As someone who spent nearly two years trying to make a functional and accurate Killing Joke version of Red Hood, I know your struggle with the mirror film. Even Bill Doran of Punished Props couldn't help me figure it out. What I ended up learning is that the film will only stick to glass and will always peel up in time on all plastics. What I ended up doing was sandwiching the film between the acrylic tube and a 1mm thick sheet of plexiglass curved into a cylinder. Once everything was as tight as possible, I glued the plexiglass to itself then glued at the very edge where the plexiglass and acrylic tube met.

You actually kind of look like how professor X was drawn in the comic. Like the way your face is. That enhances it quite a bit.

Dryer sheet and heat gun to form tint on a round surface

Stunning work sir by far the best version I’ve seen of this helmet

Ooo, yes! Please do more of comic stuff! Maybe a classic Eye of Agamotto that opens, or Booster Gold’s little robot friend, Skeets?

Professor X’s new look is something that I’m obsessed with. Your design looks amazing!!

Reminds me of that X shaped visor Cyclops adopted for awhile.

Please do the classic Mysterio Outfit.

Hey Odin, that Cerebro was awesome! I hope you can make more X-Men props like Cyclops visor, Wolverine’s claws, Professor X’s wheelchair, Magneto’s helmet, Juggernaut’s helmet, and so much more X-Men props.

Looking at this, I was wondering if you could make the mask from Dredd.

I love that Odin show his mistakes and how he corrects them , he is not afraid to show failure. The helmet is amazing !!

"This is a lot like working on an oversized Gundam kit." Odin, please make a Gundam helmet.

Oh heck yes!!!!

For the visor I would suggest using something like Krylon silver looking glass spray paint. If you dust it on lightly, it looks reflective and gives you around sunglasses-quality vision.

"It's like making a giant gundam kit" F O R E S H A D O W I N G

about time we saw colored acrylic back on the show. i love seeing it used for cosplay

I'd love to see how odin would make a gundam

Odin, thanks for the shout-out (Stoogeslap)!!! I've always wanted to one of the iconic "Sword of Dungeons & Dragons" from Magic: the Gathering (or for a simpler build if there is a time constraint, either Sword of Light & Shadow from Modern Masters or Sword of Truth & Justice from Modern Horizons). But really, any cool, iconic weapon from Magic would be so cool to do again [I do remember you making Bone-Splitter, a very cool creation].

Can you please make a prop building 101/ basics videos showing where to find all the things, how to make the patterns from online photos, and cutting straight or on an angle.

For my Mysterio dome, I took a clear acrylic dome for lighting, and sprayed the interior with Krylon Looking Glass. I have about the same visibility as you probably do in this piece. Though, you did give me an idea on how to improve on the design! 👌👍 looks amazing!! 🤘

This is the best version of that helmet I've seen yet

Incredible man! You done did it again Odin!

I think I like your helmet builds the best, but the weapon builds are a close second. Great vid!

That's really cool. Nice comic telepaths speech bubble at the end, that was pretty funny.

Hey Odin, heat gun on the tint will allow it to curve. I've tinted 50s cars with wrap-around glass using this method. It takes a gentle touch so you don't melt through the tint but it works.

The helmet looks amazing

You did this so much better than my helmet. Great work as always good sir!

Using those mesh tubes was brilliant! Bill Doran of Punished Props has a video on dying visors - he used Rit dye for synthetics.

Try alclad chrome for the back of the visor😉👍

Marvel is eyeballing Liam Neeson to play Galactus; do Galactus's helmet!!

there's something called perforated vinyl, people use it in spider-man lenses, so for the x, if you want it to be visible it's a great option

The fact that Odin keeps bringing up Gundam kits makes me happy.

Kyrlon mirror effect spray would work. I think the automotive store has several mirrored paint options too.

That helmet would be a fantastic looking VR helm

Use Krylon Looking Glass Silver, a couple really light coats on the inside of the visor, it produces almost perfect two way mirror effect.

Tint could work if you used the tint that requires a heat gun to finish it and grounded the acrylic to get rid of static electricity

Great build! Still would love to see you do the Martian EVA suit. Or at least the helmet!

Krylon "Looking Glass" spray paint would probably work for the visor. I know a lot of Halo guys use that and it's what I used for my Mysterio costume. It's not as opaque from the wearer's side as normal spray paint, and is completely convincing from the outside.

Please make Rescue's helmet from Avengers Endgame.

For the tint you can airbrush alclad-107 on the inside or pick up a can of spazstix chrome and spray that.

I love watching you make props. They never disappoint.

In light of the Disney+ launch. We can now enjoy nostalgic films and one that is under appreciated. Treasure Planet. Odin should make the orb map and captain Flint's costume and his iconic skull.

Glad seeing you step up your game in the past couple vids👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Maybe, if you apply the window tint to the inside while it's flat, you could heat form it all at once?

El de los cómics !!!! Con ganas!!!

The best prop version I've ever seen!!

window tint definitely works on a compound curve. you have to heat and shrink it on the edges to conform to the curve. its how automotive windows are tinted. none of them are actually flat. If you really want that thing chrome tinted I could do it no problem. feel free to reach out and let me know

Use alclad to make two way mirror visor, aply with airbrush

I've used Vans 110ML JDM Lens Blue Tint Head Tail Fog Bumper Light Painter Paint Spray (it's from Japan) to great effect for making acrylic blue and translucent. It's available from Amazon.

You should give a window tint second chance. But apply it to flat visor and then heat it and bend together.

This one is so cool Half way thru construction looks like starscreams head

I like this. I still remember the cerebro helmet from the early 90's X-Men cartoon. That would be a cool build too. Still waiting to see a Megaman Blaster. Lol

Duuuuuude. As an Xavier fanatic, this got me hyped. Looks so good! Followed!

Loves to see you make the mandalorian helmet from the show

Make Ronin sword from Avengers Endgame pls

Really cool. Gotta love to see things from the page come to life.

Awesome! In a next project you could try "spaz stix mirror chrome" on the visor. Punished Props made a Samus Helmet once with this technic, worked really nice!

Id love to see some props form the 60s batman tv show!

These videos truly inspire me

I'd really like to know about the visor too as I'm thinking of doing a Cyclops with a similar look...

Try putting a screen over the surface you are painting and remove after paint starts to dry. If the fibers are fine enough you’ll be able to see out, but the light reflecting off the lens from the outside will make it unnoticeable to passerby.

The end is sooo cool :D

You should make a comic hellboy mask/helmet next!!!

As always, Excelsior! I love it!

@ 8:55 the thought balloon above Odin's head says "WTF this better turn out right or I go back to parting out scrap droids for Imperial credits".

Hello Odin. This nice design of helmet reminded me of Robocop helmet. It is nice to design a Robocop helmet in one of your shows.

You are a legend.by far my favorite prop maker

Car tint can be heated to conform to compound curves.

DUDE YES we never get comic builds this made me so happy!

just to note, (hope Odin sees this), the basic black inner is perfect as a Timelord Skull Cap (nailed the shape right off)... add the Collar and you'd have it perfect...

next time when you use the mirror film place it with a little water (without peeling the protection off) with the mirror side onto the front of your shape. then use the heatgun to shape it. now you peel the protection and can place it with water/soap on the back of your shape.

So Odin, as you were wondering, the stuff Halo Spartan cosplayers use in the visor to make it one way and metallic is chrome paint, and they spray it on the back of the visor with an airbrush in thin coats. Trust me, I'm a total Halo nerd, just look at my profile picture. Also I love ur vids!

Please oh please make a variety of the plastic, clear guns from, X-Men - Days of Future Past

"It's on my head and it smells like Patrick Stewart." - Wade Wilson / Deadpool

Now were making comicbook stuffs let's do flashpoint batman cowl amd costume

Can you make a wolverine Claw's , you're great Mr Odin!!

if you do something like this again, a potential method is what some like godzilla mendoza used for spider-man and isac clarke's visor. its called perforated vinyl, its white sticker stuff with holes in so you can see.

You should've put the tint on the plastic first then used the heat gun to form it all as one. The film would've conformed better while in place with no air bubbles or water under it while being heated.

House of X! :D Amazing build, would love to see more comic inspired projects in the future

Odin you can heat shrink window tint film to fit compound curves, in fact you need to on every car window you tint almost, that curved X would have taken a lot of shrinking but it maybe could have worked

Can you make zangetsu please? I just love comic and manga props and x men nostalgic for me since I love the 90s show and x men evolution

Love the helmet. Since you made this helmet can you make a phase 2 clone trooper helmet? No one has made a good foam one.

I had no idea how badly I wanted this

I forget what it is called, but I read once that there was an automotive tint spray you could buy for tinting visors. I'll have to see if I can find what it was called. I did see it on the RPF though in an old thread.

First time I didn’t skip the ad. Thirdlove bras. Anyway, is that really Xavier though?

Damn Oden sick job next time for tint use the heat gun on low to heat shrink to get rid of those fingers (rinkles)

A fun project could be the Red Queen or Devil Sword Dante from Devil May Cry 5.

Could you possibly make iron mans MK50 shield next? It was used briefly against thanos on titan

You could always get a blue metallic face shield insert from a place that sells welding/grinding supplies and just cut it to the shape you need. They range from $10-$25... at least they did 12 years ago when I was looking at different inserts for my Mandalorian helmet.

Did you try using soapy water between the tint and glass then squeezing out the bubble and soap. That’s one way to help get a curve shape done smoothly

Could you add the film before shaping the visor or would the heat be too much for it

I'm a gundam fan and liked hearing about it on this video it would be cool if you made a gundam head

Okay you mentioned it so now I want to see it; you should try and have a go at making a Halo helmet. (Look them up, there are some really cool alternative ones to the vanilla Master Chief Mark VI so you're spoiled for choice)

This is amazing

Use a heat gun on the tint and it will shrink it. Car rear windows are ALWAYS compound curves.

Try to make wolverine claws or iron man repulsor gauntlet pls...

I was thinking that maybe the window tint could work but just where your eyes are. That way the compound curve isn’t too big for the tint to be useless and you could just paint the rest

Do Wolverines claws. Do Mysterio fishbowl from Spider-Man Far From Home.

I know realistic guns aren't really something you make alot, but it would be amazing if we could see how Odin Makes Spike Spiegel's Jericho 941 R

ya should make also the : Professor Xavier's Cerebro Helmet from X-Men movies
