Wars".
LEGO Game - Star Wars Experiment
In this game, we decided to create an experiment like Han Solo was frozen in carbonite and given to Bob Fett.
Materials you need:
- Form for ice
- baking soda
- Lego figures "Star Wars"
- spoon, container.
Experiment Process:
Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part of water. Add Jelly powder if desired to add flavor and color to the mixture.
Pour not a large number of mixture in lower part tray for making ice cubes.
Place one Star Wars toy in each section.
Cover each toy with plenty of baking soda and water mixture.
Place the ice tray in freezer and leave for a few hours.
Remove the "carbonite" experimental shapes from the containers.
Add vinegar to save Han Solo and his Star Wars buddies.
The scientific experiment is ready!
And now about how my children played.
First, we made a pure carbonite mixture (no color and no odor). I took out the frozen figurines from the container and put them in glass containers - a figurine for each child. The guys happily scooped up vinegar with a spoon and saved their "Star Heroes". After all the figures have acquired their appearance, the kids were asked to repeat the experiment, but with a tinted mixture. This time they were saving more characters and were more excited and interested in the experiment. They giggled when they saw mini "explosions" and hiss as they added vinegar to the water and soda mixture. It is probably unnecessary to say that you need to stock up on a towel and more than one))). It was a small disaster in my kitchen, so for the next time I gave the children a bathroom)).
Using the above method, you can freeze different figures, plastic numbers in carbonite.
Yoda's ears made of paper
My beloved daughter loves to wear a mask - Yoda ears.
In this project, I will show you how you can make Yoda out of paper. Although you can make them from felt or fluffy wire.
Manufacturing process:
- Cut two long pieces of green double-sided paper, 10 cm wide. Fold in half, making one piece as the base of the mask.
- Cut the ears out of a piece of thick green paper
- Place the ear cut inside the fold of the strip. Secure with adhesive tape.
- Add another part of the headband to lengthen the strip. Attach with adhesive tape
Secure the headband strip at the top with the tape over the ear. Now, you can see that the ear is coming out of the headband.
- For the second ear, cut a slit where the ear should be. Insert ear inside the slot, secure Yoda's ear with tape
- If necessary, secure the base of the mask by wrapping it in packing tape.
- Connect the ends of the headband with a stapler or adhesive tape, shaping round shape
- Take a quilted batting (or cotton balls) - this will be Yoda's hair and place it around the ears and head, glue it.
- Such ears can be made white and use as adorable ears of lamb.
Application "Yoda"
My children are big fans of Yoda, so they started making an applique with the image of this fantastic hero with pleasure.
What was needed:
- colored cardboard (green, brown, dark brown / black, red, white)
- scissors
- pencil
- eye stickers
Manufacturing process:
- Cut out two brown rectangles (cape), a large black triangle (body), a green circle (head), 2 green triangles (ears), one red square (mouth), and one small black rectangle (ears).
Manufacturing:
After the materials have been cut, have your children begin to create a painting: per sheet white cardboard glue all the parts where they should be.
As a result, you get your very own Star Warrior - Yoda!
Kids love to draw and color! Therefore, I picked up a series of coloring pages featuring characters from the movie "Star Wars".
You only need paper and a printer to print 15 black and white sheets.
Postcard "Yoda is the best dad!"
Our dad, like our kids, is a fan of the Star Wars movie. Therefore, on Father's Day, the children decided to surprise him - a postcard with the image of Pope Yoda.
Materials needed:
- green, gray, brown and White paint
- a sheet of white paper
- black marker.
Postcard creation:
- To begin with - let the child get wet and thumb green ink and make a print on a white sheet of paper. Then four fingers get wet in brown paint and will make a print at the bottom of the green image.
- Take black permanent marker and sketch out the outlines of the face and body, as well as depict the clothes below. Draw the ears, eyes, eyebrows.
- And finally, it remains to add the smallest details: dark in green depict fingers, lines on the forehead, shadow in the ear, add a mouth and nose. Can you in gray draw hair on the top of the head and behind the ears.
- Sign the postcard: "Yoda is the best dad!"
Boys Special attention pay to Star Wars spaceships, so I am sure that they will not mind creating their own spacecraft and not one ...
Collect all necessary materials:
- egg tray
- two cocktail sticks
- tubes from under toilet paper
- plastic caps from under the tube-shaped box
- a small toy bucket.
- foil
- scissors.
Making the first spaceship:
- Take the egg tray, cut out one part - the indentation for one testicle. Put it on top of the tube.
- Wrap the structure with foil.
Add cocktail sticks and plastic caps or castors on both sides.
- From colored paper, cut out square and rectangular shapes- these will be hatches and viewing windows, glue them to the spaceship.
Manufacturing of the second spaceship:
- Cut two indentations from the egg tray. Put on them disposable cup with cut out sides. Place a small condiment container on top.
- Glue multi-colored rectangles to the structure, depicting hatches, doors, observation windows of the spacecraft.
Star Wars spaceships are ready!
I would like to present another version of a spaceship of a completely different design. My children are very happy to play with it, periodically changing the pilot's toy figure - Star Warrior.
For manufacturing you will need:
- toilet paper roll, or kitchen towels,
- hot glue or PVA glue,
- scissors or a knife for needlework,
- white paint
- paint or marker in red and black.
Cut out the wings of the spaceship from a piece of paper.
Glue them to the cardboard roll.
Use a knife to cut an oval hole in the cardboard tube.
Paint the item with white paint.
When the paint is dry, apply black and red lines to decorate the spaceship.
Place a Star Warrior figure on the flying plane! Everything is ready!))
An equally interesting project: making molten lava and playing with figures from Star Wars.
Making fiery lava. For this you will need:
- 150 gram bottle of clear school glue. You can use PVA glue
- 1 tube of liquid watercolor paints orange or yellow. Food coloring can be added.
- 1 tube of red glitter
- 80 grams of liquid starch.
Mix liquid glue with paint. Then slowly add the liquid starch and mix well for 2-3 minutes. Check stickiness and viscosity. If everything suits you, then immerse the figures in lava and start the game "Star Wars".
by the way color range lava can be changed by changing paint colors. For the second time, we made the lava green. It also turned out impressively beautiful!
Let's make miniature Star Wars universe- do-it-yourself space system
Some kids' stores sell kits for making a space system, and I suggest making it out of the following material:
- acrylic paint
- drinking straws
- needles and fishing line or thread
- small flat buttons
- wire hanger for clothes
- mini lights on batteries
- hook - screws
- figures of spaceships (optional).
In order for the planets to differ not only in size, but also in color, we colored them in different colours: yellow, green, blue, red and orange. To achieve some colors, we had to mix paints. For example, we got orange from yellow and red.
Some planets were colored in yellow, and after the paint has dried, slightly dipped in the remnants of red.
Place each ball on a napkin to dry.
Pierce the orange ball with a drinking straw.
Then, pull the line (thread) into the needle and pull it through the center of the ball. In order for the thread to lock in place and not all slip through the straw, fix it at the end with a small button.
If the ball is small, you can thread the thread without a straw.
Pull the string through each dyed ball, leaving a long piece of string to hang the piece.
To simulate stars, wrap the garland of lights around a metal wire or wire hanger. It is desirable that the garland be battery powered or you can use LED lights.
Tie each ball with a thread to a metal wire. You can also attach self-made flying ships (their manufacture is indicated above)
Hang the space system structure from the ceiling using a string and a hook.
Everything! The miniature Star Wars universe is ready! It looks gorgeous in the dark with twinkling lights - stars and multi-colored balls - planets.
Let's make Yoda's residence from the Star Warriors.
Without any special costs you and your child will be able to make Yoda's place of residence: his hut, a swamp with bubbles, etc. The kid will have fun spending time near the structure for hours, and you will be happy to observe this, possibly doing household chores in parallel.
What you need:
- plastic (plastic) bath
- a bubbling liquid, such as baby shampoo, diluted with water. To color the mixture, I added more drops of green food paint and a few drops of red.
- several bars of milk chocolate or brown plasticine to create the ground on which Yoda's hut will be located.
— Lego constructor Star Wars. It is imperative that it contains mini-figures of Yoda, Wedji and other characters of the fantastic saga, as well as details for creating a hut. Ships. Before using the figures in the game, make sure that they do not get wet, do not have any holes that can be filled with water, as well as paper stickers that can get wet and lose their original appearance.
- a large bowl of water and a few towels so that the child can wash and dry his hands at any time.
The manufacturing process is very simple: we build Yoda's hut from Lego bricks, set it in a plastic container on an island of chocolate mixture, pour a layer of baking soda, evenly distributing it along the bottom and, finally, pour in the bubble mixture (water + shampoo + dye). Yoda's residence is ready! Bring up Yoda and plunge into the fascinating world of the game called "Star Wars".
Star Warrior Helmet.
The idea to create a helmet came when it was necessary to come up with a costume for the carnival on the occasion of Halloween. The children unanimously shouted that they wanted to be Star Warriors, so I got to work and started making a warrior helmet. If you have two children, like me, then you have to make two products, which means that you will need twice as much material.
You will need for one mask:
- two plastic jugs with a lid for milk or other food product
- hot glue
- scissors or razor knife... The plastic is pretty thin so I did a great job with the knife
- White paint
- elastic band for holding the helmet on the head.
Cut three pieces out of the plastic jars, pieces A and B from the first, and piece C from the second. The size of the parts depends on the size of the head, but for my children, who are 6 and 4 years old, helmets made from such pieces fit perfectly.
Hot glue the cut out parts. As you can see from the photo: parts A and B became the lower front and side of the helmet, and C - the front top helmet with nose.
Glue the two caps on either side of the mouth in the helmet.
Place the mask over the child's head to figure out where to make the holes for the eyes. Remove the product and use a knife or scissors to cut two holes.
Spray the helmet white.
Wait for the paint to dry completely. Then decorate the helmet with black and gray stripes by painting them with paint or applying duct tape.
Everything! The helmet is ready!
If the previous spaceships did not impress you, then I will make another attempt - I suggest making this snow-white spaceship with color inserts.
To make it, you need a cereal box, colored paper, glue, scissors, straws for drinks and toy wheels.
Manufacturing is quite simple: glue the cylindrical box with white paper, paste the multi-colored geometric figures, on the sides, attach rectangles of white paper, as well as wheels, dressed on sticks.
Everything! The ship is ready!
Charming self-woven lightsaber
We will master the process of crocheting. We're going to weave a lightsaber out of rubber bands.
You will need: a crochet hook and small elastic bands of gray and any bright color(green, blue or red).
Choose the color of your sword, wrap the first elastic 4 times around the hook.
Hook the second elastic, pass it through the first, as shown in the figure
Thread another elastic over the hook and you have two stripes at the end of the hook.
Continue braiding until you reach the desired length of the sword.
The finished sword should look like this:
12 rows of color painting
- 3 rows in black
- 1 row silver.
When finished weaving, remove the loops from the hook.
Insert a black elastic through the two end loops and tie a knot.
You can leave a loop to wear it as a keychain.
LED swords
If you decide to make a children's birthday party or do not know what to do with your children on a typical day, then get them LED swords! This is an irreplaceable entertainment that will allow children to have fun, have fun, put a little physical effort and dexterity. And the parents will be happy to watch this!
You can buy LED swords online or at a children's toy store.
In general, there are a number of other entertainments with which you can amuse children:
- Craft the Star Wars Sabers.
Make the Star Wars sabers and feel the power of icy freshness on a hot summer day!
For each saber, cut a rectangle of 8cm x 10cm from the gray felt.Fold it over the top of an oblong bag of water - frozen and dyed ( food paint). Glue the edges of the felt together.
Decorate with stripes and dots of colored felt by gluing them to the handle of the sword.
When the glue is dry and the water is completely frozen, the sword is ready for battle!
- Blaster bottle
With just a few materials from the hardware store, you can turn a 2-liter bottle into a fountain that sprays the water into fine droplets, just like in fog.
Punch eight holes on one side of the 2 liter plastic bottle. Insert a bamboo skewer into each hole. Then put the adapter on the neck of the bottle and connect it to the garden hose. You may need an adapter. Check all connections for leaks, periodically make sure that the bottle does not detach from the hose. Turn on the water and enjoy the spray of your own fountain.
- Game "The bowl is full"
Divide the group of children into two teams. Give one player from each team a container of water and the other a glass of ping-pong ball. Place the players at a distance of 1.8m-2m from each other. The bottle player tries to inject enough water into your teammate's cup to keep the ball floating. Place a bucket of water nearby so you can refuel while playing.
- Cones with muffins with protein cream.
Spread protein cream on the muffins, sprinkle with multi-colored coconut flakes (each muffin in a specific color), place them in beautiful paper cones that you can buy or make yourself. Make a structure: a cardboard drum on a leg ( cardboard roll), in which the holes are cut. Insert the cones with muffins into the holes and that's it - you can serve the children on a sweet table!
- Cold Factor game
Before the competition, prepare T-shirts for each participant: immerse them in water and squeeze them out, removing excess moisture. Lay them in a layer with wax paper (baking paper) and freeze. When the jerseys are icy, they become stiff, hand them out to the players. The first person to wear the T-shirt won!
- Necklace with ice cubes.
Take a colored cord (tape), put it on upper part ice freezer tray and place a bead in each well. Place the ends of the cord around the edges of the tray, fill the indentations with water and freeze. When the cubes are frozen, pull the cord, tie the edges and the necklace is done!
Wear it in hot weather: the ice cubes will melt and prevent you from getting heatstroke from excessive heat during hot summer months.
- We jump rope with a glass of water.
We are used to the game "Jumping Rope". I propose to slightly modify the course of the game, as they say, to diversify it!
Provide each player with a full glass of water. One glass - for one pass of jumping rope.
Each player must jump over the rope for ten turns, holding a glass of water in his hands.
The winner is the player who, at the end of the jumps, remains with the largest number water.
- Frozen yoghurt coins.
I suggest great way quickly transform healthy traditional baby food into delicious frozen treats!
Take a bag of yogurt, cut a corner, squeeze small portions of yogurt onto parchment paper for baking cookies. Place whole or pieces on each yoghurt patch fresh berries and place in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
You need to eat yoghurt coins like ice cream - until they melt!
- Coco-Lime
This delicious frozen drink is reminiscent of the taste of the tropics.

Every fan is required to have a white stormtrooper helmet from the Star Wars saga. Interest in the universe created by George Lucas is so great that people are willing to spend great amount money and time to create costumes exactly like those of the heroes of the films. The characters and costumes of the story are so well thought out that it is not easy to do it at all.
Fans know that there are more than eight types of helmets alone. Stormtrooper costumes different types troops are also different from each other. But if a fan has firmly decided something, then nothing is impossible.
How to Design a Star Wars Stormtrooper Suit Layout
The first step is choosing the costume to be made. Once decided, find as many high-quality images of characters in a suit as possible in order to examine the outfit and equipment from different angles in the smallest detail. For example, you can take the first-order attack aircraft, the photo of which is shown below.
It is necessary to carefully study the suit, select parts and elements that can be replaced already ready-made things e.g. search among old shoes similar shoes and just paint them white, pockets and bandoliers can be replaced with plastic boxes, and a black thin turtleneck and knitted pants will perfectly play the role of an elastic undersuit.
The stormtrooper armor from the first Star Wars movie is known to have 18 pieces. Consider the level of detail of the costume: instead of 18 parts, you can make 10, but the character's costume will still remain recognizable. The following image shows the main pieces of Stormtrooper suit armor.
Templates for suits and helmets of stormtroopers are freely available. Finding patterns to fit your size will not be so easy. You can cut a suit according to ready-made patterns from plain paper, glue and arrange a fitting. Selection and editing ready-made drawings can take a lot of time and effort, sometimes it is easier to do from scratch than to edit already finished work... Attention in ready-made patterns the drawings of the helmet are worthy - they can be safely taken into work.
Choosing the material for the stormtrooper suit
The choice of material predetermines all further work over the suit. A helmet can be crafted from plastic bottles, papier-mâché, and cardboard. When choosing the first option, you will need to look for a bottle that is similar in shape and suitable in size, for papier-mâché you need to think about what to make the base from and whether the master's artistic skills will be enough for this, and if you choose cardboard, you will still need putty or epoxy resin to strengthen the product.
Regardless of the material chosen, you will need a lot of paints and varnishes:
- base for paint;
- white paint in a spray can;
- black paint in a spray can;
- glue;
- black electrical tape;
- felt-tip pen;
- sharp knife for cutting thick cardboard;
- scissors.
How to make a paper stormtrooper costume
For a stormtrooper suit, you will need a lot of thick cardboard. According to the model of the outfit, the details of the costume are drawn on cardboard. Next, the blanks are cut out with a special sharp knife, the necessary folds are made and tried on for the future attack aircraft. If necessary, parts are shortened, a fastening system is thought out, depending on the individual dimensions of the model.
Parts made from non-thick cardboard are easier to bend - they do not have any folds and they look better. The disadvantage of such armor will be its fragility. Putty can help in this situation. It is necessary to dilute the putty and apply a thin layer to the inside of the armor.
When the parts of the suit have been fitted and finished, apply base to them, and after drying, cover with white spray paint. It is better to apply black parts with a felt-tip pen over white paint.
Detailing the costume
The most crucial moment in creating a do-it-yourself stormtrooper costume is detailing. Even if inaccuracies and flaws were made at the stage of creating blanks of armor, the addition of small details on existing framework will help fix the costume and make it easily recognizable.
It is worth spending time in a toy store and trying to find the most similar models of plastic pistols, boxes and other small and seemingly unimportant parts. If you do not find elements similar in shape and size, you can use polymer clay for making jewelry. It is necessary to sculpt over the armor, cover it with paint on top. Plastic weapon it is also worth decorating in branded black and white colors.
Making a stormtrooper helmet
As mentioned earlier, for a helmet it is better to take ready-made patterns that need to be cut out of plain cardboard... The parts of the helmet have a large number of small folds. They are all neatly cut and glued. The photo below shows the helmet already glued.
To hide the seams, you can use duct tape and tape over the helmet. Thin layer plaster must be applied on both sides. Then the helmet is painted and details are applied. The suit is ready!
