A very awesome build, young man. I'm very impressed. I hope I can make a Mando helmet looking as amazing as yours. Two suggestions for future videos, if I may. I'm no expert, but I think better lighting and perhaps a light colored cutting mat to help us see better what you are doing would be very helpful. It was a bit hard to see, especially with the black foam. Keep up the awesome work and let us see more of your amazing creations! Thank you for sharing with us!

I bought your previous Mando helmet template last year, but the filler primer I tried using apparently wasn't flexible, and the spray paint I used on top of it cracked.

I agree! I like the templates. They are great. The instructions are very clear, but the video is really dark!! Please invest on some lights on top of your desk and maybe on the back of your camera as well.

@Smucklz Жыл бұрын
is it just me, or does the old one look more accurate? at least on the dome part, I think the visor and the "cheekbones" are more accurate on the new one, but it looks like the helmet kinda curves up into the crest on the top of the helmet where the first one is much mour rounded. I think a combination of the two would be perfect

this looks amazing. does graphite give it its color or just its shine? that is, if I wanted a brassier color, could I do a goldish basecoat and still use the graphite? or is the graphite going to make it chrome colored no matter what?
@TristanMaker 11 ай бұрын
Thanks! The graphite will affect the color, but it is not completely opaque. A black base coat will give a darker finish than a grey one. Try experimenting with a red, orange, brown or gold base coat. Each will give a slightly different look.

Since you used spray primer & gloss rustoleum spray paints; that would make this helmet technically no longer flexible right? Usually in my experience; these spray cans usually are not flexible at all so if something were to accidentally hit the helmet; it would leave cracks that cant be fixed.
@TristanMaker Жыл бұрын
By using this combination of products, the helmet becomes much more rigid, but still has a bit of flex in case it gets dropped. The brands of paint I used have just a bit of flexibility after drying, enough so the helmet doesn't crack unless it gets hit really hard.
