Hi, thanks! Unfortunately the templates don't work with cardboard. Check out RJR Productions on KZread. He made a Boba Fett helmet out of cardboard.

All your builds are insanely awesome 👏🏻 Have you thought of making a captain Rex helmet?

To use that gold paint more efficiently first pain the part yellow or orange with normal acrylic paints then apply the gold... Just 1 layer will get the perfect results... Nice helmet :D

@@TristanMaker youre welcome 🙃. But I have a question: What did you do to prevent your helmet from cracking after you applied the clear coat? Or was that an elastic clear coat spray? Or in general, after the modpodge why doesn't it crack? The modpodge isn't elastic, is it?

@dezz1706

And I maybe messed it up by airbrushing the helmet. Instead of using acrylic paint, but we'll see

@TristanMaker

Modpodge is a PVA glue like wood glue but it is much more flexible. Not as flexible as plasti dip but still flexible enough for a helmet. And for the clear coat, it's just a normal clear coat from rust oleum. I found that when you apply it in 1 or 2 thin layers, it sticks really well to acrylic paint and stays just flexible enough to prevent cracking.

@dezz1706

@@TristanMaker ah okay. I used wood glue but without water and acrylic. Maybe that's what caused the cracking. Next time I'll mix it like you did or use mod podge 🤔 I've used a clear coat one time but there it cracked.🤔 I think I just have to experiment a little bit to get the results I want. Thanks for your help ^^

I'm from Canada so I get my foam from True North Cosplay. If you live in the United States, I recommend getting it from TNT Cosplay Supplies or Blick Art Materials.

Super helpful video. Thanks ! Really new to this. Does anyone have any recommendations regarding what foam density to use for the helmets ?

@TristanMaker

2 жыл бұрын

Awesome! For helmets, low to medium density works best because of the compound curves on the dome. For armors or parts that don't need as much heat forming, medium to high density works great. Lower density is easier to work with but higher density is more durable. :)

Yes, you can refer to the sizing chart located in the pictures of the listing on Etsy. Then, follow the printing tutorial video linked in the product description and enter the scale that fits your head size in the program.

Are you able to use a hot glue gun and hairdryer instead of contact cement and heat gun?

@TristanMaker

A hairdryer doesn't get anywhere hot enough. As for hot glue, it is possible but you have to glue small sections at a time and hold the parts together while they dry.
