I'm the Evil Ted who makes props and costumes. I’ve worked on Star Trek Into Darkness, Walking Dead, Fifth Element and Guyver, among lots of others. I've made pretty much everything out of every material, but foam is my favorite.
I'm here to share my skills and shortcuts, and help you learn how to make foam costumes and props, too.

Wow Ted! Its really nice to see that such a film prop/costumer pro as yourself share with everybody! The Kleg light in the background gave it away that your a pro.

@rhiannonhoban7937 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for these tutorials! My 10 year old is a "Brony", and we go to the BronyCon convention in Baltimore every year. Last year I sewed my costume, but this year I wanted something way cooler. I bought a heat gun, planning on making my costume out of EVA foam, but didn't know where to start. Your videos have been an AMAZING starting point! My Little Pony is in NO WAY "badass", but I plan on us looking great this year, due in large part to your in-depth tutorials!

@EvilTedSmith 8 лет назад

+Rhiannon Hoban Thank you. You are a great father for helping your son make a cool foam costume.

@brittanislarp3850 10 лет назад

If you do a LOT of Plastidip spraying, you can get the brush-on canisters (or buy it by the gallon), thin it 2 PD/ 1 naphtha and spray it through a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP electric sprayer (as long as you clean the gun with naphtha afterwards). That's what I use when making large production runs of LARP weaponry/armor. PDing with The harbor freight electric sprayrr

Fantastic Tutorial. Lots of great tips and tricks. I used Acrylic gel medium for foam Iron Man (doesn't crack, it's cheap you can mix paint into it, but i used a brush as i didn't want to wreck my airbrush. I ended up with faint brush lines :( That Siphon spray gun is going to be an amazing addition to my arsenal -Thanks again Ted, please keep making videos!

@joshmcleod2179 7 лет назад

I think this is really cool. i do alot of foam work myself. I think that this helmet needs a half visor almost Dredd style like out of a motorbike visor or something. Id leave it up to you would be interesting to see what you come up with. i know its only a simple build but think it would just jazz it up a little.

Thank you for these absolutely fantastic tutorials! Since I kept watching because I want to make an inquisitor helmet I actually full on squealed when I saw that was your second helmet. If you could make a tutorial for that it would be absolutely amazing, though I suppose I can probably figure it out from what I learned from this series. Still, it would be absolutely amazing :) Thanks again!

SUPER HELPFUL! By the way, you mentioned possibly making a tutorial on the Dragon Age helmet... I like that idea, as that style of helmet is quite a bit different compared to the one you made in your tutorial.

These are the easiest to follow tutorials on EVA costume making I've seen. Much thanks. One question though - I was thinking how cool the helmet would have looked with the base structure being the textured side and the detail being the smooth side. Is there any issue with joining the textured surface to the smooth surface?
