How to Make a Helmet Pattern - Prop: Shop 

Wish I'd seen this before I did the Batman helmet... great info here! (and great shirt ! :)

Building up a cheap-o styrofoam head is genius! I have to give this a go, I have a weirdly large head so standard patterns rarely fit me, but doing a life cast is quite scary and time intensive.

Excellent info! Thanks! It's also brilliant to see professionals completely redo an entire project when it doesn't turn out as desired; helps me get through those times I'm having trouble with a build.

Thank you for teaching this, I am barely starting on the eva foam prop making world and this helps a lot!

Some feedback on your channel: I'm an international viewer (Australian to be exact), and have watched the channel for a while. I understand you're a US based channel and prop-makers, but perhaps you could mention other names of materials and such in different places of the world? Sometimes I see a video and go "what are they using here?". I did with the "plastic wrap" as it's known as something else here, but was one of the more obvious ones. Just some small feedback, and a possible way to improve your channel. Love the work you do, keep it up =)

Found this just in time to make my daughter's dragon-scale armor. I have a body mold made from a t shirt covered in duct tape and I was totally lost on how to make a template from it. This is the best channel ever!

Dont know what I would do whitout you guys!!

thanks for the great info. my roman helmets this summer were i little to small because of the cheap head i used.

Inspiring couple! Thank a lot for sharing with us your wonderful knowledge!!

Perfect timing! I need to think about mocking up that daedric helmet soon...

Makes me all tingly everytime Britt says "sewing". Shes now a full raid ready wizard.

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for!

hello britt and bill :) great tutorial as always,can i make a suggestion for a future video? i would like to know how do you create wood grain paint and texture over a foam piece :)

Ahhh! The Video I have been waiting for! :D Thanks So Much Britt!!!

This helped so much. Thank you!

Great tip! Also Yey, Hi Britt!

this is pretty great so far - any tips on what to look out for when placing the cutting lines for more complicated/more natural and less geometric shapes? I've seen this tape-pattern technique a lot, but couldn't find a more in-depth look at how to know where and how to cut - like, okay, it's obvious in some parts, like sharper edges and stuff - but what I mean is, like, how do you know it makes more sense to make a bunch of indents in a long shape, or a few big indents, and when to just cut it into two pieces? Where would you follow a curve in a straight line, and where in a -err- curved line? If I just cut smaller and smaller until they all lay flat, I'll probably end up with much too many tiny pieces that don't need to be so tiny or so numerous. Or how can you tell when an edge will need to be bevelled, and how much? Does it seem obvious when you have the real thing in front of you, or are there some signs you can look out for? Is it just trial and error? Because if so - any tips on not wasting a bunch of material?

Ellie skills shared! Subscribing...

Bill and brit Hi I'm 13 and I don't know if would be better to use a 8mm or a 10mm foam. The 10mm will be thicker and you know I'm short and kind skinny Plss help me

How would you go about making a template for a child-sized head? Is there a way to make a template directly on a child's head (without suffocating them etc)

Hey Punished Props, So i need your help. I absolutely love your channel and its super helpful, I'm fairly new the the cosplay fabricating world and i think i bit off a bit more than i can chew. I live in Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Comic-con is in May and i offered a friend to make him a 2016 God of War Kratos outfit (seens he already looks like him and i wanted to do a (Steven Universe) Rose quartz Valkyrie armor for myself and id love to see you can suggest specific videos or can you make a video off of this i don't know but anything will help. Can wait to hear from you guys, Thank you and Love ya!

this will assist my lady and i! thank you again, by chance did you record the making of your draugr costumes?? we would love to have any sort of help with the armor that Brit wears! thanx!!

1st! Your great!

cool!

Hi punish props. I have a question about paint. What kind of paint is the best for plastics. I'm making reapers gun from overwatch and I'm making it from a nerf gun. I'm at the painting stage and I'm really looking forward to finishing the prop.

Nice! new video :) (w00t) I was starting to go through withdrawal...

9 minutes late so definitely not first. BUT IT DOESNT MATTER BC THIS IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY VIEWING PARTY.

hi, have a question, where do you buy the Eva foam and what better to buy in thickness and density?

How do you print templates from inkscape?

I love I like to make stuff

0:09 - What a coincidence! I'm a cat petter, too!

I would like to enter to win the over sized helmet, i think it will fit my giant head :D
