@javodey 25 дней назад

I would've left the front grille detachable with magnets. There's a star wars novel called "Death Troopers" where stormtroopers and imperial officers are turned into zombies from an unknown virus. The troopers' helmets have the front grille and chin section ripped out so the zombies can feed

@make432 25 дней назад

Whoa! That is awesome - i think I need to make time to make this as a costume!

@darkblades1201 Год назад

Fun fact! The helmets in A New Hope have two different models. The Hero model and the Background model. The Hero helmets have a larger "smile" and had the teeth highlighted with gray, while the background helmets had smaller smiles and where painted black. Empire strikes back and return of the jedi later just paints the teeth all black.

@make432 Год назад

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

@darkblades1201 Год назад

@make432 double fun fact. Ever notice how in Return of the Jedi how some helmets look thinner than others? It's because the mold failed on them while they were making the helmets, resulting in a thinner final product

@Nagedzi Год назад

Fun fact: the Hero helmets have the narrower frown while the Stunt helmets frowns are wider. Both are painted grey. They weren't changed to black until ESB....

@PhuVet Год назад

There literally 9 versions of the original helmets. I have a 501st validated set of armor I built and went through the process to get my TK number.

@nwesterbeckmaster Год назад

wrong, the hero troopers in ANH had the smaller frown and the stunt helmets had the larger frown. All ANH helmets were painted gray, including the stunt helmets. About a dozen of the same original helmets from ANH were reused and repainted for ESB, so that's when the frowns were painted black. Decals were also added, instead of keeping the hand painted details. By the time RoTJ came around, they had to create new helmets, which is when the mold failed and created a squished helmet appearance.

Love the pace, clear explanation, fun and light style! You can use these helmets to stay off camera, daft punk style ! Some tips from my experience: bonding with a soldering iron and 3d pen can be faster, stronger, and less messy than coating (with eg. Epoxy), unless you use the expoxy with gauze. Only downside, the pla is less sandable.

@warstoriesofthe88th Год назад

this was an amazing tutorial. maybe i went a little overboard but i made a multi part mask last halloween and i went with 3d gloop to bond the parts at the edges and then also plastic welded the seams on the interior followed by a pass of soldering iron welding. much more difficult on a project like yours due to shape but ive never had luck with epoxy.

@make432 11 месяцев назад

Your process would 100% make a more solid final prop - we design ours for display so we don't need to be as secure - but for future projects we might try out the plastic welding!

Someone may have already said something, but any Stormy from any costume group will tell you, you are supposed to almost turn the helmet to 90° and then slide your head in. Works for them, it might work for you? Love this video, I've just received the raw print for my own trooper helmet and this was a nice chilled way to ease into the project!

Just a tip to get sharper edges on masked parts: add a coat of the base paint (white) similar to how you added the clear coat and if possible, remove the masking while the paint is wet.

@jeremybabajan1811 17 дней назад

Use a brush with the color you taped over, white in your case. The paint is more likely to build up in those corners and fill the gaps in the tape. Leaves a nice sharp line ever time.

@rumblehat4357 Год назад

Here is a helpful hint from my files of “I figured this out for myself” from years of working with resin kits. When working with resin, superglue and sand paper are your friends. You can use superglue in a gap or “air bubble indentation” and sand over the spot. The sandpaper will make resin dust which will fill the gap or hole by bonding with the superglue. you can repeat the process for deeper holes until smooth and the defect disappears.

@@make432 yes, that asymmetrical helmet is so ingrained in my mind, that when I see the symmetrical one, not only is it easy to spot, but it looks “off” to me. I prefer the hand sculpted original. I did two resin cast helmets cast from an original screen used helmet. One I left exactly as it was: Asymmetrical, in all it’s wonky glory, and the other I made a little more symmetrical with apoxie sculpt. It still maintains the “sourced from an original,” but is a little more even looking.
