Tutorial on how I went about creating my helmet.
Didn't actually take many photos during the actual process, but I hope this helps everyone that's thinking about cosplaying Doc Scratch.

and i had a question, if i purchase a clear globe and paint them, would my eyes be showing where i left the view strip?

Honestly, it's become common practice among scratch cosplayers to simply keep their helmets off unless their taking a photo (which I usually end up doing because when I'm not getting a photo taken I'm busy busy busy).
No but seriously, It's actual nicely ventilated and breathing is a non-issue.
I would like that the headcase would be something from, let's say, a bicycle helmet! That's what I'm planning on using.
Flipping it about has served me well thus far.
It looks like you cut it, but how do you figure out what size/what do you use to cut it?
I don't think you can buy a globe without a pre-cut hole, but if you can then DON'T. If you try making your own hole without having a pre-cut base to work off of you'll run the risk of splitting the globe apart or cracking it.
The size of the hole varies on the person. Use a plastic cutting dremmel to cut out the hole in the bottom of the globe.(Make sure to wear a mask and be safe. It's toxic.) Start with a hole that is around 6 inches across in diameter. (You can make the hole bigger if this is too small. (Though, you don't want to make it to big or you will loose the globe effect.) If you can find out the circumference of your head by some manner then you can take that and trace it down onto the globe. (I hope that helps somewhat?)
