12:18 That reveal though. This turned out drop dead gorgeous.
7:55 to avoid the color "bleeding" under the masking you can spray with white or clear coat before painting red. The clearcoat / white will bleed first, filling most of the gaps, letting you spray red just fine ;)
Awesome helmet btw !
I believe that trick has been mentioned to me before but I apparently don’t do enough masking to have remembered it 🤣
Will be super helpful to others coming across this video that are looking at making their own helmet!
wow
This looks amazing... almost good enough for one of the hosts (Wes Chatham who played Captain Enoch) of our podcast to wear. I hate to ask how much one of these would cost...
Protip i learned in an adam savage tested video, apparently all gold leaf is traditionally done over red paint not sure if it helps with the outcome but its cool to know
That’s super interesting to know, thank you! Apparently it’s done to warm the gold colour. Not sure if it would work with all qualities of gold leaf but it’ll be something I keep in mind if I do any other gold leaf work.
What Qasim the name of the video this was in?
Gorgeous. One of the coolest Star Wars designs ever. Such an intriguing and mysterious character
Enoch was giving me some Necromonger vibes (Chronicles of Riddick)
Stunning work! Great finish on the helm.
A beautiful piece of work, gorgeous well done!
Really inspiring, and what a gorgeous final piece. Very much looking forward to your thorough review of the printer.
That turned out incredibly good. It's always astounding how much a simple wash can elevate things.
Absolutely gorgeous. So impressive.
That came out incredible. Nice work!
You made that look like a walk in the park. Stunning.
Love it! What a phenomenal piece you made! Btw - I picked up (2) of those sanders - what a great tool - thanks!!
I love the attention to detail.
Wow looks amazing! Looking forward for your next project
first video ive seen of yours and wow, just amazing work. all the techniques and the execution. love it!!!
This is absolutely phenomenal! Amazing job!
Thanks!
Incredibly amazing end result - just, awesome!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad to see more prop makers using ABS and realizing it’s the superior filament! Great work. He looks amazing.
Somehow I’d only found out recently how much easier it sanded. If I’d known earlier I’d have probably tried getting one of my other machines to like printing it.
@@MMsPropShop I did a video on a Mando helmet that was pretty much about post processing ABS. It’s just fast to do. Plus the heat resistance you don’t have to worry about it melting in your car 🤣
ABS peak
Wow that helmet looks really awesome!
Looks Great! Just found your channel. Awesome quick step by step explanation of each process, and I love the weathering technique thanks for sharing !
Turned out great! Nice work.
The Wabi Sabi aspect of their gold infused suits and helmets was so dope. This came out amazing
Yeah, like we were all watching those vids in lockdown and now Star Wars claims it as their own.
Wow this came out amazing!!!!! Great work cant wait to get mine started.
Looks incredible, and awesome video! Thanks for making Me and Vek's model! We had so much fun making it
Great project. Given that you're printing with ABS, have you considered vapor smoothing the surface with acetone instead? Basically just hang the part in a sealed container with a paper towel that has some acetone on it for about an hour, and the surfaces will come out looking glossy smooth and will remove the layer lines. That may be a way to cut down on the manual work a bit, although you will still need to sand back the rough spots of the support material.
I did consider it but I was concerned that it might warp the pieces and prevent them from fitting together properly. Plus I wanted to keep the post processing methods similar to what I’d been used to using to be able to compare how they’d work with ABS. I think sanding the pieces is what’s going to work best for me for now.
That looks amazing like studio quality!
Looks fantastic!! Very nicely done.
Binging your videos now, you're awesome! Great work; climbing up to your level :) The gold leaf looks impeccable!
Great job with Enoch!
Nice! You just earned a new subscriber. TH-cam actually recommended a good channel this time.
It looks amazing. Bravo!!!
Fantastic work! I'll have to try the airbrush wash technique next time.
I love when TH-camrs sound like they are laughing through their monologue. Reminds me of the Bill Cosby Jell-O, pudding pops commercials. 😂
👏This is absolutely magnificent! Watching you put this together was inspirational and I've sent it to all of my kids and students.🤣 I'm obvs a fan and you've got a new sub.
The gold leaf is a dope touch! I’d probably have been tempted to load a roll of gold silk PLA in the AMS and print all the gold pieces out. But your way looks so good!
That thing is freaking awesome!
I didn't know i could resin and glue ontop of filler primer!?! That's amazing.
That came out great!!
whoah!!!! you captured that spookyness from the tv show ,its incredible!!
Beautiful piece of art
Well now I have to try using gold leaf!! I have been trying to figure out a good gold option with paint but this works amazing!! Nice job.
What an amazing prop!!
Weathering has been my Achilles Heel when it comes to my props, it's either been too little or too much every single time. I'm definitely going to give the dirty paint water version a try as that seems much easier and seems to give a very good finish overall, thank you for the tip!
Great build!
Looks so good, nice job!
I didn't know I needed a foot sander until now. Looks like an amazing tool. Great job on the helmet!!
Yes! It’s honestly probably my favourite tool that I used on 3d printed projects. It’s a complete game changer.
impressive. super clean *.*

You don’t miss!
Thanks for the links
Outstanding!
Good job !
Great job.
Impressive......Most impressive.
awesome work :)
Awesome! I love all the passionate artists, craftspeople, & all the DIY makers out there displaying their work. I’m a techie but have a passion for art & design too along with a DIY Maker side.
I’m a born & raised NY but had Japanese culture in my house as my Mom was Japanese. Anyway, I was totally surprised & elated to see that many Star Wars fans know of the Japanese craft of kintsugi which is repairing broken pottery & ceramics by filling in cracks with gold filament. While Japanese culture covets aesthetics, order & perfection there is an almost spiritual affinity for repaired
Or worn items as the scars or repairs are part of it’s overall charm & aesthetic. It’s an amazing philosophy for many reasons. I think it provokes thought & makes people less obsession over impossible beauty standards, for example. Embrace the imperfections as intrinsically beautiful. The Japanese design philosophy Wabi Sabi touches upon this very idea.
Again, awesome work & talent. Captain Enoch is both aesthetically cool but there is an underlying spookiness about the worn uniform & its implications.🫤
Currently printing mine with a Neptune 3 max
Professional 👍
So good. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Your prop replicas are always of exceptional quality, the attention to detail is brilliant, and this is no different, I love your Mandalorian bust, and General Grievous bust, just to name a few of my favorites, and this is a stunner too. Absolutory spectacular. Keep up the good work. 10/10 Beauty.
Thank you so much!
Wow, just wow.
This looks so cool...i want one! :(
Excellent
Awesome video!
What brand did you use for the filler primer and satin white?
Also, was there a specific type of grey/black paint that was used?
Great job on this! But...I need to know more about that foot sander!!
Haha, thank you! Here’s a whole video about it:
th-cam.com/video/gm5elGTTtyg/w-d-xo.html
To have a better mask for painting you can first paint with white (or whatever colour the plastic is on other projects) so seal the tape against the helmet and stop paint from seeping out, then you spray the colour that you want (in this case red for the cogs).
very cool
perfect
looks great! may I ask what the varnish was?
The varnish was just whatever came in the gold leaf kit.
Awesome work and great video. I actually ordered the same printer just before I found your video, I'm super excited to try it out. I've never printed ABS how did you find the fumes?
It definitely has a sent to it when it prints although I didn’t find that it bothered me in any way. It could vary by ABS filament with some giving off a stronger scent, etc. I’m sure it could be further minimized by placing something like an air purifier close to the machine while it’s printing ABS.
Thanks, I will give ABS a try and see how it goes. I look forward to watching more of your content. @@MMsPropShop
Great work as always. I've been waiting for a new video since the last one! Did you make progress with the IG?
Thank you! IG is actually completely finished, I just haven’t gotten a chance to edit the video yet. Hoping to start tackling it in the next couple of weeks.
@@MMsPropShop can't wait!
Very nice. Overall finish aside, how does gold leaf compare to painting? Easier, longer, about the same?
I've only seen signwriters use gold leaf for lettering on race cars, and they burnish it by hand with a swirl, so maybe the helmet they rubbed the gold leaf in a direction for that brushed metal look on the face.
In this project’s case I’d say the gold leaf was far easier and less time consuming. If I hadn’t used the leaf I probably would have decided to use duralumen/alumaluster and then recolour it gold which would have involved attempting to mask all of the cracks to airbrush it on. Even if I managed to mask everything off it wouldn’t have been as clean a job. Was way easier to just apply the gilding glue into the cracks and not have to worry about the gold leaf sticking to anything it shouldn’t have.
Where did you find those amazing reference photos?
A lot of them were just the renders of the file I used to help me with the gold and grey panel placement.
What top coat did you use to protect the paint?
What were your filament settings? I’m want to straight up copy cat ya. I have never printed with abs in my life.
I’m interested in your thoughts on the weathering happening after the gold leaf as opposed to before. Like did the helmets gets shattered and repaired before or after they got really dirtied up?
The gold in all of the reference photos I was using definitely looked like it had some weathering on it which is why I decided to do the it at the end. It didn’t take on the colour the same way the rest of the helmet did so in a lot of cases I sprayed it and just let it sit without blotting it off. The wash would separate on its own and give it an interesting effect.
Where did you get all those amazing reference photos you were using?
sick
cool prop, but for cosplay how would you do the eyes so you could see?
There’s a mesh version of the eye file that you could print and but some sort of fabric over that to make it look more solid. You could also just replace the eye prints with something like welding visor pieces. I really only cared about it being a display piece so that’s why I kept the eyes solid on mine.
are the eyse see through? If so what did you use to make them
Mine are not, mostly because I only really cared about it being a display piece. There is actually an alternative print file for eyes that you could add fabric to the front of and still be able to see through. I would personally have probably swapped them out for welding visor pieces.
Whats the printing area on the larger portion of the dome? Would it fit on 250x250?
It’s about 275mm front to back so I don’t even think on an angle it would fit on a 250mm bed unfortunately.
😲👍 Wow!
Cuales son las dimensiones del casco es muy grande?
Did you just Resin? Or did it have a mixture of baby powder or would baking powder, or just resin?
I have mine mixed with fumed silica powder but I used baby power for years. Mostly I got sick of the smell lol. The resin on its own can work fine, the power just helps to thicken it so that it will build up in the cracks faster.
