Somewhere along the way a few Martian helmets went missing. They're small and clear and easy to lose. Mantic is pretty good about giving you extras but, even so, I managed to be about 8 short. No big deal as I happened to have some extra clear plastic lying around.
Start with a dowel. I'm not sure how big this one is, probably 1/4".
Sand the end until you have a nice round tip.
Like this.
Then grab some clear plastic. This is from a used salad container.
Apply some heat to soften up the plastic. Not too close or you'll burn it!
Then, slowly, push the dowel into the heated plastic. Make sure you go far enough into it to make a good helmet. I'd say about 1.5 inches. Let it cool down a bit before you remove the dowel.
Then clip it off with some scissors.
Here's shot of a martian with my homemade helmet.
Here it is with the original helmet. Or is it?...
