    Enlarging plastic piece for helmet visor

    On eBay, I found this great plastic piece (from a Lego set) to use as the helmet visor for one of my customs... but when it arrived, it is too small. Needs to be about 1/3 bigger, I'd say. Any advice on how to do this? Or better yet... would anyone be willing to offer their talents in this area in exchange for financial compensation?

      Thanks for they reply! Sorry my original description was a bit vague. I can see where more context would be helpful.

      I am working on a custom of a character named The Hound, who wears a helm styled like a dog. Here is an animated GIF of his helmet in action:




      My plan was to use a Lancelot helmet and add the dog visor piece fashioned from the head of Fluffy, the Lego minifig from Harry Potter. It is not 100% apparent in this picture, but the styling between the two is remarkably close.



      But unfortunately, the Lego piece is a bit too small. It's about 3/4" wide, when it needs to be about 1" wide.

      So again, can anyone provide advice or assistance here? I know the Customs section has some tutorials on casting and enlarging, but those are for heads. Would you even do this the same way? This is a whole new world for me.
