I want to make a helmet in order to use it for just photography. So, it will be a prop.
How can I build a helmet?
I youtubed it and I only saw the results of how to paint a helmet...

papier mache on a balloon?
if you aren't artsy enough to figure that out yourself then you will be cheaper just buying one. rent one possibly?
go to goodwill and spend the 2 dollars on a helmet. WTF man.

buy one at the thrift store for 50 cent
scrap off the mites and it's good to go

Just buy a used helmet there fucking you twink

If your time is literally worthless, paper mache or papercraft. If you find the right template, the papercraft one could wind up fantastic, but expect to spend hours.
Otherwise, go to a party store and buy a cheap prop for a few dollaroos.

Ask someone who rides (or better yet, races). If they've been riding for more than 5 years, they probably have two or three laying around they'll give you.
I usually donate my old wrecked helmets to the fire/emt district for training.
you know, I'm really glad to see that /diy is finally beginning to get a grip on common sense and reality sometimes, when people ask idiotic questions of "how do I make X", and the only sensible answer for their purpose is "just buy one, you idiot".
the replies in this thread are extremely good to see.

Dude. Garage sale your ass off. These old helmats are everywhere
Melt a pot full of plastic and then pour it over your head. quickly dunk head in water to prevent burns. Pop off the custom fit cap and trim edges with your sisters curling iron....PROFIT!
If your time and life is literally worthless you can probably make one out of various panels stitched or band-aided together but it all depends on what you have available

What do they do with them when you donate?

probably practice taking them off a crash victim

also you are super retarded if you try to make one, i got a helmet without a scratch that was 5 bucks from goodwill

which may in many cases also involve practising cutting the helmet apart, for those with spinal injuries where you shouldn't just pull the helmet off the head, but split it in half a lift the two pieces away. .

Define "build a helmet"
If you want a prop of a motorcycle helmet, just buy a motorcycle helmet.
If you want to make a fantasy or science fiction helmet then there are a lot of resources out there.
