This is the best video you ever made. It's really interesting to see you go through the whole process. It seems like a lot of work but very fun to do. Especially the painting side of it. How long does it take you in real time to do from start to finnish ? Have you ever thought of designing a suit from scratch as in a custom one ? Also where do you get that mini saw blade from ? Sorry for all the questions ha ha ha

Thank you! Thought I'd try for a comprehensive tutorial type video. Not sure how long it would take me, as the filming and everything adds so much time. Depends how much filling etc you have to do and for that all to dry, drying time is the big killer, same with the paint layers, at least 24 hours between coats at least. Could probably do it in a week (with FT work as well), with nice evenings to paint and the weekend. Not thought about adding another clone to my costume list yet. You can get the little saw blades from Amazon, something like hobby saw blades

Thank you for this video, your idea on magnet face attachment is great, I was looking up ideas for mine. I am doing a 3D printed model, so I have a lot more cracks than the resin design, but I think it will turn out well. Cheers!

Thank you, yeah the magnet way is great, I've seen both front and back plates made to be the removable part. Know all about the 3d print smoothing 😄 working on some now in fact 😵

I just came from Instagram and I'm so impressed. This is awesome!!! Unfortunately, I'll never be able to recreate this 😂

Hey! Thanks so much for the helpful video. I have the same exact helmet and I also have a noggin way too large for the opening. Now that its been a while, how has the removed faceplate and magnets held up? Is there anything you would do differently?

@BucketheadStudios

Жыл бұрын

Glad it was of help! Actually, an addition I still need to do is add more magnets at the bottom, as with the neck seal it pops the faceplate away with head movement

What kinda filler were you using? The blue colour looked cool!

Thanx for helping me with painting my helmet! Do You know which primer i should use for eva foam helmet?

@BucketheadStudios

Ай бұрын

You should prime with a flexible primer, flexbond or plastidip are popular ones. Plastidip is in a spray can so may be easier to obtain and apply

Hi, I'm in the process of building my own helmet from Sanotized creations and I have a few questions. You did a really good job with the helmet, so I wanted to know if I could contact you personally if I had any further questions. but first my most important question: how did you live the grid to the attached details?(16:50) Sorry you skipped that in the video. It would be very nice of you if you could help me. Greetings from Germany✌🏻❤

I use the same mesh as for the teeth section and cut it into a circle. You can pattern the circle with masking tape and then transfer to the mesh. Can cut with scissors. Doesn't have to be too accurate, it's quite forgiving at the edges once you add some weathering. If you'd like to dm any more questions, best to message me on my Instagram @buckethead.studios much more likely to see messages over there 🙂

If you buy a vac formed kit and an unfinished resin helmet, probably about £800, then time and finishing materials to get it wearable

Does that Clone know you stole his helmet?
