Soooo, Halloween's coming up, and I need a quick costume withing the next week. My first thought was the Dead Rising lego head, combined with either a motocross jacket, or a bloodied shirt and frying pan.
I only found one, which I think was produced by Rundown, but I noticed the proportions were slightly off, the upper face of the main cylinder doesn't quite go horizontal, and the "rounded" edges were rather angular.
I'm back at Uni now, so I don't have access to my fibreglass and Isopon, so I need a much higher resolution model. Ended up making one in 3DS Max 2014 this morning (Took about 2-3 hours, since I've never used 3DS Max, let alone any other 3D package in the last 8 years. I used official dimensions, and gave the cylinders 36 faces (Rundown's only had 18), chamfered the very top "bobble", and included a small lip on the lower cylinder in case that ends up resting on your shoulders rather than the top of your head. The opening is about 65% the width of the model, so at its current 320mm scale, the opening is 208mm.
Anyway, the reason for me posting this is that I've exported it into Pepakura Viewer, but I have almost no experience with unfolding files. I've onlt ever re-sized them and re-arranged them on the pages for a better fit, but never actually split the 2D nets up if they occupy more than a whole page.
Here's a link to the file if anyone wants to have a go at further unfolding it (It'd help me so much!).
Here are some of the screenshots.
