not sure why but this clip embeds why I am a fan on this channel, everything is explained in such detail, you are getting good at this commentary video thing, amazing work, the only guy on TH-cam who made me look at Fallout- many tried!
Thanks a bunch, my friend! Yeah, my best friend said she liked the personality of this video, so it's getting there. Eyyyyyy Fallout, particularly Fallout: New Vegas, is an amazing game and I highly recommend.
Thank you so much for making these videos, I’ve always wanted to try this but have always had trouble following along but your videos are perfect combined with the fact i just beat new Vegas for the first time, thank you so much for the inspiration!
if you wanted to fix fogging you could of potentially had the tube go into the mask and add small holes in the tube as a way breath out/away from the lens or you could of poked a few holes in the air filter on the front
I did all of that stuff, still didn't work. In the ones I make now for commissions, I just cut a circular piece of a screen door and use that for the mouth piece.
I like to make all my props myself, but watching your videos and seeing the props you make, i have actually considered buying some of these for my cosplays. I tip my hat to you, sir!
I do too, it's a great learning experience, especially with stuff like this helmet, which I couldn't make a digital pattern for. Eyyyyy well, my shop's always open and I do take custom orders! Eventually, I'm gonna open a Patreon page and those who donate a certain amount will get a special discount, too. :D Thanks, my friend!! I tip mine right back at ya!
The only real problem I have with the helmet is the front mouth piece of the helmet I just feel like it's a bit short but everything else is stellar you just earned a new sub
Dude, subscribed just for your jokes! Don't get me wrong, love how the helmet turned out and how you know where you screwed up, etc, but the jokes were brilliant :D I'm thinking about building one myself, but to turn it into a welding mask, with a respirator. The idea with velcro straps is brilliant too! Keep it up dude!
Aiiiii it's me again as I said like a million times I'm here from shad and this is so so so gooooood I love your vids and you deserve like many many many more subs I started to send your link to friends and discord servers because I think you deserve more so you get free advertisement I guess?
You could eliminate the fog problem by putting a nose cone in the mask! The nose cone is the rubber bit you see on the inside of gas masks like the Israeli Civilian Mask (to provide a cheap 30 dollar example off the top of my head.) Its a comfortable and convenient solution, and you could ether salvage the parts for it off of an Israeli civilian mask from eBay (doesn’t matter if it’s used, so long as it creates an air seal) or you could try to make your own stand in out of foam!
Actually (I cut this part out when editing), if I were to redo this thing, which I am, someone commissioned me to make one a couple days ago, I was gonna try putting a wire mesh frame on the breathing filter. The fogging of the lenses was something I failed to consider when first making this helmet. But then again, I've only ever made one other helmet and it wasn't completely closed.
@@QuantumLeapCosplay Oooo~ I hope that goes well! I'd love to see the results! I don't have a source of income right now so I can't practice on my own projects right now, but I would love to see what you make!
Thanks! I hope so too, that's gonna be someone else's after all. I don't know if I'm gonna make a video on it since I already did, but I'll post pictures of it on my Facebook and Instagram. We've all been there, I was unemployed from May through August last year and it only just finished taking its toll on my finances and I can finally start saving up again. Although if this channel sees success soon (which I believe it will) then hey, that takes care of that.
Very cool video! :D I don't know if you have heard of the channel Punished Props - but your videoes remind me of theirs c: I hope you get as big as them! :D
Thank you, friend! Yes I have! They're on my featured channels list and I'm part of their PropTarts of Punished Props Academy group on Facebook. They do? Wow... That's... Quite reassuring and encouraging. Thanks! :) I hope so too, I fully intend to make this channel a legit career.
What did you use for gluing the helmet together? I’ve tried using superglue which works pretty well but when I finished forming the two halves it left a lot of jagged edges and there was a lot of space between the two
Yeah, I wanted to do that too, but I wasn't in a position to do so at the time. Get them LED strips, wrap them in packaging foam to diffuse the light, then tape/glue them to the inside of the lenses on the foam there.
My original intent was, but not only was the coat kinda crude (I'm extremely new to sewing) but the whole video was more or less repeating the same thing and would get boring. I'll probably make the coat again, though. Maybe that will make a video, we'll see.
I'll tell you this, though. I bought a pre-made pattern for a woman's trench coat for like, $2. I modified that pattern to make it look more like the coat you see in the video. The coat is made of synthetic linen (real linen is expensive asf) and I used a sewing machine to stitch it up.
You could go to goodwill/Your local thrift store and get a coat for like 2-6 Dollars and if it doesn’t have the flaps and everything just get some fabric and sew it on
Hey, first time viewer and *potential* cosplayer. I was wondering if this could also work with a gas mask and a motorcycle helmet rather than foam and cardstock. Also, love the vids (as well as the puns).
Sometimes, you have to work with what you have. I've always (literally always) made something from scratch if I could help it, so I wouldn't know for sure if a gas mask in conjunction with a motorcycle helmet could work, but you can certainly give it a shot. You have to start somewhere. My first cosplay was McCree from Overwatch, and almost everything I wore was store-bought apparel.
The rifle is 57 inches long; I used the length of the actual real-life rifle it's based off of to get that length. As for the helmet, I did literally everything by trial and error, but I will tell you this. Measure the distance between your eyes and use that length for the pentagon's total width. That's how I started. From there, it's all trial and error.
Nice! Send me pictures of it when it's done please! Actually, I just duct tape the tubing to the foam strap on the back of my head, but that was because I didn't have time. If I did, I would have made a little foam gas tank cylinder type thing snd stuck the tube in that.
Yeah, I made it using synthetic linen. You can also use real linen (though it’s expensive), canvas, burlap, or synthetic leather. I took a woman’s trench coat pattern, modified it, and stitched all the pieces together with a sewing machine. I highly recommend getting a sewing machine, it’ll save you a TON of time. You can also hire someone on Etsy to make one for you if you don’t want to tackle the task of making one yourself. Hope this helps!
I was being sarcastic too. xD I did want to put LEDs behind the lenses and have the button on the right side of the helmet, kinda like how you see it work in Fallout: New Vegas' opening cinematic, but I didn't really have time to wait for the LEDs to be sent to me.
Depends on your definition of flimsy. Obviously, they wouldn't function as gear to protect your head, but for its intend purpose (like going to conventions while wearing it), its toughness is adequate. You can soak the foam in casting resin or wrap it in worbla go give it a hard shell if you like. I typically don't, but you may be more comfortable with a stronger costume piece that I would.
My videos are more entertainment-focused. Plus, armor is almost always a game of trial and error. Having the ability to improvise in cosplay is very useful.
Oh the nostalgia. The work you put into your builds and videos are crazy. You deserve so much more subs!!
Nostalgia, indeed. Played this game SO MUCH in the middle and high school years.
Thank you! Detail is important and more subs will come, I know it.
Quantum Leap Cosplay question where did you get the red film for the lenses for the helmet
The "fan" is the filter. The think on the front is a speaker and a spot to plug a canteen into
Yeah, you may be right. I couldn’t find any sources telling what was what.
@@QuantumLeapCosplay its based on the m48 gas mask

As a Fallout New Vegas Fan i approve
Whew! Thank you sir, you ROCK!
Thank you. Im going to be doing this outfit for Halloween/comic con. Keep it up man
Thank you, friend! Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for making these videos, I’ve always wanted to try this but have always had trouble following along but your videos are perfect combined with the fact i just beat new Vegas for the first time, thank you so much for the inspiration!
Heck yeah, friend! Congrats on that too, New Vegas is the best of the best.
Make that helmet, yo! I got faith in you 👊
if you wanted to fix fogging you could of potentially had the tube go into the mask and add small holes in the tube as a way breath out/away from the lens or you could of poked a few holes in the air filter on the front

Working on a ncr ranger cos play
youve got a competator. Ashen warrior props is getting ahead lol
Tell Ashen Warrior Props to follow their dreams!
The only real problem I have with the helmet is the front mouth piece of the helmet I just feel like it's a bit short but everything else is stellar you just earned a new sub
I disagree with you on that, but hey, you can make yours however you please!
Thank you, friend! You're gonna be in this for the long haul!

Good to know! Thank you, man.
Go for it!! This could be a whole new passion for you!
This is great you will be a successful TH-camr and I subscribed
Dude, thank you so much my friend! You are in this for the long haul.
I sure hope so. I'm striving for making this channel a career.
You should now make the ncr veteran ranger chest piece
I will soon, but I think I'm gonna do the overcoat first. Been itching to learn how to sew for a while now.

What did you use for gluing the helmet together? I’ve tried using superglue which works pretty well but when I finished forming the two halves it left a lot of jagged edges and there was a lot of space between the two
Contact cement, baby! Works wonders on foam.
I usually only use superglue for really tiny pieces like rhinestones, but that’s just me.
realy cool but i would like it if u made onother vid u of this but with more detail
Wouldn’t we all? Haha
Hey I’m doing this for my cosplay but I was wondering if I can use a bike helmet as a part to a toy helmet because that’s all I have
Work with what you have, man! Adapt and improvise. Make it YOURS.
I was thinking of trying this but with red leds behind the lens. Do you have any tips?
Yeah, I wanted to do that too, but I wasn't in a position to do so at the time.
Get them LED strips, wrap them in packaging foam to diffuse the light, then tape/glue them to the inside of the lenses on the foam there.
Could you possibly make a tutorial on how to make the over coat? I’m not willing to buy a 200$ premade coat
My original intent was, but not only was the coat kinda crude (I'm extremely new to sewing) but the whole video was more or less repeating the same thing and would get boring.
I'll probably make the coat again, though. Maybe that will make a video, we'll see.

@@QuantumLeapCosplay Thanks, got kinda bored after school and just got the random thought of cosplaying out of sheer boredom.
Why in the hell do you not have over 1 Mill subs
That's what I was thinking too! xD
Hi Quantum, I’m trying to build this and the Anti-Materiel Rifle myself, is there any way I can get the measurements for the pieces and stuff?
The rifle is 57 inches long; I used the length of the actual real-life rifle it's based off of to get that length.
As for the helmet, I did literally everything by trial and error, but I will tell you this.
Measure the distance between your eyes and use that length for the pentagon's total width. That's how I started. From there, it's all trial and error.
Quantum Leap Cosplay thank you so much dude
No problem! And hey, when you finish something, send me pictures of it!! I'll give you a shout out at the end of a tutorial video!
Quantum Leap Cosplay I sure will.
Hi im building this helmet myself and taking inspiration from your video but may I ask how do you hide the tubing in the back?
Nice! Send me pictures of it when it's done please!
Actually, I just duct tape the tubing to the foam strap on the back of my head, but that was because I didn't have time.
If I did, I would have made a little foam gas tank cylinder type thing snd stuck the tube in that.
@@QuantumLeapCosplay thanks I'll be sure to take that as a consideration
When I'm done I'll be sure to send it :)
Sweet! :D
@@QuantumLeapCosplay also do you use a 10mm or 4 mm foam for your helmet?
(The helmet part not the mask)
The base of the helmet is all 10mm.
Only some of the detail on my right side has thinner foam pieces.
Do you know how to get the ranger coat or how to make it
Yeah, I made it using synthetic linen. You can also use real linen (though it’s expensive), canvas, burlap, or synthetic leather.
I took a woman’s trench coat pattern, modified it, and stitched all the pieces together with a sewing machine. I highly recommend getting a sewing machine, it’ll save you a TON of time.
You can also hire someone on Etsy to make one for you if you don’t want to tackle the task of making one yourself.
Hope this helps!
Quantum Leap Cosplay yeah thanks when I’m finished can I send you a picture of the final product :)
But did you put night vision optics and a gas filter?
Do I look like I'm made out of money to you? XD
@@QuantumLeapCosplay It was sarcasm, how can you put sci fi electronics in such a small space
I was being sarcastic too. xD
I did want to put LEDs behind the lenses and have the button on the right side of the helmet, kinda like how you see it work in Fallout: New Vegas' opening cinematic, but I didn't really have time to wait for the LEDs to be sent to me.
Are foam helmets flimsy?
Depends on your definition of flimsy.
Obviously, they wouldn't function as gear to protect your head, but for its intend purpose (like going to conventions while wearing it), its toughness is adequate.
You can soak the foam in casting resin or wrap it in worbla go give it a hard shell if you like. I typically don't, but you may be more comfortable with a stronger costume piece that I would.
Si
I need help ?
Ask away, friend! What do you need?
Kinda hard to follow the tutorial
My videos are more entertainment-focused. Plus, armor is almost always a game of trial and error. Having the ability to improvise in cosplay is very useful.
