I was the Rocketeer for Halloween in the third grade. My mom made the helmet from a milk carton. It was bitching. My mom was a boss. I never once had a store bought costume.

Everything is smooth on. For the resin they’re using Smooth-cast onyx

I really love these moulding/casting videos. I want to get into this myself very soon and all of these videos are really informative and make the whole process seem less daunting for a beginner like myself :) Thanks guys!

Pretty awesome technique, thanks for sharing!

my favorite helmet, i made one from scratch with leather, then hardened it and turned out pretty good. Thanks for posting!

That was awesome to watch, thank you! Frank and Volpin are a couple of my favorite prop makers, was stoked to hear Frank mention them.

These vids with Frank are always a treat. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! It truly is inspiring.

I'd like to know more about how to make the mold in great detailed steps. (I may be purchasing a CNC machine, and I can see amazing possibilities)

I love Frank, He's matured so much since his first season of Faceoff. Awesome video. Keep up the good work.

He’s like a totally different person! He was such a jerk on that first season & now he seems like a pretty good guy.

Great to see how you made the helmet. I seen it before, but its always diffrent shapes. Have a nice day

that was super interesting to watch happen. Love this channel.

You could wear a headlamp while doing that to make it easier to see inside the cast. Thanks for the video, Tested!! Great stuff!

Interesting video, thx! You guys also have a video on how to make the fibreglass shell and rubber mold?

That's one clean cast! Nice work, Frank!

Would love to see Frank and Adam do a one day build together

This is an excellent video, very helpful.

Even though I'm from after the rocketeer came to the big screen, I absolutely loved it as a kid. Had a wave of nostalgia and watched the movie again last week and it was amazing after not seeing it for 14 years.

That looks to be a beautiful fiberglass and silicon split mold, any chance of seeing a video on its creation or the creation of a similar mold. The way it joins looked perfect.

It's nice seeing Crouch End on Frank's t-shirt as that's where I live; right next to Nelson's shop! :)

I would love to have a helmet like this. Rocketeer is one of my favorite movies.

I would love to see the whole process for this Helmet Molding , casting and painting

Could you guys make a video about the process behind making the shell and rubber parts?

I saw Harrison do this with a Thomas Daft Punk helmet. Drunk. It was amazing.

these Last videos with Frank are awesome.

Does this technique just work for resin? Or can you do the same with say.. silicone or other materials? For example if I were to make something that has more of a fleshy consistancy that wasn't rigid would this sort of thing work?

Frank, would you ever do a Rocketeer cast just like that and sell it? Would love to finish one to mount in my shop.

I'd be worried about the fin - how did you ensure it was fully coated? Gorgeous helmet.

When I saw the fast house hat I knew you ride dirt bikes. When I saw your crf450r then subscribed because I like that. What year is it?

So does Franks shop have a website you can order casts from?

Would you matrix mold a helmet that has an opening like a magneto helmet?

Great episode Norm and Frank. Always loved the Rocketeer helmet. I'm trying to finish up a parody sketch of Rocketeer unfortunately my helmet don't look like that lol.

Frank, how do you determine volume so you know how much resin to mix for a helmet like this? i understand they get progressively smaller, but how do you come to the 8ounce number for the first batch?

@seanamlaner9241

A typical rotocast setup will use between 1/5 on down to 1/3 of the total volume of the original object. The ratio is also determined by the shape of the object, the use, and how big/small the object is. For example, if it's a hollow rotocast object that isn't a helmet (lets say a foot tall vinyl character), you can use a ratio like 1/5 and then backfill the interior with an expandable foam to ensure the cast object has proper structural reinforcement. If making a helmet, you wouldn't backfill with foam and could go with a ratio of 1/4 or so as a starting point (depending on if you hollow cast in layers or in a single batch). Oh, and an easy way to determine your objects volume is by pouring dry rice into the mold to figure out the total volume, then divide that by the ratio you want to work with, which then gives you the amount of resin to mix (based upon how many separate rotocast batches you will be making on a single mold). Don't figure out the volume by pouring water in your mold, any moisture hiding in corners of your mold will mess up any future casting ;-)

What is the outer jacket made from for this mold?

Would it be possible to fix an accelerometer to a cast, that could record which way it's facing, for how long, and then used that data to run an arduino based three servo jig to repeat the process ?

Why matrix mold this compared to brush on molding? I see a glove mold wouldn't work. Was a matrix used to no seams? Thank you

I love this vids. I have a massive undertaking making a 'metal sonic suit' aka Metal sonic meets iron man. I'm trying to figure out wich silicone to use to cast the initial sculpt. and to do it right since I've spent about 50 pounds of clay on it and over 60+ hours of working on it. Do you guys have a specific silicone you use for casting? and any tips for casting large helmets with it.? And ignore the DrunkCrash plays in my username. I was too lazy to log into my main youtube account instead of posting from this one.

Was there ever a follow up video about finishing the helmet? I haven't been able to find it.

Can you do clear resin with this technique?

What a beautiful mothermold. Very nice

I may have missed it, but what material is the jacket?

Is there a video where they show how they made the mold that they used for this cast? I’d love to see that!

Where's the video of the finishing? Would love to see that!

Love the Winchester Tavern shirt! "Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over."

Frank, I have a tiny toy storm trooper helmet I want to mold. Do you think it needs to be a two part mold instead of a one part? I plan to use silicone for the mold. It's an original storm trooper. I'm sure you are super familiar with that helmet design. I am afraid due to the curve of the bottom of the helmet it wouldn't work as a one piece. Especially since I want to cast it as a solid chunk of silicone when done. Any tips?

@Swarm509

8 жыл бұрын

I'm not a professional by any means but for the mold making and casting I've done I would say give it a go as a single and see how it turns out. You will learn a lot just from making that first mold. The same goes for that first cast (where the air bubbles go, where it pools, how it demolds, etc). If after that you are not happy try a two part mold. Get some extra material and have some fun experimenting.

@SeanOzz

+Swarm509 thanks. Yeah. I just can't see a single mold working on this since the bitten is not flat. Unless maybe I use clay to build a mount under it which could double as a pour in spot as well. Just afraid that one high side would not fill up properly when casting. I might just go for it and see.

I once work in a plastics factory. where the mold was the size of a car, and the oven they came into was about three stories high. The method was the same.

How do you make sure the resin is mixed properly? We tried to do a resin mold and there was a lot that never cured. :-(

If the color isn't enough, or if you're mixing something colorless, then mix and pour into another vessel and mix again. That way there won't likely be anything hanging on the sides of your cup. Also, mix with something flat and square so you can scrape the corners. I use tongue depressors but I cut off the ends so they're square.

love the shaun of the dead reference, frank. Winchester tavern lol. \/\/

Happy 25th Rocketeer

Every hero nowadays has an evil twin. I think it should be painted silver, then have a translucent black/ navy blue gloss over it to give it a black steel perlecent effect with mirrored visor and maybe accent pinstriping in a titanium paint over the top of the fin with some accent pieces would look really cool and put like a midnight silver/ midnight blue clearcoat over the whole thing would look awesome. Give it a burnt titanium like pearlescent look. I have a fondness for pearlescent metallic like colors. Also the burnt titanium look would look really awesome

I was wondering, could it be slosh and not slush? You know, sloshing the casting material around the inside of the mold. Just a thought.

personal favorite is a dremel with a cutting head, and some high grit sandpaper to clean up any edges. Possibly a set of metal working files to clean up the shape if you aren't comfortable cutting all the way to the edge of the eye (sorry its late as fuck, but hope it helps)
