Hey everyone, since making this video I've changed some of my preferred paints. You can check out my current favourite paints and supplies on my Amazon page (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/lostwax

Your tuts are always amaze ball and hilarious. Thanks for being awesome!

I love your videos!! They're useful, fun and very clear. Excellent patterns and ideas!

Thank you so much for the patterns, I'll start working on mine today!

This is a perfect starting point on the Inquisitor helmet from Dragon age! Thank you for this awesome video.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the great plans, and I love the video too. We are having a Viking party next weekend and I made 4 of these. Everybody has to bring a bottle of wine and the best outfit will win all the bottles. These helmets are really going to give us a good shot at the loot!

SWEET! just what I needed, well it actually solved a problem I was having with a project I'm working on and found the solution in this vid thanks! I'm so getting this pattern,com on who doesn't need a viking helmet? you total rock thanks!

Just wanted to let you know how awesome this pattern is! We purchased it and used the it to make 4 helmets and shields for a winter canoe race in Kenora , Ontario we just participated in. They were a big hit with the crowd and stood up well to the elements and rigor of a race. I think they helped us channel our inner Vikings because we WON! Thanks soooo much!

You are an awesome guy and dad! Love your videos. So inspirational and much fun to watch. Greetings from Austria!

cool concept i like it you can actually stop at anytime of the build and you will have many diffrent helms

Love these tutorials! You definitely need to these more often.

great video, your tutorials and patterns are always great!

Chris, your so imaginative and creative! I loved the opening sequence. Your work is amazing! And I just wanted to say that your steam punk hat video is what inspired me to start "making stuff." :) So thank you so much!!

So I purchased this pattern from you and made three helmets for my buddy's annual Viking Costume Party... Love the pattern and your videos! Keep it up, I'm already planning next years Halloween costume (I usually do 2-3 costumes and go pretty big) and I'm probably gonna use some of your plans for that too. One thing I added to this helmet was a metal wire around the outside (beneath the foam band) to help with a more of a custom fitted shape.

Yep, I have been using hot glue almost exclusively for the last couple of years and love it. It is really helpful if you have a glue gun with adjustable temp so you can keep the glue as cool as possible- less burnt fingers, and less time to hold sections together until it cools. Also here's a little vid about getting smooth seams: kzread.info/dash/bejne/faWJ2qOIea-7nrA.html

i like your voice! it's very kind!

Wow, impressive, only 26 comments about viking horns out of 153, that must be some kind of record, usually it's well over half. Really awesome build! All of your work is great, keep it up!

darkest3angel3 Well they used horns as, well, horns, like the instrument kind. But when one was found next to a helmet it was assumed that it was part of a helmet and not as an instrument.

Where do you find the foam to make the helmet part? Craft foam is easy, but I can't figure out what you use. It looks like the floor mats from the gym, but thinner. Help? Thanks!

Great tutorial! But I always wonder about how you make the patterns, it looks kinda complicated. So do you have any tips on how to make your own patterns?

AWESOME :)

Video ist gute Arbeit 👍🏻

you know it took long cause at the end he grew a beard

How thick is the foam you are using for the helmet ? great tutorial

Cool...Chris! Now where do u get a big rubber mat???

sweet

i wanna look like a dovakhiin, looks perfect, got the beard already, just need the longer hair

That's awesome :) How do you come up with this stuff?

Where did you learn to make patterns? There amazing! :)

I like to use vinyl pads for my rivets. I get them at Ace Hardware.. cheap and uniformed. o bad smell to deal with like epoxy.

Where do you get the thicker foam?

An easier way to do rivets is to superglue googly eyes onto your piece. Perfect shape.

Love the tutorial!! Quick question, did you apply mod podge over everything after completion or just leave as is?? I'm on the final steps and just need to apply my metallic luster. So far it's been an amazing and fun project. Thanks again!!

You can do either, If you are just gonna wear it once or twice, you could just leave it. The metallic paste will wear off over time, so I like to apply a layer of mod podge after it is all finished.

how long have you been making things

Could u make some sky rim style arm our ?

Can you make an armor?

I used one of your patterns about 4 weeks ago to make a top hat, and after a lot of searching for cheap foam, I found a diamond plated foam floor mat at Walmart. It was HUGE, and I thought..."that's a lot of top hats." So I bought it. Glad to see you're using the same stuff. So my questions for you are: Your videos are so professionally done, do you have someone that helps you write a script, film, and edit? I'd love to see a behind-the-scene video. And do you have another side job, besides the things you sell on your website and your patterns? And where can we find you're upcoming podcast?And about this video... I have no need for a Viking helmet, but this was so hilarious and oozing with awesomeness, that I just can't help reconsider. Hey, a Viking helmet can come in handy, right?

+Jennifer Clark Thanks for your awesome comments and questions,.

Here's an idea for you. Plague doctor mask. I'm thinking like the one worn by Plague Knight in Shovel Knight. All patterns I've found don't go under the chin like his, and I would like this style to complete my collection of plague masks.

HI there, If you email me at lostwaxozcontact@gmail.com I can help you out.

OK guys! Everyone knows that Vikings didn't had horns on they're helmets! So now that everyone knows you so intelligent and wise, just make the helmet without horns. It is made to be a fantasy costume item not an accurate historic reproduction !

I hate hot glue! not really, but I sort of do after doing the main part of the helmet with just hot glue! is the reason for not using contact cement just the toxic fumes aspect? it was so much easier on the other projects, after this on I might make it again with contact cement and just wear my respirator. I can't believe you got your horns to work with the hot glue lol, I have ripped mine apart 4 times now to start over.

@LostWax

8 жыл бұрын

+Christine Virginia Yeah. Contact cement is way easier to work with. If you can do it outside you are alright, but I just can't think doing it inside even with a respirator can be good for you. I guess I have been rethinking a lot about chemicals since my son was diagnosed with leukaemia. You just don't know what they are doing to you….. Hey the one good thing about hot glue is if you mess up, you can heat it up with a blowdryer, and it all comes apart:)

@christineschihuahuas

8 жыл бұрын

+Lost Wax I only use the contact cement outdoors (for safety of my kids and because the flammability issues scare me too), but I have asthma so I wear the respirator anyways. sorry to hear about your son I will keep him in my prayers :( I didn't even think about reheating hot glue! Will it work with the high temp stuff? if not I will have to get a low or multi temp glue gun, since all I have right now is high temp.

+Big Bad Wolf The foam I am using here is my favourite stuff in the world. I got it at Canadian Tire (in Canada) but I have seen the exact same stuff just with a different brand in Australia, so I guess it is probably available in other places.

+Lost Wax when you see a medieval style helmet with horns you emmidietaly think viking, or skyrim! Me being quite a viking fan 'hate' all 'viking' helmets with horns as they keep spreading the wrong message about vikings. And this I'd say is more a roman style helmet with horns, vikings did not have neck guards nor cheeck guards, although some had chainmail down protecting the neck, and very few had chainmail covering the the whole face, except the eyeslits. Although chainmailed helmets were considerably more rare as they were obviously more expensive than without chain. :)

@LostWax

Yep, generally once you glue something together with the hot glue, if you try pull it apart, the foam will rip rather than the glue. The great thing is that if you mess up, you can heat up the seam and unglue it to try again. Just don't leave it in a hot car.....
