Space Balls Costume Help

[spiderken17]

I have a costume party to go to in a few weeks and I want to go as a Spaceball (the guys in white suite with a ball helmet).
I am having trouble finding a globe-type thing to use as the helmet. I've done a few searches and have found post globes that people use but they are in the US, I cannot find anything in Aus.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could use?

you could always try buying a cheap world globe, cut out the right size hole and spray paint it white. use some foam or bubblewrap to pad it out to wear.

Buy a cheap beach ball/yoga/exercise ball and paper mache it. Cheap and easy.

If you're keen enough, you could try sculpt-building your own helmet from scratch from foam or latex. I've seen people do some amazing things costume-wise with foam and/or latex.

If it doesn't work out you could always try going as the busty waitress that Jon Candy can't stop staring down the top of :p

I didn't take one but I will try and get one from someone on the night.

Classic.. bit of question.(while we're on the subject) I watched Spaceballs about 2 months ago. During the merchandising scene, "Spaceballs the lunchbox" appeared to have the back of a g1 Transformers box as the picture on it (the one with Metroplex in city mode)
I watched again a few times on youtube but i just couldn't be sure. Anyone know? If not it looks damned close.

If you look closely a lot of the products in that scene is all transformer stuff with spaceballs slapped on it
