How to mold a helmet Part 1

[amvalenz]

Where did you get the mixing cups?

[xXBocephusXx]

@amvalenz My dad got them from the place he works.

[iLOVETATTGURL]

how did you make ur original helmet? or did you buy it?

[xXBocephusXx]

@iLOVETATTGURL I just cut out the shapes I needed from cardboard. Then I resined, fiberglassed, bondoed, etc. I don't buy any of my props. In fact I try to build things as much as possible without buying anything.

[ODanielMartinez]

@xXBocephusXx Can´t you make a Video on how to make such nice helmets from cardboards? Would be perfect for us outside U.S that can not easily find such original helmets.

[BananoPower2]

@ODanielMartinez You can make a helmet out of carboard and once you've got everything how you want it, you add fiberglass and bondo to it so it stays nice, solid and strong. I did mine that way and it turned out excellent. there are many helmet templates that you can print out, cut out the pieces and put them together just like a puzzle. It's actually cheaper to do this than just buying a helmet :)

[TheMe6996]

@iLOVETATTGURL you could also use clay to make a copy to mold around

[DDrake961]

Would you say the original or the copy is better.

[xXBocephusXx]

@DDrake961 Well, in my case the cast(copy) is better because it's lighter than the original. But that might not always be the case. Overall though I would say a cast is better in most ways.

[gojunkfood]

where do you get part a and b. Also do they sell it in smaller quantitys

[GuitarKid581]

You should sell mando helms. i'd deff buy one

[oONatetheGreatOo]

[360MexicanHero]

[Jonathondpereira]

Thanks a lot man

[Jonathondpereira]

This doesn't have anything to do with the vid, but what did you use for the black visor? Awesome videos btw man

[xXBocephusXx]

@Jonathondpereira I just sprayed some clear plastic I had with VHT Niteshades spray on tint which you can find at Discount auto. Then I cut it to the shape I needed it. 

[curtorials]

is the helmet made of fiberglass resin?

[zZomgRAWRZz]

this is some of the greatest stuff ive seen, good job

[LegoBros09]

whats the point to mold helmets? (just wondering)

[xXBocephusXx]

@LegoBros09 You mold a helmet so you can get plastic casts from it which are exact replicas of the original.

[LegoBros09]

@xXBocephusXx  so to make a copy of the helmet???

[xXBocephusXx]

@LegoBros09 Multiple copies.

[UltimateMach5]

how much rebound 25 did you get? the 1 galon? or the trial size

[xXBocephusXx]

@UltimateMach5  I bought the gallon kit and I have made two molds so far. I used about 56 ounces per mold.

[James0roll1]

If I where to make a clay helmet of the T-51B Helmet then I made a mold of it, would I be able to make it hollow? Because I had a lot of trouble making a pepaurkia one.

[xXBocephusXx]

@James0roll1 Yes, the final cast of a mold that is made from clay would be hollow if you follow these steps. The clay helmet would be like my mandalorian helmet. It is just the model.

[James0roll1]

@xXBocephusXx Ok thanks for responding!

[SpoGGSpo]

These are super helpfull dude :) Thanks

[naruto88uzumaki]

so what is the purpose of making helmet molds??? not to be rude or anything no! am curious :) is this like a way to make more helmets ? like example u dnt have to print cut or glue to make more helmets am i correct? if am wrong please correct me cause i only know how to make helmets the original way lol pepakura , cut , fold, glue, resin, fiberglass, bondo, sand, primer, paint thats the only thing i know and this is difrent!

[xXBocephusXx]

@naruto88uzumaki Yeah, this is the method of making exact replicas of a helmet just using the silicone to make the mold and then the plastic to cast the helmet.

[cultcollectables]

great tutorial, well done for putting this up :-) it will really help

[oldmanbobTheKIlla]

Will you sell a prop laser rifle I just saw the old vid

[greenthrash99]

how old are you? i always thought you were around 16

[xXBocephusXx]

@greenthrash99 When I started making videos, I was 16 but now I'm almost 18. 

[dbztiki]

What are your costs per mold??

[xXBocephusXx]

@dbztiki I don't sell my molds, but I'm selling raw casts of the NCR Veteran Ranger Helmet right now on etsy for $60.

[dbztiki]

@xXBocephusXx

What I meant was how much did it cost you to make the mold?

[blobofjelly]

Wtf with the music

[xXBocephusXx]

@blobofjelly It's awesome jazz music.

[connorbnelson]

Thank you so much!

[TehPowell]

Yay!! :D

[gruntythe1andonly]

I love the music! :]

[HumbleThudwigThud]

Now you could resin and fiberglass the outcome to make a duplicate helmet, right?

[xXBocephusXx]

@HumbleThudwigThud The hard cast comes from the pouring plastic into the mold once it is completely finished.

[xXBballBoiXx]

Great video... Just a side note I really digging your fucking music

[DontPutSpiceonRice]

Omg thank you SO much :D This will be extremely useful, espeically when i get better at prop makign and i can make halo guns for my friends :D

[aycardo10]

[drudigger]

[HomemadeChair]

Thank you sooooooooo much

[HatOfWisdom]

Excellent taste in music.

[NegativeNumbers427]

Good video...

Is there an Age limit on those materials? Would I have to be over 21 to buy them?

I wish you the best of luck. And I look forward to seeing this once it's finished...

[xXBocephusXx]

@NegativeNumbers427 I don't think there is an age limit.

[goldenhotdogs]
