Foam Crafting a Predator Mask
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- After tackling a couple of postponed builds, I figured it was about time to knock the dust off this Predator mask and finish it up. It has been sitting for about 6 months and I got some modifications made to it to finish. For this build, I used: 6 mm, 4 mm, and 2 mm EVA foam, 20 mm EVA half dowels, 15 mm and 10 mm EVA triangle dowels, LEDs, LED eye kit with battery, contact cement, super glue, Plasti Dip, spray paint, rub-n-buff, and some Plaid FX acrylic paints. You may also need the following tools: a heat gun, a Dremel with various bits, and an Exacto knife or box cutter.

Excellent build!! Backer rod is an inexpensive "dread lock" either raw or wrapped in fluffy yarn - found in big box home improvement stores. Could even attempt to mount on a foam skull cap to make it wearable. Thank you Thomas!! I will be undertaking this prop challenge! 👍👍
Thanks for the tip. I locked at a couple options and most seemed a bit much. And once I looked at what people were charging to make the legit ones, it was a hard pass
I came over to the comments suggest the backer rods myself You beat me to it by a few months. LOL 100' of the foam cylinders are about $12 on Amazon.
Mr. Thomas, thank you for the awesome build and pattern.
Awesome dude nice work 👍
Thanks 😁
Excellent.
Thanks
that is so cool....always love your work...that should be in the movies
🤗 you are too kind
Nice wrk as always sir !!
Thank you sir
Awesomeness! love the predator franchise.
Thanks. Some cool sci-fi stuff in that franchise for sure.
Quedó bien chévere muy buen trabajo como siempre
muchas gracias, se agradece mucho
new look studio looks good man 👍👍👊👊👊👊
Thanks. I like to change it up ever so often. Still have some things to add to it but it's coming along.
Gracias por compartir tu ingenio y talento amigo , muy bueno tu video , yo construí una máscara de estás pero con tu video la voy a mejorar saludos desde Maracaibo Venezuela 👍, sigue adelante tienes potencial
Glad my template could help my friend. And a big howdy from Texas
That’s sick, bro! “DILLON! You son of a b!tch!” 💪🏻
😄 appreciate it.
i love this design, glad you finished it
Thanks. I'm glad I picked it back up too
Looks awesome as a build. Almost has a MK1 vibe to it like the Mk1 Iron Man suit
Thanks. I can see that MK1 similarity. Maybe add so weld lines to it.
Glad I came back for this one. Been out of building for a while. Good job!
That's the great thing about TH-cam, it's always here when you want to get back into it.
That is so sick. 20th century fox should hire you for future predator films.
🤗 I don't know that I am on that level by any stretch of the imagination but it is kind of you to say
How did I miss this build? Busy as hell, I guess. That was awesome! Doesn't it feel great to walk back into a stalled project and knock it out of the park? Great work, Thomas. You inspire us all. Thank you!
It IA nice to have several going and every once in a while jump ahead of schedule
Dude that's wicked!
Thanks
nice
Thanks
Congratulations on the channel... Excellent!!! You are one of the few who teach how to make the projects and make it available (free download for everyone to try to do it at home... It's a shame, youtubers who make tutorials and don't provide the project link for people to try to do at home If I could in a single video I would give you 10 likes. I'm subscribed from (Brazil) here EVA is very expensive to make these projects, but we still do it with cardboard. God bless you and all yours. A big hug
Thank you very much! Glad my tutorials could be of some use.
That came out really nice. Glad you got back into finishing it!
Thanks. Still have a couple more that I need to catch up on. Next week's will be quite a bit different than my normal materials. Stepping out of that comfort zone for sure
Great work, thanks for sharing your version
thanks for watching.
Man, 1000 likes for You!!!!!!
👊
Amazing build! I’ve only ever seen the first 3 predator films but really enjoyed them. Your version is more than appropriate as they weee all individuals and customised their kit as they sore fit to do.
I think it is super cool how the franchise keeps putting out different versions of similar form factors.
Awesome job as always 😁😁 love it 👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Simplesmente incrível essa máscara do Predador Thomas , parabéns pelo trabalho.
Thanks for watching my dude 😁👊
Looks like a great wall hanger Thomas . Great job
I thought so too. Thank you sir
Great build,
also
GET TO DEE CHOPPA!
😄 is it weird that I read it in Arnold's voice.
That's how it sounded in my head.
Son geniales tus creaciones podrías alguna vez enseñarnos a hacer el casco de Drácula de Bram Stoker sería fantástico
Thanks for the suggestion
This is great. I have been thinking about a Predator mask for a while and that foam backer rods would work well vs foam dowels to keep the cost down for that many.
That's what someone else suggested. I went online and looked at legit ones that people make and it was going to be several hundred dollars. I know they are not easy to do the real way but man that was an eye opener.
You could potentially do armature wire and dowls to make the dreads.. they may not flow but it'll look good as display
I thought about that. If I was to do them, I would want it to be mobile
could you make the viking predator helmet I really liked your videos of viking things and I would like to see your viking version greetings from Puerto Rico
That might be a fun challenge for everyone.
great work and skill. can you make escanor rhitta axe ? will be epic 👍
Thanks for the suggestion
WOLVERINE MASK next please 🙏🏾
thanks for the suggestion.
It wouldn't be a Muchprops prop without a lot of battle damage would it? I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with multiple projects sitting unfinished for months before I get around to finishing them. Fantastic video as always!
😄 your right on that. When I don't dirty or battle damage them up they just seem off to me.
You should make Gimli's helmet from LOTR
That would be cool. Have you seen Punished Props take on it? SKS is working on a dwarven build right now too that is pretty epic looking
For the tentacles, couldn't you use the foam dowel rods with the automotive wiring harness sheaths that are black and woven? I'd think that could pull off a great look
Sounds like a viable option. I would just wonder about the mobility of them.
@@MuchProps yea that part I'm not to sure of just cause I don't know the flexibility of the foam dowels by themselves, but you could also melt some nylon cord between sections of the foam dowels to get them more flow if you wrap them in the sheaths?
Gracias por el video, me ayudo muchísimo para poder hacer la máscara que tanto quería. 👍
La acabó de terminar y me salio genial, pero yo la hice en cartón jejeje.
La terminé, pero me sobro una pieza 😅, dónde va la pieza que dice "Side Brim"???
Just glad I could help. Make sure to let people know where you learned how. 😁👊
second comment wooooow as always great video
😄🥈👊
What would you add to it so you could wear it. Your video is the best one on making it. I have been wanting to make a full predator suit.
I thought that it would be a cool idea to get one of those predator latex masks and wear one of these over the top of it.
An idea I have for the dreads is that you can use foam dowels.
I thought of that too. But they would need a weight added to them fir movement and I would need to get some low density ones as most are a bit too rigid
Long time viewer first time commenter. I would like to acquire the template you are using for the prop. The pattern is not the same i have found for standards makers.
Patterns are in the description of the videos. It's the last link at the bottom.
Awesome build..you continued it cuz of "Prey" trailer? You gonna attempt the Predator gauntlet next?
I might know someone who worked on the film and it was the initial reason I started this build. Haven't had a chance to see the trailer yet.
Very cool build. Still waiting on the alien head shield, & the Thundarr the barbarian sword. Are you going to do the bladed gauntlet & the should gun?
I have actually already done a blade gauntlet. I linked it on the video at the beginning
Thank you. I must have over looked it. How is the alien head shield coming?
PLEASE DO THE ALIEN FROM DESTROY ALL HUMANS
Thanks for the suggestion
next can you make COD warzone simon ghost mask?
Thanks for the suggestion.
this mask is from which movie from predator?
Not from any particular one, but based on several with some of my own embellishments
Did u get this done in one day?
No. Lots of hours figuring out parts and details. Could you, with the template done for you and an instructional video? Maybe.
Hey Thomas! Lately I’ve been having trouble opening any of your template links in the description of your videos. This is likely a me problem but I can’t find any solutions. Any help?
If you are trying on a phone or tablet it is because they don't support the file type. You can go to the app store of you device and download a PDF reader extension. This should fix your problem
@@MuchProps I’ve actually been doing this on a laptop and not any mobile device, so I think it’s just the laptop.
Oi amigo fais a mascara de sexta feira 13 Do filme
No, I have not, but it is on my list for this Halloween.

Lol. I do sell most of my props. There is a link in the description to my Etsy shop.

Sorry. I was out of town this weekend for a loss in the family. Trying to get caught up today. It is up now.

Ooh. That is by far one of my favorite Halo helmets. I might have to think about that one
