Hey I'm glad it came out good! Thanks for your support! And I would love to see your work, maybe send me a picture on Instagram? :)
I'm jelaous of your crafting skills, that looks truely amazing.
Thank you!
I'm looking at your work and the work of some of the bigger cosplay channels... wow you're great, you've got a bright future ahead of you!!! keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated! :)
I actually love it in the shiny black too! My jaw dropped🖤
Holy moly. I still cannot believe this is a foam helmet. Cudos to you buddy.
Thanks! :)
Thank you very much. I plan on making one for my son. He is excited. This will be my first time doing this. I deal more with automotive and steel. Can wait to do something outside of my comfort zone.
Awesome, have fun crafting! :)
This turned out soooo good!! Great job!
Thanks man! :)
Hi Sean's crafts I am ur biggest fan bruh plz pin me 😭😘😘😘 btw I truly love your retractable webshooter
@@TristanMaker u will craft same like Sean's crafts I am also a craftsman
*GASP* your also Canadian?!? Sweetness and awesome-Sauce!!
Anyway I love the video and I had an idea for my personal Mandolorian armour set… lol however I have no idea how to do it
instaBlaster...
this is my second foam project, and it is pretty easy but at times it can be difficult. Contact cement can be unforgiving when you don't properly align pieces. All in all its coming out nice. I am working on a costume, using the helmet, shoulder pieces and chest plate.
Awesome! Practice makes perfect! :)
Awesome job man! I think this is one of the most accurate foam mando helmet iv seen
Thank you! :)
You did such a great job on his helmet super impressive really clean lines to finish everything is just OnPoint bro great job
Thank you!
I’ve bought two different templates and neither of them looked good. The face was never long enough and the helmet was always very huge and had noticeable seams. I’m glad I found this! Just bought the template and will be starting over with your template this weekend!
Awesome, please share the result when you're done! :)
Very noice! I shall try this one day when time permits.
Fantastic video and template! Super easy to follow as it's only a few pieces! I'm having trouble scaling it for me head, the first one i made was easy to put on bit way too large once on :/ gonna do another tonight
Thank you! Check out the sizing chart in the pictures of the product listing on Etsy, it shows how to scale the templates depending on your head circumference. :)
That is amazing! Great Job👍
Thank you! :)
a great option for the chrome is if you use Rub N' Buff, it's really good and is used in film and television props (they used it for the swords and axes on Vikings... also the helmet I'm wearing in my profile pic), super easy to apply and dries within an hour...
Make a video of how to use it and I’ll sub! That sounds really cool!
Yeah I'll have to try it out!
You did so much better ! Wow!! I’ll be getting this template !
Awesome thanks!
this looks incredible!! new subscriber for sure. thanks for sharing, this is so cool!!
Thanks for your support! :)
This is amazing, thank you for this video!! It gave me alot of ideas to start doing my first Mandalorian helmet!!
Awesome!
Amazing us ur screen accurate
Is it screen accurate
This is the most acute #Mandalorian Helmet ever.
Thank you! :)
Yo I can't wait until I get my whole suit done! With how this turned out I know it's gonna be 🔥!
#DenverFanExpo2022
Cool!
aw man i wish i could afford the templates! being brazilian suck sometimes haha love the results!
You can use resin over the chrome my friend
Cool bro. I m happy to reach this channel by Seans craft. Keep it up man. And best of luck in future 😊👍
Thank you! Your support is greatly appreciated :)
Just imagine every Mandalorian doing this to make their helmet
Muito bom. O resultado final ficou ótimo.
sim
Very, very impressive!
Thank you! :)
Hey Tristan, your videos are great, and I am going to do all of them, but I was wondering if you could go out in the rain in this stuff?
Cool! And yes, the finish I'm using is waterproof, but you should still avoid going in the rain so they stay clean
This turned out so good! How long does it generally take to make pieces like this?
Thank you! I took around 12 hours to build it and a couple more hours to paint it. :)
Love the content great build
Thanks! :)
Hey Tristan, I bought a couple of your helmet and armor templates and I'm super excited to build them. I'm sure I've watched this video 30+ times already to make sure I'm ready. I just had one question: Whats the best/easiest way to transfer the details onto the traced out foam pieces?
I would recommend that you watch the beginning of my Boba Fett helmet build video, I show the techniques I use to transfer the templates to EVA foam there. All the same techniques apply to the Mandalorian helmet.
Requesting wrist gauntlets next😁😁😁
Soon! I'm working on a series of videos for the whole armor! :)
This is the way
i love this! do they have other color paints i can use? also how would i take this helmet and customize this?
Hey Tristan, how did you add the 2mm trim over the visor? What technique or tools did you use? I tried opening it with the burn technique but it came out a little crooked.
That's a separate piece of 2mm foam glued on afterwards
Where are you from and btw I love your work😊
This is so cool! i am planing on building it soon, i was just wonder what the easiest way to transfer the templates onto the foam is? thank you
also i remember you using charcoal on i think the upper half of the armour is there a reason you didn't use it here?
To transfer the templates onto foam, I simply cut out and trace each piece on EVA foam of the indicated thickness.
I believe you have seen someone else use the charcoal technique as I have never used it.
@@TristanMaker ok thank you!
Hello from Germany, thank you for your templates. I found all on etsy. But I have one question: Is it really good to use resin on the helmet. It is not elastic, so you risk your painting??? Or ist it not so? Thank you
The resin with make the helmet less flexible, so easier to paint like a 3D print, but it might crack if you drop it. Check out my Boba Fett helmet build for another option for sealing the helmet.
Liked and Subscribed!!
Thank you for your support!
im wondering how much this coast and how many peices of foam you need to buy?
I would use these, but I really wish the back didn’t slope in. I understand it may have been necessary to make less seams, but it looks out of place with the rest of the very accurate helmet.
Good job dude it is great! I wish my moms printer was working to make it but I'm already making one for my dad and me, also my dads gonna be the mandalorian for Halloween but thanks for this video anyway also you should be the mandalorian for Halloween. (I think I'm the longest comment 🤨)
Thanks! Stay tuned because I'm working on making the whole armor and the videos on it will be out pretty soon!
@@TristanMaker alright dude ill sub
Amazing templates and video! I was wondering if I can go about saving and painting this helmet similarly to the armor? (Plastidip, sandable filler, dark gray gloss paint, graphite powder etc.)
Yeah totally, I made a second helmet which I painted like that to match the armor
@@TristanMaker perfect thanks! I really appreciate all the responses and your great videos. I've been working on the armor and helmet for my son's costume and I'm super paranoid about the paint job since this is my first foam project.
What paper format is this
I bought it but have no idea what format that is (I am from europe)
Thx fore the quick answer I found it👍
If you are wondering how to print it, make sure you open the file in Adobe acrobat Reader. Then in the print settings, select the "poster" format. This will let you print the file at full scale on multiple pages of whatever paper type you use.
It looks pretty screen accurate
Thanks!
@@TristanMaker your really good ar making helmets
Thank you, that's what I like making the most!
I'm currently using your build to make the helmet, I just wanted to know in the step where you're sanding down the helmet after the resin hardens, what grit do you use? Do you only use a single high grit the entire time or do you move from 80 to like 500?
I recommend starting pretty low like 120. Just make sure not to sand all the way through the resin. After that go up to 220, and for an even cleaner finish 320.
@@TristanMaker oh okay, perfect. Gonna do that and see how it works. Thank you for the quick response!
I love this! Btw what’s the visor mad of
Thanks! It's a tinted welding visor I found on Amazon. I'm not sure what material it is.
So why the templates are not available for me💔 is there any way I can get them? 🥺Pls
Would it be possible for an item list to be made so I know everything I need to get for this project? :)
There is a list of materials at the bottom of the product description on Etsy. :)
i looking into making this, I have a normal sized printer how to you print and trace templates that are bigger than paper?
Simply watch the printing tutorial video linked in the product description on Etsy. All the information is there.
Have a question when you glued the visor to the helmet you set a 2 mm step up what exactly is that?
Never mind I see it now
Hey Tristan, another question. You mentioned that you put 3 coats of resin on the helmet then sanded it down. Did you sand it down after every coat? Or did you sand it down at then end after you applied all three coats? If you can help me out with this I’m doing the same right now but I’m not sure when to sand it down when resin is applied.
I sanded the resin after each coat :)
@@TristanMaker hey Tristan, one more question, after you applied the 3 coats and sanded it down. Did apply primer or is it ok to apply the dark gray paint ?
You can apply the paint directly if you think the surface is smooth enough. If you're not sure, primer will show the remaining imperfections.
wish i had this a few years ago
Someone know a alternative for the visor? in Germany you cant get a welding shield like this. I think its not allowed... :C
You can purchase flexible clear plastic and darken it using window tint.
I'm at the last stage - CHROMING! At what PSI did you spray on the chrome paint? I also ordered the Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome. Thanks again.
I don't remember. Try it out on a piece of cardboard to find the right pressure for you
Im a star wars nerd that still has to watch the mandalorian- but theres a rumor that pedro pascal is going to a con im going to- sooooo here i am.
Do you think i can use 10mm on the helhet instead of 6-8 mm?
You totally can, but it will be a little harder to form the parts properly.
@@TristanMaker Okay😁 thanks
How do a print the template peices to the correct size? I printed it to printer paper but it's too small.
Check the product description on Etsy. There's a link to a printing tutorial video with all the info you need.
Great video man, what thickened eva foam did you use for the helmet??
Thanks! I used mostly 8mm
@@TristanMaker No problem man and thanks!
At 9:33 that Sh-Boom is was introduced with this Channel
Hello Justin, I have bought your templates for your mandolorian helmet it was 8 dollars and I was so excited. When I firs printed them out they were not life size to fit my head, but when I changed the settings to full size they could not fit on my printer. What should I do?
Joseph Borowsky.
Hi, thanks for your support! Simply watch the printing tutorial video linked in the product description on Etsy. It shows how to print the template on multiple regular sized pages.
Does spray paint not melt this type of foam like it does polystyrene?
Nope, EVA foam a a closed cell foam, it doesn't melt from spray paint
Okay I rally like your template better and also I chose it because it isn’t an oversized helmet. But then I printed it out and it seems too small? I mean 8mm seems really tiny? I hope I’m not reading it wrong or anything. I’m just afraid of the helmet being too small.
Hi, by following the printing instructions in the printing tutorial video, you should be able to print them at full size. The only thing you have to change is the format in the print settings. Have fun crafting!
Why didn’t you put it on?
I didn't think of it haha! Watch the painting video for my mandalorian armor, I put the helmet on at the end in the full armor reveal. :)
So after trying the epoxy resin, are you sold on it? Is it worth the extra money and effort over something like mod podge? Or is the difference negligible? Great video, I’m just moving on to the painting stage for my helmet and I just purchased your armor templates. I’m a beginner and your work is easy to follow so thank you!
At first I was sold, but since then I've been using a different technique with 5 layers of modpodge, followed with 2 coats of filler primer (optional) and that works really well for me.
The more coats of modpodge you add, the better the end result. Just make sure to sand the surface smooth before adding paint.
Thanks for the reply. Happy to hear that as I went with 5 layers of mod podge, myself!
Could I use the same process as your how to get shiny beskar video on the helm or is it easier with the process shown in this video? But great job as this has turned out amazing!
You totally can! They both work :)
@@TristanMaker awesome! Thank you for the quick reply I've recently started building this full armour as my first eva project and its turning out great! thank you for all the hard work!
Hi, I didn't catch what you did use for the visor... is it a material I can find somewhere in the Internet?
It's a tinted welding / grinding shield which you can find on Amazon.
@@TristanMaker thank you so much!
Wow I didn’t know Disney gave you a prop from the show lmao
Haha I wish! But thanks!
Hiya whats the density and how big of the sheets do i need
I used medium density foam but high density would also work.
About 1x1 meter of 8mm foam and 1x0.5 meter of each other thickness specified on the templates should be more than enough.
@@TristanMaker where did you buy your foam from
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.
Hey Tristan,
I just bought the template and wanna go to work.
on what size paper did u print out the template?
I have a A4 printer how can i ajust the PDF to print it with the correct scale or should i print it on A3 format.
You can print on any size paper. Watch the printing tutorial video linked in the product description on Etsy, all the information is there
@@TristanMaker Thanks for your reply but i already checked that video, It must be my printer.
If you don't want to deal with printer problems. I always recommend just going to a local print shop and ask them to print the template at full size.
Is there a way that I can get a blue print of that?
The templates are available in my Etsy store. The link is in the video description
Anyone know if the t shape front piece sides are also recessed out by 2mm or if it's just the top bit ?
The whole piece has to be 2mm higher. So the top and both sides.
@@TristanMaker thanks Tristan :)
Anyone know if mod podge would be a good sealer for this. If so matte or gloss ?
If you are talking about sealing the foam before painting, mod podge is a great option. Just apply 3 to 5 coats of the matte version. Then you can sand it with 150 and 220 grit sandpaper for the best finish.
If it's for sealing the paint, that won't work very well. Mod podge is not made to be used as a clear coat since it doesn't dry 100% clear.
@@TristanMaker thanks Tristan. I meant sealing the foam. Thank you 😊
@tristanmaker what foam do you use for this?
It's foam from True North Cosplay
Thank you so much!!! Ill be purchasing your templates, do tou sell the full template
How big are the printers your using to print those templates!?
Just regular home printers. The templates get printed on multiple pages, as explained in my printing tutorial video.
Can undo it in card bord
Check out RJR Production's video where he built one out of cardboard. He even has templates for it. :)
@@TristanMaker he is rely good but I need a template
RJR Production has templates for the helmet on Etsy which are specificaly for cardboard. My templates would not work for cardboard since it doesn't behave like EVA foam.
Template ?
Just click the link to my Etsy in the description.
Yo you come from canada so can you talk french?
Yes! French is my first language. :)
Same!!! Btw i was wondering where do you get your foam?
I get it from True North Cosplay. It's based in Montreal. I think it's nice to support local businesses. :)
Nice! I live in montréal so its perfect!
