Great build Chris! Just a heads up, you can dissolve scrap pieces of abs in the acetone and use it as a glue/filler for printed parts. Just keep adding abs to the to the mix to get the viscosity you are looking for. I use it on my prints and it works great. My 10 year old daughter says keep up the good work! She's an aspiring builder.
Chris, mate I'm loving the progress with your helmet but I've been paying attention to the turtles. And as I'm typing this you've just mentioned them. Beautiful.
The honeycomb part on the side of the mask. You could put holes through it, and back it with a black mesh/fabric? That would give you some more ventilation/ air.
I would keep with the magnets on the front panel for removal but for the back I would use elastic band that you would use on sweat pants. That way you can take the helmet on and off like and NHL goalie helmet. Love the mesh idea for the sides. A helmet without ventilation is hot as balls!
Will the finished 3D printed pieces be too thin/fragile to mold in silicon and cast in resin? It seems like, if possible, that would be the best way to go.
Hey, Chris, I have a tip for you. Throw your left over pieces of the ABS into a glass jar and melt it into a paste with the acetone. This is a cheaper and more plentiful way of getting your welding solution. Smear the goo on the same way as the paste and you get the same results and get rid of the support materials and failed prints laying around and it sands to the same finish as the ABS because it IS ABS. :D
I have a question about you saying the acetone helps.. did you literally just brush on the acetone to smooth out the lines did you soak it or what? And was the acetone diluted at all what type of acetone is it?
Hey Chris could you do a custom collectible on the hasbro clone trooper helmet cos I've got one myself and it would be cool to see how you would modify it
Just some fan input here, but why not put some white frosted lenses, that you can obviously see through, on the face plate, so that way, when you put it on, it lines up better, slot in style, and when you take off the mask it's an even greater reveal.
IDK if it's part of the final overall piece, but for the red hood symbol I think it shouldn't have the bat ears. Kinda looks funny, but otherwise great work! Love the helmet and can't wait for the final thing.
i got some ideas for the jakks pacific customs like commander fox for the commander cody big fig or iden versio from the new battlefront 2 game with a tie fighter pilot. cool right love you work you really inspired me.
dude awesome helmet!! Can you do a Deathstroke cosplay next please considering the post credit scene in JL I lost it when I saw joe manganiello as deathstroke :O
Christopher just stop it... You're killing me with this unbelievable master craftsmanship. Impressive mate! Keep it up... P.S I'm Red hood man! 😡 Cheers!
The last thing Chris said before leaving my house yesterday was "I'm going to get a bottle of red wine, Then go home and sand my helmet."
Myles you’re #HisBuddyMyles !!!!!
Can u make a wat if green lantern was a samurai
frultimas prime seconded
frultimas prime i think that's something more friggin toy boom would do
ErickTheBadass that is true but they both think different and Chris would probably put more time in it
frultimas prime what makes you say that? They both put tons of effort in they're videos and projects
frultimas prime That's an interesting idea I totally wouldn't be afraid to tackle. 😜
Cannot wait to see the paintjob on this. Looks like it's gonna weather nicely.

Oh shit! You added Leonardo to your collection on your desk. I'm hoping for another video unboxing for Leo!
Chris... You're a BIG 5 year old! Loved the update. Can't wait to see the finished product!
"like a finger in the bum" 😂😂😂😂
i wish it's euron greyjoy reference :D
bee.have Or it might be his bum
oh hell yea chris highlighted my comment!!!!!
I stopped my life for this
Carlos Sanchez damn straight
👏🏻Man that's one sick looking helmet
It looks beautiful mate! My guys did terrific work on that puppy
Was going to suggest some mirrored lenses for the eyes if that's something you'd consider
Chris. It looks awesome. That helmet is awesome. I can't wait to see the full cosplay. It's going to be an awesome Cosplay Chris.
Chris, mate I'm loving the progress with your helmet but I've been paying attention to the turtles. And as I'm typing this you've just mentioned them. Beautiful.
So excited! I'm currently working on a custom Hulkbuster figure with a Two-Face look to it. I'll send you some pics if I can.
The honeycomb part on the side of the mask. You could put holes through it, and back it with a black mesh/fabric?
That would give you some more ventilation/ air.
This was the perfect coffee break, from my Pirate Joker sewing... pinning destroys your back, lol.

That's by far the best helmet I've seen in a red hood cosplay
Daaaamn, man this is one badass design in real life it looks even more amazing
Awesome work so far, Chris!
bru i cant believe that only 205k people have subscribed to this channel you should have at least 1 million

wow! it looks great! also nice Bane impression. 👍🤘
Hey Chris! When did you receive the "LEO" figure which is sitting behind you on the display? Like your videos BTW. Keep up the good work!
Are you going to do lenses in your helmet? If so, how is that going to work with the removable face plate?
Hey Chris, I can see Leo in the background. Waiting for a killer review video. Happy with the statue ?
Good job Chris, I love your vids and your one of my fav youtubes right now next to LM. Keep up the good work :)
Wow! The mask looks great! Can't wait to see the final costume reveal! 😁
Do you know what kind of magnets your buddy ordered? I'm looking to order some as well for a Vader helmet
I have a question about you saying the acetone helps.. did you literally just brush on the acetone to smooth out the lines did you soak it or what? And was the acetone diluted at all what type of acetone is it?
Can u use black lenses like the injustice red hood they're more Snyder than reflective lenses
Just and idea on the side panels maybe some cogwork gears that are gold
Funniest video yet! And damn does that helmet look gooooood.
I cannot stop looking at those turtles 😍
Can't remember, do you plan to make a mold and cast of the helmet?
Looks like a army of two mask.. I love it
Love watching your videos can't get enough
figo! but how did you go about making the right measurements?
I think you should have made a caste for the pieces it takes more work but you can make this much more sturdy for a different plastic or even a metal
Hey Chris. I love your shirt in this bid. Oh I also like your videos. You and your channel got me into cosplay and customs.
Are you gonna add lenses to the eye parts ?
Looking forward to the next custom collectables.
Awesome! You did put air vents!
I'm a simple man, I see Cosplay Chris Road to Red Hood, I like.
cool chris i got a question how front going stick to helemt?
"The turtles are at the techno club ya" 😂😂😂😂
Hey Chris could you do a custom collectible on the hasbro clone trooper helmet cos I've got one myself and it would be cool to see how you would modify it
Yo that shirt is awesome
Just become a Super hero already Chris.
Hey Chris, at any point with the 3d file be available for either purchase or just to share. Would love to print one of these out for myself.
MAN! This helmet looks great.
That shirt is genius
you should do something to have the white eyes on the helmet
So if you smooth with acetone, it's safe to place a top of one's body?
Just some fan input here, but why not put some white frosted lenses, that you can obviously see through, on the face plate, so that way, when you put it on, it lines up better, slot in style, and when you take off the mask it's an even greater reveal.
"Like a finger in a bum" Chris for President 2020
Everybody is gonna be damn jealous, Chris driving around his Red Hood Helmet on the convention 😁
can't wait to see the final thing! it's gonna be so awesome
For a cheaper option you can use scar wax for the J scar. Just a suggestion
The turtles are at the techno club ya-Chris
"Like a Finger in a bum"
its better than I imagined it. I could even see it being modified into a new arkham knight style helmet. What do you think CosplayChris?
I know you might have to redesign everything but what if you added a voice changer
Its looking beautiful!!
"oh you think darkness is your ally?....wrong movie" Hahahaha
After you finish with this red hood cosplay, it would be cool if you would do a Darth Vader cosplay or maybe a Punisher one!
I'd love to see an Ant-man helmet or Ben 10's omnitrix or spiderman's web shooter😅
Btw, great video as always Chris👍
I've never seen a cooler coslpay guy
I lost concentration. That t shirt is awesome!!😂
This is amazing
You should cut out those panels in the front and put mesh there for better ventilation and sound
Why don't you make an Agent Venom variant of Commander Cody, or a Ghost Rider styled Red Hood?
This makes me want to watch Under The Red Hood
IDK if it's part of the final overall piece, but for the red hood symbol I think it shouldn't have the bat ears. Kinda looks funny, but otherwise great work! Love the helmet and can't wait for the final thing.
I have never clicked a video on TH-cam faster than this one
Link for the turtles if they're available for purchase?
i got some ideas for the jakks pacific customs like commander fox for the commander cody big fig or iden versio from the new battlefront 2 game with a tie fighter pilot. cool right love you work you really inspired me.
Will any acetone work or does it have to be a certain kind?
"Dah turtlez are in dah techno club yah?" 😂😂😂
Your T Shirt was a highlight of the video! lol
dude awesome helmet!!
Can you do a Deathstroke cosplay next please considering the post credit scene in JL
I lost it when I saw joe manganiello as deathstroke :O
Damn never knew I needed Chris to do a German club voice so much
This is awesome man! With the helmet side on, I can see Ultron haha, anyone else?
The best cosplay guy
That helmet is insane oh my god
This is seriously better than all the Red Hood helmets on Injustice 2
Love the helmet! you may want to remove the plastic mesh at the jawline and add real mesh to increase the breathability.
looks better then the Arkham helmet but I will have to wait until its finished before I decide if its my favorite design
Hey Chris! Please do a review of Neca's Leonardo! Cheers from Argentina
That mask looks menacing!!!!
anyone else laugh at his shirt XD
First thing I noticed 😂
Deathstroke's Channel of Random! YES
Deathstroke's Channel of Random! I cried
I saw one that said uncle OJ
the for the likes!
Christopher just stop it... You're killing me with this unbelievable master craftsmanship. Impressive mate! Keep it up... P.S I'm Red hood man! 😡 Cheers!
Is the a I can get a template for it
And could I make this out of foam
Every single episode the phrase "shit to a blanket" is said.
As an artist, the perspective of the glass vs. the orange juice inside bugs me to no end. :P
But hey, LOVED the video!
looks awesome so far
Imagine combining this helmet with D3O padding and regular padding. You'd have a daredevil type headpiece to be honest.
"Like a finger in a bum. Fits perfectly." Hahahahaha
Dude, that t shirt I depressing but funny as hell at the same time!
