Full armor+costume out now! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMqXeaagtsCwiqM.html

This is definitely the way

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how he released the templates for free. Not a lot of creators I’ve seen have their stuff for free so I’m excited to jump into this project. This is the way

what a chad. not only has he given us a quality design with easy-to-find materials, but he posted the templates for free. what a freaking legend.

Mando: "This is the way." Yoda: "The way this is."

its so nice when people include free templates, thank you!

I can't thank you enough for the free tamplets. I made this helmet (it was a pain in the ass, ngl. Took 15 hours) and it turned out amazing!

Best. Covid. Shield

Appreciate how the templates are free This is the way

Dustin, you have the most amazing editing style I have ever seen when it comes to DIY videos! Thank you for continuously inspiring me and many others 😀

Just finished this and it worked great, thank you so much! I scaled it down for my seven year old. If you print on a4 paper and set the scale to 20% it works out perfect for little guys.

Thank you for making this template! It got me really started in mando armor. Over the course of the last year i've used this to make four helmets. Customized it a bit for each one, so for reference for anyone else i'll list what i did Twi-lek mando - cut out a large portion of the back of the dome, then cut down the middle of the back wall. used an extra peice of cardboard and velcrow to close it once i get it over the lekku. Nite-owl style visor - simply changed the shape of the extra peice around the visor. that one's visor was construction paper with slits cut into it, so i didn't need to change the shape of the mismatched visor opening underneath. doing it again i would simply do the same, but cut out the extra curves after glueing the top peice on as a guide. Yarndalorian - yarndo is plastic canvas and yarn. I used these templates for the base of it, simply tracing and cutting out the template on the plastic grid as accurately as possible without cutting open any of the squares. Whip stiched the seams together rather than glueing, and filled the panels in the same way you would with any other plastic canvass project. I've made a few other modifications, such as adding horns to loki-lorian, making boxier ear caps for yarndo, a rangefinder for the nite-owl, and a rangefinder for the twi-lek. designed my own earcaps for each rangefinder. Definitly suggest to any other custom mando builders who want to work with cardboard but not to be din djarin to still use this as a base! if you'd like a fully nite owl style helmet, you can always use the dome, visor with the modifications i listed above, and side walls parts of the template, then all you have to do is figure out the cheek indendations. tricky, but not impossible, i belive in you. Final notes, if you want to paint rather than use duct tape, be very careful with your hot gluing. it is possible to get clean seams, though on some curves there will be a gap that you'll want to fill in, either very carefully with hot glue, or with something like bondo. Don't forget to seal your work (i use mod podge), be safe with knives, and don't touch hot glue. This is the way.

My man is a god, he’s actually the only guy who isnt ripping us off our money to make diy crafts, instead he give us it for free!

this is the way to make a GREAT mandalorian helmet, also it would be really cool to see a full mandalorian costume!

I remember always watching your videos and making stuff from them when I was younger, it feels so nostalgic to watch your videos, and I might even try to make this helmet! Thanks Dustin

i used this video with the provided templates to build the helmet. Took my around 4 hours but was easy all in all. I'd recommend to build each side alone first and then adjust the width so your head fits in well. The helmet is kinda big so I could cut off 2 cm of each half in the middle and then glue it together. Thank you for this video and the provided materials.

Just a tip, If you don't want to buy the face shield you can lay out some box tape (Clear tape) to the shape you need and use a thick sharpie to color the black and you can still see out of it.

Dude I thought you were done making stuff with homemade movies because I used to watch you all the time but here we are making videos in 2020 thank you for making a lot of crafting video really helped me out

One person dislikes cardboard.

Thank you for this! I made this for my 5 year old sons Mandalorian birthday. I didn’t scale anything down so he kind of looked like a bobble head, but he absolutely loved it and it still looked pretty cool!

Thank you for this! This is the best tutorial I’ve seen yet for the helmet

This is the way.

This is great. My daughter really wants to be Mando. This will work wonderfully for home costumes.

you are the best. You’re the reason I started prop making and filming and that’s when I realized how many movies is canceled I was down but then I found your channel on 2017 and things got better thank you

Dustin thank you. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it and everyone in my family loved the look!

This helmet is AWESOME!

Thank you for this tutorial! I just funished it, and it looks awesome. Thank you also for the templates, they were really helpful. May the creativity be with you!

Thanks! I was planning on making a custom mando armor, but didn't know how to make the Helmet, but now i do! Thanks a lot!

My 5 year old is OBSESSED with Mando. I have decided to surprise him with making him his very own Mando armor and this will be the perfect helmet for him! When he does inevitably destroy it (like little boys do lol) I can just make him another one. Thank you for sharing such an easy, cheap DIY.

@Dustin McLean I finished the hole helmet only the ear things i still need to do. The WW84 Trailer was so cool. Have a great day 😁

Actually, I used your last video foam helmet template and adjusted them as for cardboard and also made the front long and finished it yesterday, and now you made one with cardboard 😄😄

I just found this channel thinking I would never find this dude amd his tutorials ever again. I’m so happy I found this. I was sad when homemade movies was gone but I found you. I’m happy

Thanks Dustin for the tutorial and the templates I've always wanted to make one of this now its done

If there's one thing we all know you have plenty of Dustin, it's cardboard! Great tutorial as always Dustin. A lot of fun and detailed and very generous to provide the templates. Your foam version tutorial helped me make my Mando helmet for my costume that I was going to wear to my library's covid cancelled comic con back in March. HOpefully I'll be able to dig it out of storage and make a video showing it off for Halloween!

Thank you for having free template it really helped me Dustin

Thank you for the templates have a great day 👍

Love your work mate! Amazing!

Life saving tutorial and pattern! I can not thank you enough!

I did this helmet for Halloween this year, and it looked awesome!! Thank you for the templates and tutorial they were so clear!! I had never done something like this and it was so fun!!!

That looks wicked, great job Dustin!

Very cool, Dustin! What a way to use all my cardboard boxes.

Hey it’s the cinefx dude... love his content!!!! Thanks for this awesome DIY

Thank you so much! Sincerely, A Mom on a budget!

i was looking for a project just before christmas this is great

Fantastic helmet and demonstration. Thank you!

Everyone I tried this and its pretty thanks for making this video❤😲

I didn't want to buy the face shield so I just found some old black see-through tights and used the fabric. it appears black but you can still see out of them!

Great tutorial as usual

I just completed the left half and it was soooo hard good job on making a really clean looking helmet👍

Could you possibly do the Armorer as well?

Thanks so much. I cut down the helmet to fit a kid by removing a wedge from the centre join, starting at the front, max reduction of 5cm at vertex and straight down the back.

A day with a new video from Dustin = A good day! (even if I do have a cold Lol)

Looks awesome!

Man, you were my childhood as a kid. I would watch you on prop shop and homemade movies, I loved watching you just make stuff out of normal objects and cardboard. After a nostalgia rabbit hole I finally found tofu again and it’s cool to see you still doing props like these. Thanks for everything man.

WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this it’s awesome and I Use it everyday thank you so much for this!

Thank you for such a GREAT video !!! I need to make this for our cute doggie, I can't wait !!!

Yo man I’m so happy I found this video. I have a ton of cardboard and I wanna make something but all the templates cost money and they wouldn’t fit my paper. Thanks for this awesome tutorial and template. Can’t wait to start!😃👍🏻

This is awesome I have spoken

Awesome build 🤙🏽

Thank you Dustin for your stencils and video! I made the helmet and now Im eager to show it to my students ( Star Wars fans too) so they can recycle cardboard and enjoy at the same time. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the templates!!! I really appreciate them

Thanks this was Super helpful for my own

I am very glad to see Dustin back making props, I was very bummed when he stopped on diy prop shop

I finished mine! It looks amazing!

This is the way❤

My 1st attempt was a fail but i tried again using a, believe it or not, yoga mat. It worked but of course yours is a 1000x better

Adorable ! Printed at 90% for 7 yr old, still a little wobble but glued foam to inside crown. My stock has gone up around here. Thanks.

#BLESS thank youuuuuuuu for making the templates free! I really appreciate it! LIKED AND SUBBED!

Nice and cool

wow! when I saw that helmet I did't even know that it was duck tape!!!

The foam one was great, but this looks better. I don’t know why it looks better but it just does.

Thank you so so so so SOOOO much for making the templates free
