I'll check out those links when I have time. I want to make daft punk helmets eventually, so this could come in handy. Thanks

Just a tidbit of info: Every single progress post averaged about 3 hours to make. These comments of people getting use and enjoyment out of this thread makes it all worth while! I'm actually touched.
VS: not sure what I'll make the slime blower out of. Still very much in the research phase of that. Not much is conducive to making it out of styrene except the little boxes, but that might even be cheaper and easier to use tin flashing or sheet metal. Weight reduction will be the main factor. For the tanks I'm thinking of using bollard covers. They are the plastic rounded top sleeve covers that go over those concrete pylons in parking lots or in front of stores.
Funfact is; i've just recently stumbled across a pretty interesting thread over at the RPF, regarding constructing very impressivly shaped and seamlessly rounded helmets from styrene, using some very innovative pepakura-based-technique. Maybe you haven't heard from that already (might have happened from one styrene wizard to the other) and this could be helpful with you upcoming project, so please take a look at:
