Sacred Watch Helmet... made of craft foam

Hey guys!
So last Halloween, I attempted make a real Sacred Watch set costume, made of white fabric and craft foam (the process of making armor out of craft foam is called foamsmithing, though not widely known) and a ton of gold paint. Unfortunately I didn’t finish all of it, so the most finished looking piece I have is the helmet, which I just now got to sharing with you all. Lol. All it’s missing is the cloth and scale back, which I hope to add real soon.
It fits my head perfectly. I used a template I made to help cut the foam. I used 5mm and 2mm thick foam sheets, and hot glue to connect the pieces (I take pride in not needing to use fancy glues lol). The crest is made of real horse hair I ordered online.
