Please *Subscribe* if you found this video helpful/entertaining! What would you like to see us make?

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

is that a welding visers that you are using

[@Chef_PC]

After watching this, it makes me even more want a Mando episode of Boba Fett actually masking and painting his armor.

[@make432]

That would be amazing, just 50 minutes of sanding and taping off colors haha.

[@IntrepidDawn]

You've outdone yourselves David and James! I'm honored to see you finish my kit to such a high level of detail. Major respect! =)

[@make432]

Thank you so much! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you kits, the detail and quality was just amazing!

[@frog6375]

Do you sell the file of the helmets you make?

[@IntrepidDawn]

@@frog6375 The files are GrizzlyMountainDesign files and available via Charlie's patreon.

[@frog6375]

Thanks for replying I’ve been looking for hours for files like those

[@printedpropscreations3017]

Looks great! - I would definitely recommend trying out some liquid latex instead of toothpaste tho as it is just as cheap, but will dry in less than a few minutes and you can peel it off with your fingers as soon as the paint is touch dry

[@make432]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Awesome build, dudes! Some of the best I’ve seen!

[@make432]

Thanks!

[@bobbymccourt6794]

Just saw this. Best method I’ve found from my large scale military modeling is hairspray for unbelievably realistic paint chipping using acrylic paints. Helmets look awesome !

[@make432]

We have heard of the hairspray method, good to hear it works well. We will keep it in mind for our next chipped-paint build. Thanks!

[@RayshellChill]

The toothpaste technique is amazing! Simply to do and works great. Ty for that fantastic idea. Much easier to clean off then Liquid latex.

[@make432]

Thanks glad you found it so useful!

[@ericsonleecosplay4625]

[@adamgullion7341]

I'm actually doing the same thing as well with the cleaner look.. Oh and I'm getting rid of the dent in it too... Ima make mine crispy clean

I would love to make a motorcycle helmet out of these!!

Glad you like it!

[@YuriDoesStrikeball]

now, Vader, it just needs to be done

[@make432]

So many helmets to build... we need more printers!

[@ericsonleecosplay4625]

3d printed is really perfect than foam craft

[@make432]

We think so too (most of the time haha) 💪

[@animationandstuff6072]

Great work guys, I never seen someone use cinnamon for rust, but it looks pretty good! And with the toothpaste, there is a (I think it’s called) masking gel, that does the same thing but it’s a little more sticky. Anyways great projects I’ve been real excited for this one, and I am excited for future projects as well!

[@make432]

Thanks! We aren't really sure were we picked up the cinnamon technique but it works really well!

[@kevingreenfield]

Whst a cool. Obama fert helmet

[@make432]

haha, thanks!

[@buffaloboi1432]

LETS GOOOO

[@Neosh1ft]

I know right?!

[@make432]

ooooooookay

[@LivingLambeaux]

Both of those came out excellent. I have to try the tooth paste method. I have a Mando helmet printed that I'm ready to get started on, so I'll have to check out that video. BTW, I'm shocked you guys only have 981 subs! The quality of the video I was expecting one of those 6 figure accounts! Well done

[@make432]

It's shocking how well it works! We'd love to see it when you're done. Thank you, that means so much to us!

[@namasbouer4075]

Went a bit overboard on the damage and weathering for the helmet, but these are nonetheless very cool.

[@make432]

Haha thanks! We do like a weathered helmet

[@RayshellChill]

Okay , I’m at a stand still for what top coat to use. I’m doing the weathered Boba Fett with the Rubies helmet. I don’t know what to use. I used a Matt on my blaster redo. A Rubies also. Came out great. And the Matt I bought was horrible and I had to redo the whole blaster. Did not bother with a top coat second time around for fear of that happening again . I bought a different Matt. The one you used, but I’m hesitant to use it. Your final answer? Thanks

[@make432]

The top coat we used has held up really well!

[@wyattspop]

How did you sand the front 2 face pieces? The "dents" make it so tough

[@make432]

Lots of time, sadly no quick tricks for this part :/

[@wyattspop]

@@make432 That's ok, I kind of figured, I don't mind the process

[@DevonAllen07]

Damnn this is awesome! I was curious do you know what the best glue is for PLA prints? I am printing a boba fett mask right now but in multiple pieces. Im def going to try this paint technique!

[@make432]

We usually use CA glue a.k.a. superglue but we might start using some other gluing methods in the future!

[@carlosguijon8053]

I use an epoxic glue. It almost welds pieces together. Used it in Mando and Bobas helmet since I printed the helmets in 4 pieces

[@TheOniDaddy]

Try Salt next time? Instead of Toothpaste.. Also nice weathering results.. Hairspray > Salt > Paint > Remove Salt (after drying ofc).

[@make432]

Thanks for the tip! We have heard good things about the salt technique we will have to give it a go on the next weathered project!

[@aceai7]

What is the visor that you used? The helmets look amazing!

You should try and make baby groot

OOOH that is a great suggestion - we are working on some planters for a future project but a Baby Groot style moss garden could be something cool!

it bothers me that the cheeks are grey😭 theyre dark green. amazing work tho

[@make432]

Thanks! Yeah we had to make some compromises with the spray paint we could get our hands on!

[@sauerkraut9183]

for the money you have to spend for the kits you could buy an cr10s and just prind your own for 12$

[@make432]

This is true - but some people might not have any other need for a 3D printer, or not have the space to dedicate.

[@DatFunnyPerson]

When you sand and put on new primer. You are not talking about spray putty / spray filler? You are talking about actual primer?

[@make432]

Great question! We actually just use Rust-Oleum Automotive Primer - amzn.to/3b8RWZd We try to keep most of our supplies Hardware Store friendly and this filler/primer does a great job at filling in layer lines and is such a breeze to sand!

[@coughsyrup7369]

hooooowwww the hell are there NO layer lines

[@make432]

Haha lots and LOTS of sanding/filling/priming a good portion of all of our projects are sanding and prepping for paint - Would you be interested if we did a more detailed video just on our sanding/finishing process?

[@jackallred6433]

Too much paint chipping. Less is more lol

[@make432]

It is definitely "weathered" haha

[@BobDog72]

Are these made out of plastic or metal

[@make432]

Plastic!
