Helm of Justice
-
So, I noticed that Knightmare live is doing a 10th anniversary tour. So, after booking for the nearest venue, I decided to make something new to celebrate the occasion. I went for a mix between early season screen accurate and illustration accurate, just trying to capture the general look and design details. It's a little over-sized so it looks proportionally correct for cosplay on an adult instead of a child.

Plans for an IMPROVED version?! This one is absolutely amazing! You did a fantastic job.
There are some flaws where I made some mistakes and had to improvise to cover them but you'd need to look closely to find them and it's really comfy to wear. Other than a few tweaks to the shape, the horns are the biggest issue. Making them both sturdy and light was challenge because the materials I had weren't ideal and they ended up a bit over-sized.
I've since significantly expanded my 3D printing capabilities (although I'm waiting on some replacement parts right now), so I'll probably just model and print the horns to the exact size and shape I need if I get around to making another one. I mostly just make things for fun whenever I'm going to Knightmare live now. Last time I did a fright night cosplay but that was a super rushed job making the helmet.

I've never seen the live show unfortunately. I can’t drive for medical reasons and it hasn't come close enough to us for my mum to be willing to come with and drive lol.
They've cofirmed a show near Leeds at the start of April next year, so that's fairly close if you're in Sheffield.
