Top Gun - Helmets

Skully · 18 Mar 2008 at 17:27

Hello!

I have an 80s fancy dress party to go to in two weeks and I am going as Iceman.

What I really want is a flight helmet to go with my outfit to help complete the look!

Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Doesn't have to be exact but something similair would be very useful!

Thanks!

Make one! Paper mache around a bucket!

Just get White a bike helmet and paint it yourself, put on some Raybans and you are done.

If you're able to gt to Leicester, the Army Surplus store sells them, opposite the Shires.

They're also pretty damn expensive too silivermans in london occasionally has them, you'd be looking at £200+

A real aircraft helmet is going to cost hundreds. What about

£5 ??!!?

It's impossible to tell how big it is from the pictures, so it's probably the size of my fist.

If you really want to get into the Top Gun role at this party, should anybody turn up dressed as this fella from RentaGhost

Run over, stab him, then scream "Jester's dead, yeeeehaww!"

hmm yea and the add on the shipping cost ontop of that, its a well known cheat, to get lower listing fees.

Why not just oil up and wear a leather posing pouch with chaps?

You cant have it your way all the time!

I would go with the Papier-mâché over football type thing and paint it.. easy, cheap, doesnt matter when it gets trashed/lost

From the listing

'Your Kid will be the best looking one out there.'

So i would guess it's quite small.

So far making it seems the best option but I think my dog would stand a better chance at making it more realistic than I would!

Not only is it tropical heat, but it looks nothing like a Top Gun helmet!

Nexus · 18 Mar 2008 at 18:42

Fancy Dress rental store near you?

My brother got one for a Xmas party that was a jumpsuit and pilots helmet.
