super star destroyer
Would be great to make it indeed
Holy crap!!! your tutorials are truily amazing and you deserve FAR more subscribers than you have now!
@@jmaster3876 Oh that's nice thank you Jmaster387!!
Super Star Destroyer.
It's weird that this video is 2 years old yet feels like it was posted like a week ago. It's still an amazing video and prop.
Watching the video again and I was wondering, if you haven't already done it yet, could you make the Executor, Vader's (second, after the Devastator from A New Hope) flagship from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi? Also a fun fact about the Executor: Did you know that the Executor originally wasn't for Vader? It was originally going to be for Grand General Cassio Tagge, as a replacement after the destruction of the Annihilator, but near its completion, a rogue Imperial named Cylo, attempted to take over the dreadnought, and attempted to assassinate the Emperor. Cylo was killed by Vader, and as a reward, Palpatine gave Vader the Executor and her fleet, Death Squadron. Vader, having more authority than Tagge, killed the Grand General.
never new plain cardboard boxes could become so awesome and detailed
That's a nice compliment!
Fantastic work, its only a matter off time before you blow up an become a huge youtuber my friend
Thank you x THANOS! I hope you're right! :)
hearing this from thanos, i fear you are going to literally blow up... F's in advance
@@darthmemeious9526 Haha thank you very much Darth Memeious!
It's only a matter of time before his DEATH STAR blows up..
What can I say Raphael, That is the best Death Star I ever seen. Yet out of cardboard. Doesn’t cost much. With patience, the project is rewarding. Keep up the excellent posts. Right now I’m ready to do the Millennium Falcon. Amazingly, your cardboard creations are huge. I love that. Perfect time during the Covid-19 quarantine.
That's a really nice compliment Anthony! Thank you!! 🙏 Indeed as we're pretty much all stuck at home it's a great time to make these, even for me actually lol I have more time than ever to make new things which is, I would say for me, the bright side of this situation!
Your templates are so easy to use, while many others make them so unclear! Thank you so much for providing such quality ones!!
Thank you very much John! I truly appreciate it as I put a lot of efforts into them!
Where can you download the templates from pls?
This is so cool!
Haha thank you very much Matt!! From you it means a lot! 🙂And soon these tutorials will be in 4k... lol
I love your building things i built the x-wing and the tie fighter
thx to you I was able to make 2 death stars. Thank yooooou so muuuuuch
So glad to hear that Dumdum2565!! 😃
No way I did this and now I have showed all my friends just fantastic work
So glad to hear it Broken Cloud! Thank you!
Simplemente genial es increible tanta genialidad eres un genio realmente increible !!!!!!!
That's a really nice compliment! Thank you Walter Picco!!
That's great idea, this is very time-consuming project, but it's very cool, i like Star Wars, and I have hope there will be more such projects
Thank you Dragon Master! Don't worry there will be more ones from Star Wars ;)
Ya
I’ve been watching you for a while now and my, you never cease to amaze me, your props/builds are always amazingly accurate to the real thing and the tutorial videos for them are always a treat to watch, trust me, it’s like candy for our eyes, ha. Keep it up!
haha thank you so much for this comment Solar Flare Productions!! Which part of it do you prefer? I'm just curious :)
Epic Cardboard Props now that’s a hard one, I don’t really know if I can decide on that, ha
Dude this is a great talent .
No matter how people seee , keep doing your art....
That's nice thank you Grace!
ive seen creative and ive seen creative..THAT IS CREATIVE!
Haha Thank you very much richard bradley!!
THIS IS SO COOL!!! My second son is a product designer in the entertainment world and he gets to play with stuff like this and make fun things regularly. Had I known of his major when it was my turn at college, I would have done this, too. But with help like this from you, I have a tiny opportunity to craft something so fun with my hands and my 15 y.o. homeschooled son as a way cool art project. I was just thinking we would paint an old globe and call it a day, but then I found you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Blessings! :)
Oh that's nice M A, thank YOU! Glad to help! Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!
@@EpicCardboardProps Thank you! :)
Wow man, very impressive
By the way, can u make a mandalorian helmet?🤔
Actually I've been thinking about it for a while! I'll probably do ;)
Now made, The best Mandalorian helmet 😉😁
My Mandalorian helmet is almost finished. This is the next to do. Merci Raphael et bonne chance avec Epic Cardboard Props. Tu est le nr. 1 !
Genial Nicolas ! N'hésites pas à m'envoyer des photos du résultat final sur Insta quand tu as fini ! 😉👍
That is amazing death star .
From start to finish, a joy to watch.My little boy is going to live making this with me
Oh that's sweet! Thank you, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you make it I'll try to help you as much as I can 😉
@@EpicCardboardProps thats brilliant . Thanks 😊
Monstrously LOVE this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video Just Imagine! 🙂
Bloody brilliant! Incredible work.
Thank you veecee27! I do appreciate it
Absolutely blown away by this one. Such an incredible model in the end. All of those hand drawn details! Amazing.
That's nice thank you Chris! I do appreciate it.
Maybe one day I will have the time to do this one. For now I need to finish up my Tie fighter! Thanks Raphael
Glad to help Ludovic! :)
Very Nice !!! I made a zeppelin in cardboard measuring almost 1,5 meters about 35 years ago ..... used it as a lamp .....
That sounds like a really great build! Do you have some pictures of it?
@@EpicCardboardProps hmm i think i do somewhere....polaroid it was in those days....lol i check my boxes and if i do find it you will know.... in your case the Hindenburg would be a nice build.
its so fantastic!!
I'm glad you like it!
Beautiful job.
Thank you so much 😀
I am blown away by the quality of your work and your step by stepo videos! Thanks for sharing. May the Force be with you!
that's a nice compliment Leonor, thank you!! And may the force be with you too! ;)
I’m honestly surprised why anyone would dislike this.This is amazing
That's nice This is The way, thank you!
Awesome Deathstar! Love the detail. To me, it's all in the detail. Can't ever have too many greebles.
Couldn't agree more! :)
I've been getting recommendations for this channel for a while. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
Haha thank you Matthew, I do appreciate it
Thank you very much for these tutorials that you do that are very good. In this missing case the outline of the drawings made in pencil. Thank you
Thanks José! But I explain in the tutorial roughly how to make it, and I show the bases of it too on screen. I couldn't have shown the entire process because the video would have end up to be 1h long lol... and it's not useful, as the idea is to draw a bunch of vertical lines... lol no need of accuracy here (I wasn't at all on this step) 😉
But if you want to watch the entire process, you can sign up to my email list (link in the description box below the video) it's 100% free, then you'll receive an email with a link leading to a time lapse video of me making this build Start to finish. It can help a little!
You're a brilliant 3d impressionist. Absolutely LOVE it...!!!
That's a nice compliment! Thank you Norm G!!
Wow! *Many cardboard props!*
I'm also trying to make things and props, but I can't make like you. *You......really awesome!*
Thank you!! But I'm sur you can make them like me, it's just a matter of practicing, the more you make it the more you'll be good at it 😉 and with my tutorials and templates the work is even easier for you!
@@EpicCardboardProps
*Thanks Ecp* but,
*When I upload such a video, do I have any copyright problem from the original model maker?*
Where has this amazing channel been all my life!
Haha That's sweet thank you Elizabeth 😊
”Impressive. Most impressive”
Haha thank you!
great work
Thank you very much Shadowgamer!!
Wow! I’m totally going to try and make this! I’m just stunned by what this man can do with cardboard!
That's a nice compliment, thank you Andrew! If you make it, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you work on it, I'll try to help you as much as I can 😉
I will try my quarantine to make this....and thanks for the template your explanation is really helpfull too
Glad to hear it peanut butter!! Don't hesitate to ask me you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!
You are doing a great job sir
Thank you!
Artistic AND environmentally friendly!
Well, it doesn't poison you like over half the paints and other chemicals do--!
Haha thank you!
@@EpicCardboardProps You're welcome!
People have NO IDEA how dangerous art really is until you read the ingredients labels on the back of these things. The safest thing to use in art is graphite (besides most non-sticky paper) but even then you can stab yourself! Well, at least graphite isn't poisonous/toxic!
Wow! I really love the broken side for it. It looks fantastic!
Thanks Kyle! I hesitated for a while to make this (instead of making the finished Death Star from new hope which would have been easier to make) but I'm glad I did, the result turned out to be very cool.
I agree! Personally I like the broken one better, because it just looks much cooler in my opinion. Glad you went with this one!
Lol, love your cat. Mine does the same thing when I'm working on my Gundam builds. She insists on setting on my cutting mat while I work. Lucky it's really large. 🐱
Haha strange isn't it? I think they just want us to bring back our attention to them instead of the things we are working on lol
That awesome I love starwars that awesome to watch
Thank you Mark Turnbull! I do appreciate it
@@EpicCardboardProps 👍👍👍
Just finished mine. It turned out so good.
Awesome!! Glad you made it Zns72!!
Just awesome you my friend are a artist 😎🎸👍
Thank you very much Elvis Ciprian!!
A fantastic piece. Well done indeed
Thank you very much Leon Hughes!!
sir... you are amazing you inspire me a lot..,
That's nice thank you!
your cardboard props are amazing!
Thank you so much!
The emperor would be very satisfied with that death star. Maybe AT-AT walker or AT-ST walker next time?
Haha I hope so! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll think about them ;)
I love your work!
Thank you Lawrence Brennan! I do appreciate it
I had so many cardboard boxes in my garage and didn't know what to do with them. Then I came across this cool dude and I am really amazed by his work. You really deserve more views and subs. Keep it up!
That's a nice compliment! Thank you very much Farhan Karimov!!
omg...that is just brilliant..started to make one....
So glad to hear it Rich! Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you make it, I'll try to help you as much as I can!
Will be using this for a fan film project! Thanks for the video and templates!
That's cool Kal S Fox! I'd love to see this fan film of yours when you're done!
dude, WOW. you are SO TALENTED. I have seen other people make props using better materials than cardboard, but they still don't look movie accurate. But THESE, these are made from cardboard and are movie accurate. I am VERY amazed. Well done, and keep up the good work.
That's really nice Jack thank you! I try to do my best to make them movie accurate indeed, which is tricky from cardboard... Lol but I dig the challenge of it ;)
@@EpicCardboardProps thx for the reply ;)
@@jackscofield562 you're welcome!
I saw your video on Tik Tok and I can not wait to try this out! I watched your video and the way you explain things makes me feel like I can comfortably make this! All of your props are way too cool!!
Oh that's a nice compliment Tiffany thank you!
Amazing sir!
Love it very much.......
Thanks for such creative inovation
I too will try to make it...
Love you sir! 😍😍
The amount of effort that gets put into these videos are amazing. With each video you produce, the quality of props you make seem to increase drastically. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! That's a nice compliment Mind Grenade Studios. I try to do my best!
I love it. Next project .... snow walker
Thanks for the request Bryan! I'll think about it.
Another great star wars build, been binge watching your epic videos, got more to watch lol
Haha glad you enjoy my videos!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought “there is absolutely no way he made that out of cardboard I was wrong.
😊 thanks again!!!
Wow just wow! Your an Amazing builder! Keep the great work up.
Thank you! Will do!
I have this dream of building a cardboard 1/100 scale of the archangel battleship from the gundam series and your videos are really amazing and inspiring for me.
Thank you alprince reyes! I do appreciate it
Build the Mandalorian helmet, that would be a challenge.
Actually this one is on my to do list already, just a matter of time LEGO Fandom King!
I love your work, I never thought that doing such things with cardboard was possible until recently when I discovered your TH-cam channel and did Kylo Ren's lightsabre
That such a nice thing to say to me! As this is exactly the goal of what I'm doing here, which is making things from cardboard that you would think it's not possible to make from cardboard. So thank you Faissal's Animation! ;) I do appreciate it. Are you done with Kylo Ren's lightsaber?
@@EpicCardboardProps Yes I did it
wooow so cool i love it !! great job !
Thank you so much!!
You are so talented I can’t believe it
Oh that's nice, thank you Lockick!
I can see this channel becoming really big, I can see you put a lot of effort into these videos too. I subbed
I do appreciate it Wafflem, thank you so much for subscribing and for supporting my work that way!
“Good, Let the *Cardboard* Flow Through You.”
Haha
Awesome
Thanks!!
Looks great! If I might suggest slowing your camera movements down on your final b roll, that way we can have a few moments to actually look at all the details.
Such a cool project!
That's nice thank you Andy!! I'll think about it for the next ones 😉
I have seeing all your video I like
Awesome video thanks! I would like to see a Baby yoda would that would be be really cool!
Haha why not! I definitely think about it, thanks for the suggestion David
It's look's like real👏👏😍

This was Epic! You should make the mandalorian helmet. Keep it up!
Actually this one is on my to do list already, just a matter of time! ;)
Muy bonito e impresionante, me gustaría que hagas la mascara de Darth Vader
Thank you Freddy! This one is on my to do list already, just a matter of time! 😉
Awesome buddy !!!!! Please go for wolverine automatic claws
This one is on my to do list already! ;) That being said they probably won't be automatic though lol as from cardboard it's almost impossible to do unless I use other materials, but it wouldn't be aligned with the topic of this channel anymore. I'll think about it.
@@EpicCardboardProps no problem 😃
Good job 👍
Thanks for the visit! 🙂
Congratulations. You have reached my top ten corona lock-down video channel chart!
Haha glad to hear it Trevor Malcolm!!
Je comprends pas comment tu peux pas avoir plus d'abonné, t'es le plus gros maker carton de la plate-forme et ça sans problèmes, t'as un anglais fluide, j'ai du mal a comprendre que t'ai pas encore les 100000, en tout cas continue c'est de la bombe ! Si j'avais quelques choses a ajouté ce serai de la peinture sur tout tes props, ça te permettrait de sortir 2 vidéos a la place d'une et de peut être flatter l' algorithm, en tout cas bon courage pour la suite !
C'est gentil Wallace, merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire!! En effet ça pourrait être une idée.. le problème par contre c'est que le carton est vraiment pas un bon matériel à peindre, car ça fait ressortir tous les défauts. Mais en tant que video alternative pourquoi pas! J'y réfléchirai ;)
@@EpicCardboardProps Pour peindre je recouvre de kraft qui colle a l'eau et j'évite d'avoir une peinture trop liquide, petit coup de bombe sur le kraft pour avoir un objet près a peindre et j'ai beaucoup moins d'imperfection ! T'as la technique avec le papier de soie aussi. Merci d'avoir répondu, je te taguerais dans la journée sur insta si je peux t'apporter un peu de monde c'est la moindre des choses 👍
@@WALLACE-vg4ny Pas mal du tout la technique ! Je vais essayer ça merci ;) et merci pour le partage ! Ca représente beaucoup pour moi.
Fantastic. Same with the rest, so far. We now need a Falcon Super Heavy, please.
As space lover, I'd love to make it! But it's not really on topic unfortunately, it has to be a movie prop/thing for it to be aligned with the topic of this channel! The space Shuttle was a little exception, and mostly because this one is in many movies.
Wow man, very cool.
Thank you Mike!! Will you give this one a shot? ;)
@@EpicCardboardProps It's tempting, you make it look easy but I know that's not the case. Maybe soon I'll try the Terminator. I've been wanting one to display for a while. Thank you my friend.
@@mike1096 haha maybe I do make them look a little bit easy, probably because I try to make them short (audience retention is a big thing on YT) every step of the process are in them though. But if you're a little bit used to craft things, it won't be that difficult I promise ;) and I'm always there if needed.
Terminator's head is an excellent choice! It's one of my favourite ones to be honest! It's not the easiest but with a bit of commitment you'll be fine without questions! And as I said I'm here if you have questions while you make it.
wow so good so realistic but so hard to build and you need more amazon box to do that
You don't need that much of cardboard actually, the average person would receive enough cardboard from his deliveries in a month. But most people doesn't save them!... 😉
I really dig you enjoy star war's..
I made a storm trooper helmet from cardboard & car bondo. (My avitar pic)..Looks ok & took along time . Template from paprika (I think it's called)..
You sir are on a level we mere mortals can't even fathom..
Awesome death star!!!
Thanks for the kind words Darth Chewch!
Can you maibe try to build a venator star destroyer that you can hang from the cieling?
Maybe Dinosaur drawer, I'll think about it 😉
L’accent français est parfait 👌
Merci ! 😉
