Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Hasbro Mandalorian Helmet Repaint!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Adam shows you how to take Hasbro's The Black Series Mandalorian helmet and make it look more like the prop used on the show. As Adam and Norm experiment with the paint process, they run into unexpected results that make the helmet look amazing. Using some standard clear coat spray spray paint, airbrushed floor wax, and a weathering pass of Archive-X acrylic, you can transform the off-the-shelf helmet into a cosplay-worthy piece with just the right amount of shine and grime!

Is there anyone like Archive-X that creates paint sets for Star Trek model colors?
Hi Adam. Can you please clarify which spray clear coat you uses please. The link is for Krylon but in the video you say Rustoleum? Many thanks Dave
Yeah looks like rustoleum 2k clear
@@MrGarycoww cheers. Just managed to pause at a point where you could get a reasonable look at can . It's rustoleum painters touch 2x ultra cover clear coat . Not available here in the UK unfortunately from what I can see
@@davidhiscock1969 I think its satin too ,to dull the finish although it had the opposite effect 🤣,unreal, getting clearcoat on chrome is so hard as Adam said .
I have 2 cans of spraymax 2k but I think its got to be either a 2k variation of satin
Adam: "I feel like we've been making this same video since the start of Tested"...
...and don't stop! Watching you or the team weather props is relaxing, interesting, and informative. Judging by the cleanliness of the cosplay you saw recently, it seems like this video is still important to make!
Amen!
very well said it is relevant and necessary
Love how excited Adam gets doing things he loves.
It's especially fun watching him teach and give feedback to peers. He's so excited! He'd be the coolest shop teacher.
I like that Norm really perfected his spray paint technique! I still remember when he was painting the cosmonaut model and how unsure he looked in the beginning! Well done Norm! :D
I think his technique is less spray paint and more 80’s hairspray
His general body language always comes across as a bit awkward to me personally, especially when contrasted with Adam, but the dude definitely got good at everything over the years. His own build videos are a real joy to watch. Norm geeking out is best Norm.
As a painter.. honestly I was wondering what the hell he was doing he definitely doesn’t know good techniques with spraying paint at least what I have seen in this video.. more than 50% of that paint he is spraying did not end up on the helmet 🤣 but he doesn’t care
I love Adam's detailed explanation of everything he's doing instead of only using generic descriptors such as "shiny" or "smooth". It really helps us who don't understand finishing details to understand the process in a new light!
You're the best, Adam!
I am in the middle of making my own full Beskar version of Mando and this is the EXACT step where I am at- looking to weather my Black Series Helmet and match the rest of my homemade armor. THANK YOU
Man it's pretty crazy to see how far Norm has come with his weathering skills! I remember the early videos he was very unsure or heavy handed but now he's like a seasoned pro
I absolutely love weathering and aging. I've found it so relaxing to do. Its so much fun to come up with the age "story" as you go. Thanks to you both for the years of suggestions!
“This is a mando walking away from you” and you’re dead so you can’t notice any flaws in his armour 🤣
Adam is the epitome of open source knowledge. I've learned so much from him simply by watching these videos. He's inspired my inner geek and prop maker.
Hey as great as the quality of the Anovos pieces are, it’s probably good to acknowledge that very many of their customers never got their products, or were strung along through years of delays. Following a lawsuit they’ve now reorganized under Rubies as Denuo Novo, so they may or may not be better now.
Cancelled my order for the First Order Stormtrooper after several delays and was able to get my money back in time. My brother wasn’t so lucky.
@@jb0078887 Still waiting on my refund i requested December 2019 for my order placed at Star Wars Celebration 2016 for the First Order armour set
@@TheManpuncher I hate to say it but you’ll probably never see it
@@jb0078887 Yeah pretty much at this point.
I'm lucky enough to be able to drop 2k on a suit of "armour", i'm not skipping meals or unable to pay the mortgage. What pisses me off a bit is the fact i wanted to join the 101st and do some charity stuff with it for the local Childrens hospital where my son stayed - Its these sorts of opportunities that Anovos have taken a shit on from a great height.
I doubt Tested will ever address that, considering behind-the-scenes stuff.
I see a really good looking replica of Mando's helmet... But I also see a blank Mandalorian helmet ready to be painted. Many of the Mandalorians in the show had either identical helmets painted different colors and/or with little addons. It's a good Mando helmet replica, but it's also a good starting point to be your own Mandalorian.
Definitely a great idea man. I wanna get into the whole SW cosplay thing, but I always liked the idea of my own custom Mandalorian armor. Seems like a really great place to start. Just wish I could paint it as well as Sabine 😂
I really dig Mando armor as a cosplay. Just like a Ghostbuster uniform, there's a lot of flexibility to make your own unique suit that feels in-universe but isn't a direct copy of a specific character.
@@MjStrwy I'm working on a backstory in which my Mandalorian would have an absolutely pristine, hardly-ever-worn helmet which has never been in a battle, a flight suit, and no other Beskar at all. You do you. That's the fun of cosplay. 🙂
@@athenawilson4019 ooh, I like that (and not just because I have a shiny Mando helmet and a flight suit). What's the background of why your character's helmet is barely worn (if you don't mind sharing)?
@@MjStrwy Thank you for asking! Linu Ial was born around 60 BBY. Her second mission went wrong resulting in her entire squad being killed, with only 2 exceptions. She was left too crippled to fight after that. Since she couldn't fight, she wasn't banished to Concordia. She worked for Pre Vizsla as a spy, helping keep him informed as to what was going on on Mandalore. Like everyone else, under Duchess Satine's orders she had been stripped of all her equipment, including her helmet. For her work, she was eventually given a new helmet and a complete set of Beskar which she kept carefully hidden. After Maul killed Pre Vizsla, she refused to work for Maul and left Mandalore to live a nomadic life as a scrap dealer, seeking out lost pieces of Beskar. She eventually found her way to where The Tribe was living. She told The Armorer her story, turned over all the Beskar she had collected and that was on the suit she still had, with only the exception of her helmet, at which time the Armorer gave her a one-time opportunity to put the helmet back on and live by the Mandalorian Creed, which she accepted. Since then she has continued to deal in scrap metal and hunt for lost Beskar on behalf of The Tribe.
I love the chrome finish. And some LEDs and you can start a draft punk tribute act
I immediately thought cylon
Making a draft punk tribute act would be a breeze...
What amazes me is how fast, aggressive yet accurate Adam is at what he does. He’s truly an artist. Lovely to watch
Ah Adam, how you made my Childhood along with the Old Mythbuster Gang,
Am glad you are still doing what you enjoy much In building stuff but no longer destroy them :)
I appreciate this return to form of some of the earlier times from Tested. Watching Adam bring Norm and Will to more competence within his shop has been a great reason I watched and continue following this channel. As great as 2020 was for watching Adam work on his projects, I love hearing him respond in real time to an amateur's questions about why he may opt to do one thing and not another. One of my favorite videos from earlier was the Cosmonaut garage kit build.
Adam- do not promote Anovos! They have taken fans money for YEARS and not delivered products from Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel and Ghostbusters. They now appear to be operating under the name Denuo Novo though that company claims they have nothing to do with them. They will not answer if Joe Salcedo or Dana Gasser of Anovos are involved in this new company. If they are, they don't deserve one penny.
I'm in the same camp about Anovos. They charge the moon for products that are just "pretty good", but then they either take forever (or sometimes never) to deliver the product. I just ordered this Hasbro helmet and will be doing the detailing myself now after watching this. Disney / Lucasfilm needs to align themselves with an efficient consumer oriented prop company to make products rather than the Anovos clowns
I second this. After buying a few high end items from them and having to wait almost a year to get a replacement Mando helmet with bad paint I'll never buy from them again. Terrible customer service. Glad I sold the helmet after it was replaced.
He is just saying where he got this helmet from he is not actively promoting them.
Agreed please don’t promote Anovos
This is Ted from Anovos. Yall can suck it.
I don't want to knock the weathering done here, because it is accurate to some scenes, but there is a wealth of screen caps and reference photos that show the helmet and the rest of the beskar clean and shiny.
Absolutely not true. If you go look at all the references, there is a lot of weathering on the armor
Yup the Hasbro was meant to be based on his early S2 helmet which was far cleaner and shinier.
But I can't deny that Adam's weathering makes it look far cooler.
adam right after you did the 1st spray the mirror finish reminds me of original Battlestar Galatica cylons
Yes.
The silver used on the actual Mandalorian helmet is Wicked W357 Quicksilver by Createx Colors, thanks
Adam: How do you feel?
Norm: Oh, I feel great. I feel it could be even dirtier. I wanna go further.
Palpatine/Sideous: DEW IT!!
One Day Builds are back! Yes!
The best parts about Adam is he loves teaching the trade to everyone, so humble.
Imagine that finish as a 80's cylon soldier.... man, that would be awesome
Yup, with the green tape mimicking the lit eyes, very original Cylon.
Been listening to Rat Rods and Adam Savage all day. I am in a happy place. Cheers, guys.
So awesome to see Guy's Archive-X paints given some well deserved recognition!
These are some of my favorite videos. Weathering weathering weathering. I love patina.
I really love how norm stays in conversation with Adam , showing Adam interests without making a sound by just making simple gestures, keeps The speaker in the zone without interrupting them. Something I can practice in my own life!
Pedro and two Stuntmen who actually make up 80% of actual screen time with Pedro's voice ;) Props to Stuntmen. hashtag John Wayne's grandson! How awesome is Mando Now !!
"Floor wax for eyes"
Damn. This is the reason I watch. Adam always drops these underappreciated gems into the show and you need to hang on to every word to catch them.
i love how adam just does this. and lets his entousiasm out. its catchy
This video is awesome. Adam and Norm just chilling and in sync with each other. Painting and weathering with such ease, shows the years of experience both of them have.
I see where the acrylics for panel lining would be good for time. If time wasn't a factor and you had issues with the acrylics drying too quickly (looked like Norm was having trouble), oil paints have a much longer cure time, so they're easier to remove.
Oils or an enamel like Tamiya black panel liner for the long grooves. It would offer time to correct mistakes, and capillary action would make it quicker to apply in those areas.
Making stuff look worn and used like this is amazing. Ive done a LITTLE bit of stuff like this, and when i do i try and think about WHERE on the object would get the most wear, where you would actually grab it when taking a helmet off and on. I think about where the helmet would hit the ground if you were fall or lay back on it, basically where the dirt and grime would end up at from your hands and the world around you as well as where that same dirt and grime would end up being rubbed off or smeared around the most.
That my friend Don in the Mando helmet with the ponytail. He will love that!!
It is great to see Norm and Adam on screen at the same time again
glad to see adam and norm on a one day build again
One Day Builds are the BEST!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the weathered look on these helmets. Both of them turned out looking really good. Beautiful though the weathering is, it's inaccurate to the material. I don't agree that the Mando armor needs to be beaten to Hell and back, and here's why:
Beskar doesn't rust, and this helmet for Djarin, as we saw, was constructed of beskar harvested during the Great Purge. He also takes care of this armor because his upbringing means that respecting it is respecting his culture. This is the way. The beskar will dirty in battle, but it will be cleaned and maintained meticulously much like a samurai and his katana. Mando sticks out in this beaten up and dirty galaxy because of this.
So I don't feel it is anyone's right to begrudge clean armor. If someone wants beaten up armor, they can have it; inaccurate as it may be it does look nice. But any cosplayer who understands the character enough to also keep their armor clean is 100% ok in my book.
This makes my mandalorian soul so happy 😁 even clean kits need a bit of something. And weathering is very much an art. Sometimes less is more, sometimes you need to look like you survived re-entry into an atmosphere XD all depends on what you want to tell in the story of your kit.
Norm being back in the videos at the shop is wonderful
Adam, teach norm some more about spray painting! He has some things he can work on, but I feel like there are techniques that you two could make a video on showing "tricks of the trade"
Adam's bit about focusing on fixing what's going to be seen (the front of the helmet rather than the back) reminded me a lot of my 3D Game Art class lol. There's a super common thing, normally called back-face culling, where Game Artists know a part of a wall or something won't be seen and they just don't even bother making it.
That helps with the rendering time too. Less stuff to cull/draw = faster frame rates and less memory.
sucks if you want to 3d print an object from a game though! :)
I switched to an airbrush paint (Vallejo Game Air) for painting WH40K minis with a brush, as the difference between perfectly thinned and puddle is extremely fine. Pre-thinned airbrush paint is perfect for how I paint.
I love you Adam, you take us by the hand and share years of experience with people how you know love this stuff as much as you do. THANK YOU MASTER!
He dropped the roughness and upped the specularity, lol. I found this funny as well because of the various effects vids on peacekeepers helmet vid and when your filming stuff with chrome/reflective effects and the last thing you want is the camera and crew reflected in the scene.
I'm pretty sure the Hasbro finish is vac metal coasted with a matte varnish to dull it down, so of course it looks like chrome when you remove the roughness.
I'm here from the Mandalorian Brotherhood group,much love guys. This is the way!
So nice seeing Adam and norm together!!
The first reviews of the spray brought back CYLON vibes to me
So excited to have a new One Day Build! Feels like it's been too long.
Adam would love panel lining and weathering Gunpla! I love the enthusiasm!
I think that the reason why there are soo many clean #mando suits is that lots and lots of people love the look of clean chrome and don’t want to “ruin” that paint job.
Can't beat that "knight in shining armor" look.
That chrome finish that Adam did for the armor is absolutely stunning. An entire beskar costume with that would be really cool
I have a custom Mando helmet that I painted in my classroom (I'm an elementary art teacher) and after I smoothed mine out and prepped for paint I used Rust-Oleum high gloss enamel black as the base coat and then Rust-Oleum custom color chrome silver for the main "beskar" metal color. I ended up with a finish very similar to your first helmet. Loved this video. Anything with the creative process is a must for me.
Really cool to see this after getting into spray painting models last summer. Still have a lot to learn!
This is the kinda content I sit down with a coffee with and just creatively veg out.
And yes, we love the one day builds a whole lot! I had no idea they were making mando helmets like that. Just might have to pick one up.
This man is always capable of making my day and at the same time inspire me to keep building, painting and weathering stuff and for that I thank you mr Savage
Even after the wax and clear coat that looked astoundingly better! I'm considering doing this to my own helmet now but I've only painted small props before
I love how passionate Adam is about this stuff
I wethered my Black series Wedge X-Wing helmet and bricking it at the start!. I'd never taken something brand new and weathered it. But boy am I glad I did!!!!!!
The Bkack Series must have originally beena mirror chrome finish and then was dulled down at the factory in order for the gloss Adam sprayed to bring it back to mirror chrome. It's really fun watching these guys. Adam gets so giddy and seeing Norm progress over the last few years. Love the 1 day build videos guys. Keep them coming.
I'm just wondering, How could I dole it down just a little bit to make it look like metal without using the floor wax? I don't have an air brush but I would like something just to bring it down a little bit from the mirror finish so it looks like metal
I can smell the scent of aerosol and paint through the screen and it's making me want to go and start painting right now. Just leave work now on lunch and go to my shop.
No clue why I stopped watching this channel great video!
Costume breakdown is an art.
Adam and Norm are two of my favorite people. And, as cool as it is to see them together in a video... I have to admit, I really like the "Hey I'm Adam in my cave talking to my phone" vibe a lot more. It's just more "personal" or something. I know that just started because of the pandemic, but now that I've seen it... I kind of hope they don't get away from that feel.
Been watching all the videos I can about weathering props from Adam in prep for my custom mando helmet build
I'm just excited we live in an era when these are open and available to anyone, within a reasonable budget. Also that be an easy way to achieve a chrome storm trooper look.
cant wait for the full build to come out!!!
Ok, I know I’m a little late, this being a year old but this makes me want to buy this helmet and do this. So freaking awesome! Thank you Adam!
KINDA SICK THAT THIS LOOKS EVEN BETTER THAN THE EXPENSIVE ANOVO ONE BY FAR
Another mellow ODB. Thanks, y'all!
Yes! Adam the Savage is back again!
I think it's been a great time for cosplayers since we've all had a year of being inside so people have had lots of time to make great costumes
We need more build projects!
I would guess that the screen used version exaggerated the effect so it would show better on the screen, where some detail will be lost. Items that will be viewed up close and personal can get by with less, and probably look better that way.
Love watching and learning
The Anovos helmet looks like Ford "Silver Frost" automotive paint to me.
"just going a couple inches at a time"
yeah you are Savage! love ya!
I can see that chrome finish from Adam's helmet being great for a Peacemaker toilet seat, um, beacon of freedom helmet!
I love your painting videos , you can see the fun you get from telegraphing the story
Thank you for helping me find my brother's Christmas present. He will freak out over those acrylics!
Oh I miss the lockdown One Day Builds 😪
That clear coat over the silver is incredible for a chrome
I really like that chrome-ish effect that Adam got on his initially. Kind of Mandalorian meets Cylon, which may not be that practical for combat armor, but it sure looks great.
Woah the rustoleuim chrome finish is fire, crazy how much it changed by littlr
Vallejo Black model wash…..absolutely perfect for this job in aging the helmet ….It already watered down so it easily gets into the crack and crevices. I just used this tonight and it worked great. I use this in my air Brush normally but tonight I just put some in a bowl and used a brush to dab it on. Give it a try
This is such perfect timing for this video!! I just got my bobafett helmet and want to paint it to make it look more screen accurate, I'm soo excited to weather it and seeing this is helping so much to understand how to make it look even better, where to go harder and where to give space for the eyes to rest and fill in the story
The chrome shine that Adam got on the helmet just from using a Rust-Oleum clear spray can blew my fricken mind!!! It was such a good finish.
And then he hit it with the floor wax and brought it back down 😩, that hurt me a little.
I will probably never own 1, but thanks for sharing your process. I enjoyed watching you both enjoy that process too!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been working on my beskar mando and haven’t been able to get the chrome quite right, this video is a great help!
Ahhh Great. It’s been awhile.
I think one day builds are what’s getting many through the madness 👍
after he used that spray gloss all i could think was Cylon the old one from the 70s lol. man it does look good though that looked like a lot of fun to do.
Good Watch! Now I need a Hasbro helmet! Good work guys!
Adam, eveybody has their Mando armor shiny and clean because Din Djarin takes BEAUTIFUL care of his armor. And unless he's just been killing a Krayt dragon from the inside or nearly blown to smithereens on Navarro, he's looking spiffy and shiny. Mostly it's because the show people LOVE the fact that he volume is able to be reflected in Din's armor and they don't *have* to keep it scratched up and scruffy looking to hide the fact that he's on a soundstage. But go back and look at the show...unless he's fresh of a battlefield or a hike through the desert, he's looking like a BOSS. Mandalorians are actually SUPPOSED to take meticulous care of their armor, because it's a family heirloom and a way of showing respect to the ones who wore it before.
Norm is very artsy with his spray technique lmao
I got to meet this man in mando gear. life complete.
It's so interesting that these methodes of making something look more realistic are pretty much the exact same methodes I use to create realistic looking textures (but digital of course).
Oh man, I have to get one now. Especially since it's got a great price! And the fact that Archive-X is based in the UK is just fantastic for a European like me. Can't wait to paint a helmet for myself!
Adam savage rocks
