Hey guys! So in preperation for the Mandalorin Painting video (which I'm sorry is taking so long) i decided to make this video a standalone. It has some info that doesn't just apply to Mando helmets so hopefully it helps a wider variety of builders!
As said in the video, this is only my method and you're free to try alt methods as you see fit!
Enjoy! Below are 2 quick links to the stuff i got here in the UK.

Timing! I’m painting a Mando helmet right now, and this came at just the right time. I went to a local car tinting service and asked for an off cut. I was expecting a piece about the size of a sheet of paper. They gave me a few feet. More than enough for what I need. Seems once you say “I’m making a Mandalorian helmet”, everyone wants to help you. Thanks for this video.

@LexifromZargon Год назад

window tint thats genius! ima just cut up water bottles and heat form them! Edit / Update : it worked really good and saved me a bunch of money HOWEVER make sure to actually follow the tutorial and not just "wing it" My first time did also come out bubbly. and i did forget the overhang so i had glue parts on my visor 100% my fault though. i also learned that rubing a bit of water + dishsoap on the inside before you wear it will prevent it from fogging up from breathing. also i ended up using one of those clear boxes from gummy bears and it worked pretty well. make sure to test beforehand if you can heatform it. also highly recommend investeing in a neck fan / ventilator it is a LIFE SAVER! all in all genius tutorial saves you money like everything needs practice.

Hey Frank, I had a question literally every sub would want to know, where do we find the best quality files for a Mando helmet? How to tell which ones are good when every 3D site has like 50 versions? I mean you don't want to spend a week ripping all those pieces (plus wasting costly filament) only to find it was a crap set of STL's or better for a different printer than the one you own, right? Thanks much

@FranklyBuilt Год назад

I think great ape studios has the best mando helmet files. But Do3d and Akira looks just fine IMO

@Zatnn 6 месяцев назад

Love seeing stuff like this, late to the game but another few bits of advice for the window tint stuff. If you can, get a hold of some air release tail light tint, might not be as dark but stack them like stated in the video. You'll have such an easier time applying this to the visors with less air bubbles. If you ever get them and can't waste any tint, use your blade to poke the bubble, apply a touch of heat from the heat gun and work the air out to the pinhole. Another touch would be to also have tac rags, taking the protective plastic causes a lot of static, especially with acrylic. You have no idea how much dust that will attract and will cause air bubbles and horrible specs. Best part, just practice and try have fun. Rome wasn't built in a day. Hope this helps at least someone.

@bzqp2 2 года назад

I never was able to bend it with the foil on the inside of the visor. It gets compressed by the visor's curvature and bubbles start appearing after a few hours. I would STRONGLY recommend having the foil on the outside of the curve so it's under slight stretching tension. And Jeez. I've never figured out the velcro trick. It's such a better solution to just gluing the visor it...

Put a few drops of soap in a spray bottle and fill the rest with water and spray it on the plastic sheet and the back side of the tint, it will squeegee out perfectly

Question: Can you use the heat gun on the plastic if the tint has already been applied? Will it cause any damage to the tint or mess it up? It'd make it easier for what I'm planning if you could but I wanted to make sure

Hi ! Thanks for this video I did not know the materials you use until now. I have a question I have to make a computer screen for my robot cosplay. I would like to see through, but without being seen from the outside. Could stacking the layers of colored vinyl give this effect? Or so I also thought of using led foam. But it's a first time for me… Any advice would be appreciated and greatly appreciated

@legosoldi3r Год назад

if you haven't figured it out by now, there's 1 way window tint available for cheap, or there's "tint in a can" that has a good effect but more for display pieces, or there's reflective tint that @galacticarmory uses for his star wars/halo helmet builds that's pretty cool and works in conjunction with dyeing the visor
