Foam Crafting A Conquistador Helmet

Рет қаралды 5,902

2 жыл бұрын

Looking back in history at some pretty iconic armor, I stumbled upon the Morion helmet, or conquistador helmet as it's commonly known. I thought I would give it a go and try to put my own spin on it using the following materials: 6 mm and 10 mm EVA, cake detail molds, Evil Ted Cosmolds, hot glue, an old leather belt, contact cement, super glue, Plasti Dip, and some Rub-n-Buff paints. You may also need the following tools: a heat gun, a Dremel with various bits, and an Exacto knife or box cutter.

Thanks so much for the templates. I just wanted to make a quick and dirty version out of cardboard but couldn’t find a free pattern anywhere. And I didn’t wanna pay for something I’m probably just gonna wear once as a gag 😂

@greenjedimonkey 15 күн бұрын

@@MuchProps turned out pretty good, I also have a big head, so the size wasn’t much of an issue. Though I wish it was a little deeper. It probably would have been better had I used foam instead of cardboard. Overall though, it’s pretty good.
