    Default Space Balls Costume Help

    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
