Just when I thought I had a good grasp on working with L200 you go and teach me something new and different. Thank you very much!!!! :)

Again, this tutorial is so specific. This is a gem to find, most tutorials leave out details assuming you know what to do. Plus you give awesome tips and tricks from working with it for so long. Believe me this does not go unappreciated.

These first two videos are awesome, informative and they don't drag on..Look forward to more!

Huge fan of your videos! What you're doing is incredible, from one artist to another I really appreciate all of the advice and information you put out for us to indulge in! Keep up the good work :)

The most and the best build I have ever found on you tube. Also its the easiest and the cleanest build to. I will be using his idea to make most of the armor an parts I need based on his design idea! Thanks so much Ted!

Very helpful videos. I really like how my costume has turned out so far, but tackling the helmet had me a bit nervous. Your method makes it look easy and now I'm excited to start on it.

Can't wait to see video #3 as painting foam is what I have the most trouble with, especially with a piece that flexes

Awesome as expected. Really looking forward to how to seal the foam, prep and paint :D

Once again Ted awesome work! The helmet looks great. Can't wait to see what you will do on this channel!

Another outstanding video that is down to earth and easy to understand. You rule Sir Evil Ted!

Hi Ted, great video. I'm using your tutorials to make my own foam helmet. I'm having some problems though with the contact cement not sticking together and making a good bond. (I don't use Barge, maybe that's it.) Maybe I should rough up the surfaces before so it has more surface area to glue? Any tips on how long I should wait before trying to glue, multiple coats, etc?

Great dremel tip, Ted. :)

You should paint it blue because it looks like mega man

Do you think its stable enough for me to do an aluminum cast on it

Could you please write the name of the thinner foam that you used.

would this idea with the helmet template also work with a face mask?

i plan on making a similar helmet. now were you put the M piece on the front, i wanted to have more of a horn pieces going straight out. How would i round out the base to fit more properly?

Is the foam you're using, just normla EVA by 11mm? Cause I just found the foam with the profile on the back, but need the ones with 2 flatsides! Are there difference between the hardness ? I'm german, if u said that in the video, i didnt noticed.

do you know how to make a Austrian /german spiked helmet I have been tring to make one for years but am having trouble I tried searching on youtube but no one seems to have a video on this

Hey Evil Ted, I'am having a issue with the paper patterns. (of course paper is thinner than the eva foam mats but I have a sort of issue with making armor that when the foam is cut and you wrap it around the body its to tight or to small. because the foam is thicker. Note: I did not heat up the foam to bend (just for pre-viewing if it fits around the arms). I see I almost use the same technique you use I even use a bit over length for those errors but turns out a bit tight.

This might be a stupid question but do you have to take the space a wig is going to take up into consideration when making a helmet?

I love these videos, the cameraman could be better though :P, but very informative. I can't wait to see more.

Evil Ted, you are the best. Where can I find L 200 foam?! I tried asking at my local hardware store but they just gave me blank looks

Evil Ted Smith I sometimes have small gaps where detail pieces line up. I usually just hide them under more details but was wondering if you had any advice on filling in those little gaps when pieces don't line up just right? Where the forehead of your helmet and the stripe to the back meet what would you do if there was excess space there?
