This is awesome! I've never made a prop helmet before and this looks like the simplest shape to start with. Plus Magneto is my favorite comic villain of all time. Thanks for spurring us on with inspiration and helpful guides.
@@dmstudioX yup, reversing the Earth's rotation in an instant killing millions of people at once was a pretty neutral thing to do. Totally not the M.O. of a villain.
@@sofiacoria7164 not bad. I don't have it anymore because for me it was more of a fun little project to test the waters. I used very heavy 100lb card stock. If I were to ever try this helmet again I would make it out of super thick chip board so I could more easily make it fully rigid.
is there any other fun but easy builds that u recomend?? thanks for recommending me to build this by the way! i made it and finshed for the first time.
love the videos. Question!? You make this with cardboard, however, if i was to use 5mm craft foam, should i enlarge the pattern to compensate for the thickness of the foam to glue everything evenly?
Hi, I'm Radu, I have an youtube channel in portuguese called Tubalatudo, and I've been using one of your helmets (the leonidas helmet) in my videos, so I'd like to ask if it was you that created the mold for the helmet, and if so, do I have you permission to make a tutorial on this helmet, in exchange I will advertise your channel and make sure you're the legitimate creator, this way you can gain some portuguese audience. Looking forward to your answer.
resin & fiberglass thingy is not easy to get from my local hardware store, i think it's because not many in my neighborhood into DIY, therefore it is kinda expensive. secondly, if i used resin, i guess many of my viewer won't be able to follow (budget, age & resin fiberglass are dangerous stuff) , since many are student :) about car putty i might, because i have one sitting in my garage, but first i need to figured a way to make cardboard stronger. to be honest i also hate sanding car putty :)
Thank you. I'm wanting to cosplay Magneto from The Last Stand. Do you have templates to match his helmet then? By the way really nice looking easy way to make these helmets.
genial video, otro gran trabajo, me he vuelto tu fan :v, mi hermano comenzó a hacerlo, y está en la 1ra parte, listo para texturizar lo con papel, sigue así¡¡
Almost yes! Very jagged, almost Maleficent horns, not so sleek as Loki. I love the metal look and the almost hammered effect. Again love your work and I'm going to give this helmet a shot!!
Looks amazing, Dali, but I just have a couple doubts. What do you do if the helmet is to small? And is it possible to replace the head bust with a baloon?
Dali Lomo First and foremost, thank you very much! Great walkthrough! I created mine yesterday but the helmet was extremely small for my big head. Do you know how to make an "XL" one? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
do you have a video on how to scale/ modify pepakura files? for example a 300 Spartan helmet,or the batman cowl/wolverine, the pieces that extend from the face needs to me measured as well? as opposed to just measuring from top of the head to the chin? please advise, better yet make an awesome video as you always do.
I love your videos, but you need some different songs for the background, cuz you use the same one everytime, though you do make great videos besides that
Thanks man. Yeah it took about a day. I spray painted mine black and silver. It's all I had at the time. Just got the last clear coat on it. Turned out a little small. But did it quickly just to see if I could. Thanks again brother. What do you use to pad the inside. Anything?
Before clear: i.imgur.com/ryvsg1F.jpg Didn't turn out perfect by any means but it was a fun first project. Half and half before and after: i.imgur.com/smWJ9hn.jpg After clear coat: i.imgur.com/KTEfu5f.jpg
Hey, so i'm really confused on how to do the paper mache toilet paper thing and i was wondering if you could write it out step by step for me. thanks that would be really helpfull.
+Mike Taylor compare my head before you start dali-lomo.blogspot.com/p/head-measurements.html , also ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w_g33mt_FnE.html :)
Hi, Im Erika, Im from Colombia, We are making this helmet with my boyfriend, but let me know if you have the malefica or maleficent, I care this much. Thank you ...Congratulations for your creativity.
hi i was going to print it but i wanted to know what size of paper (average) do i need cause they kinda look little in a A4 paper so i was wondering an A3?
Stacy Harris you mean 3:47 ? that's white mural color, water-based paint (can mix with water), very similar to my black acrylic paint (tube), only comes in bigger container & much much cheaper :)
brand new prop is like perfect frame quality blank canvas, nice but doesn't tell a story. neh, actually i add battle damages to hide the imperfection :D
