Is there any way you could provide a template for the whole body that goes with the helmet. I've looked online but I haven't found any templates that are better then yours.
Like I needed more of an excuse to start working on an Alphonse Elric cosplay XD Thanks for the awesome tutorial and for providing the template as always! I look forward to starting to work on this project in the near future.
Amazing build! Really makes me want to go back and rewatch the show. Registration marks might be a good addition to the template, though most people can probably figure out positioning on their own.
Normally, I'm amazed by your work Steve, but on this one, I'm completely flabbergasted and speechless, not only for the work on the template, but specially because you glued everything without registration marks on the different pieces and everything lined in the end. The rotary tool on the cuts on the foam that were heat treated to create the recessed area is a great idea. I'm imagining how it would look with some LEDs on the eyes... I hadn't even understood from watching both Full Metal Alchemist series that the helmet has hair. I always thought it to be a ribbon.
So happy to see this amazing project! FMA has been one of my favorites animes since childhood and I love how the helmet turned out! Have you ever seen Hunter x Hunter? It would be awesome to see a build from it, like the Paladin's necklace, killua's backpack, Shizuku's vacuum, Illumi's needles, and many more!
i have been trying to think of anime props but i am struggling to think of some except maybe to go with this build Edwards watch if i come up with another ideas i will add to this or wait for next video to suggest.
Making this build right now for my brother's birthday! He got me into full metal alchemist a few years ago, and I really wanted to play with some creature cast.
You know what helped my materials hoarding? Making friends with other artists who I can gift leftover supplies to. I doubt I’ll ever use the whole 8oz of iridescent medium I needed for one project, but I have painter friends who will gladly use up at least a few ounces of it. I’ve also stopped buying materials unless I have an immediate need for them. Which breaks my heart when I’m out shopping, but has made organizing my office easier. Has it stopped me from hoarding the materials I find for free though? Nope
There are a lot of reasons why I love your videos so much, but mainly because you teach little details that are usually overlooked and it can help and improve the work considerably, like the cutting the sponge when applying the texture on the helmet for instance ^^
Thanks you! Doing these build videos has really made me step back and look at the process. A big one has been small techniques I overlook may be exactly what someone else needs to see 👍
That looks absolutely amazing! Loved the technique you used to make it look more like rough metal. Thanks for sharing! Now you just need to build the rest of his armor, haha.
Before the pandemic I was gearing up to start an Alphonse build, but I haven't been motivated to work on Cosplay since we don't have any events. This helps get me back in the swing of things. Thanks!
Ahhhh this is so cool! Fma Is my favorite anime and it brings me joy to see you bring alphonse helmet to life. It's very well made and you did a spectacular job on it! 😁
A couple weeks ago, i tried my hand at a realistic color pencil render of alphonse's helmet. Today i find this and realize its the same helmet that i used as a reference!
I cannot wait to download this! FMA is DA BOMBDIGITY! Told my yougest, who've I Ben begging to cosplay as Alphonse, I don't care if it ever gets worn, I whant that! Please finish the suit! Oh please, please, please!
Wow, this was amazing! I just stumbled upon your video, so I don't know what else you've done, but another great piece would be Edwards automail arm :D My 12 y/o son and I are thinking of cosplaying as the Elric Brothers next Halloween. He's got the easy costume lol Thank you!
Fullmetal alchemist is one of my all-time favorite animes I would love to see you do Ed's arm also what kind of pencil do you use I haven't been able to find one quite like that at any of my art supply stores
This was a good video. a cool build would be Ed’s metal arm I think the biggest challenge with that would be getting it to not be way thicker than your other arm, but an attachment for his blade would be cool too
Awesome build! I’ve been pumped for it since you started teasing it, can’t wait to build my own! A request/suggestion, a Robotech/Macross pilot helmet like Rick Hunter and Roy Fokker wore. A template and guide for that would be beyond awesome!
Oh man this is SO COOL!! Love FMA (one of the best anime soundtracks too) and it looks great! If you were going to wear it, would you add a black mesh behind the eye holes or some other kind of "lense" so you could see out but no one would see in? Second question: I see you are using creature cast lately - Are you moving more towards this and away from plastidip or is it just situational? Are there certain situations where one works better than the other? As always thank you for the amazing builds, keep at it! Definitely will be building my own Alphonse helmet in the future!
Thanks! If this was going to be worn yes I would use black cloth behind the eyes but I wouldn't looks out of the eyes I would use the cheeks or build the entire helmet up and look out of the neck area. Creature cast is just another alternative. It was pretty cold here in the Midwest so plasti dip doesn't work well creature cast can just be brushed on and is a non toxic alternative
@@SKSProps awesome, thank you for answering my questions! I'm up north and it gets pretty cold here too so it's good to know that Creature Cast can be an alternative for working with indoors!
Amazing! Showed my friend this who wanted to do Al and they were excited to start with this tutorial. Great job! Maybe you can tackle Ed's automail next
Are we gonna get to see you build the rest of his armour? I want to cosplay him so bad but I don't have any idea how to so I would love to watch you do it first! I love your channel, keep up the amazing work!!!
Absolutely love this!!! Thank you so much for putting this together and providing the template. Do you ever plan to do the full body? If yes, would be extremely interested!
oh and for a pattern idea, a Darkness from Konosuba pattern would be cool, because it's hard to modify a breastplate pattern to have really large booba when you dont have them yourself for the cling-wrap method!
This is amazing. I've been trying to get the full suit started but the templates are a pain. Also props for the quality foam you produce. Any suggestions on where to find them?
Just stumbled on your channel and wow, your skills are amazing! This will be my future project for sure. If you’re still looking for anime props to do, I would be thrilled to see a tutorial on Bondrewd’s helmet (from Made In Abyss). :)
Thank you very much, this helmet is awesome, do you have templates for the entire armour, Alphonse will be my cosplay for the next Halloween. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Awesome video as we start building this suit. Appreciate all of the tips and ideas! We purchased some of your foam to give it a try. :) I'm curious, do you have the rest of the suit template or can you tell me which one you are using?
Thanks! I don't have plans on making the entire suit but check out a facebook group called the pepakura depository they have lots of pep files and I know his armor is in there
Hello I wanted to say that I really like how your templates are free this will be my second project of FOAM Cosplay, but I am wondering I am 5'7 will this fit my head or should I accommodate as I go?
Voltron legendary defender The bayard that the paladins use but the one Zarkon uses the black Bayard has a different form. Shown in season 6 Ep 4 near the end of the episode. I've seen people how to make the normal bayards but I'm looking for the other one.
Hi there! thank you very much for this video and for sharing the template. I downloaded it and I'm also making a video of my own. I will share theoutcomewith you as soon as I finish. I'm making it for 2023 Madrid Japan Week. I have a question for you, is there anyway you can share the pepakura files? See, the link hasn't been working and I haven't been able to download the whole armour. Please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.

Is there any way you could provide a template for the whole body that goes with the helmet. I've looked online but I haven't found any templates that are better then yours.
What format is it printed in? a4?

I love these videos! Accurate, high detail, and a realistic and achievable/ affordable material list!
Glad you like them!🙌

That's great to hear and you are welcome!!
Such an iconic helmet, great job!
But now you got to make Edward's watch to go with it ! ;)
Thanks!!
Or staff!
Heck, or arm!!
Amazing build! Really makes me want to go back and rewatch the show. Registration marks might be a good addition to the template, though most people can probably figure out positioning on their own.
You make amazing tutorials and the fact that you make the templates free makes me enjoy you're channel so much more

@@SKSProps I'm positive you'll love it! It's my favorite anime and a highly praised one too!
Kurapika's chains are perfect.
The paladins necklace from greed island? That would be cool
i have been trying to think of anime props but i am struggling to think of some except maybe to go with this build Edwards watch if i come up with another ideas i will add to this or wait for next video to suggest.
I got 1 idea now how about a Digivice from Digimon any of them, or how about the shield from
the Rising of the Shield Hero
OOoooooH! I'm going to build this on my stream Friday!! Thank you for making these videos for the community! You're incredible and so is your work!
Thank you very much! And have fun!
Did you make it?
Love this build, thanks. My Kids are crazy about it. Now just need the armor.
Thanks!
One of the most iconic anime armor sets. Great job!
Thank you very much!
Making this build right now for my brother's birthday! He got me into full metal alchemist a few years ago, and I really wanted to play with some creature cast.
Fantastic! Glad I can help!
My dad called me a hoarder a while ago and wanted me to get rid of some stuff, I just organized my hoarding, problem solved
Organization is key! Luckily after 7 years I actually knew where the horse hair was 😂

Great job Steve! Loved it! I think Ichigos hollow mask from "Bleach" would cool.
Thanks! Man I haven’t watched bleach since college I should do a rewatch!

Awesome build as always! Making Obito's war mask from Naruto Shippuden would be AMAZING!
Thank you very much!

Amazing! Showed my friend this who wanted to do Al and they were excited to start with this tutorial. Great job!
Maybe you can tackle Ed's automail next
Thank you very much! Next build is in the works and will be a set of Vegeta’s Saiyan armor!
one of the next ones you should look into is Kaboll in the mk movie and the classic look
Can you please do Ed’s automail
I made the helmet. Although mine was botched and had gaps, it is insanely cool
FMA sweet. Looks great.
Thanks!

something from tiger and bunny would be kinda cool

First off thanks! I’m 5’7 as well and my head is xl so if it fits me you should be fine 👍
For the texture, u can use the same kwik seal u use to fill the gaps!
You can but creature cast just flows so much better
@@SKSProps Yes. The kwik seal would be a more viable alternative
I'm thinking how this would work on leather!
Amazing work! Do you think is it possible to make it in a 1:3 or 1:2 scale model?
Yeah just scale it down the foam used in this one should be thin enough not to be a problem
@@SKSProps Thank you
great piece. i would build with hd foam if theyd ship internationally
Thanks! Blick does ship internationally but with the recent huge markup on costs from USPS and UPS i'm sure the price would not be cheap
i have a list of things i think you should make XD
You should make a RWBY Crescent rose, Attack on titan 3dm gear, Iida Tenya's helmet (or leg armor).
