Help with Lord of the Rings fancy dress?

Basically I’m going to a themed event at university and we all have to dress up as Lord of the Rings characters. I was thinking of going as a Gondor soldier but was wondering how I could go about making a helmet, probably out of paper mache and cardboard.
I’m not really much of an arty guy so I was hoping I might be able to get some help lol

I am crafty, and I think it would be hard for me to do!
I would really look around the internet. I found something for a Nazgul helmet–but not really anything for Gondor yet.
The second link is someone who did an Eowyn costume, and I think she found her helmet on ebay.

You might look into posting something online, for someone who might be more crafty and willing to do it for a couple of bucks. Also, you might look into a costume store or theatre shop that does rentals.

I hope you have enough time to get everything together.
Good Luck

This marvelous collector’s piece comes with a removable helmet and hand-numbered certificate of authenticity. Limited edition of 3,000 pieces.. Let Sam stand by you! In J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, Samwise Gamgee, later known as Samwise Gardner or Samwise the Brave and commonly known as Sam, is a fictional character who was Frodo Baggins’s servant and companion on the journey to Mordor. He is one of the major characters in The Lord of the Rings. A gardener by trade, Sam first appears to be an ordinary, working-class Hobbit of plain speech and habits. His interest in the world beyond the Shire (nurtured by his tutor Bilbo Baggins) sets Sam apart from the other more prosaic and homebound Hobbits. In J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy writings, Orcs or Orks are a race of creatures that are used as soldiers and henchmen by both the greater and lesser villains of The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. Orcs also work independently as the common antagonists in The Hobbit, but in that work they are called Goblins. Although not dim-witted and even crafty, they are portrayed as miserable beings, hating everyone including themselves and their masters, whom they serve out of fear. They make no beautiful things, but rather design cunning devices made to hurt and destroy.
