ArmorAsylum - Iron Man foam helmet - raw real time building.

Showing it apears simpler than explaining it ;)
I plan to add annotations bit by bit, as well as a time table index below so you can jump at the desired step of the building process.
JFcustom's PDO file for foam available here : www.therpf.com/...
Foam mats available here : www.decathlon.f...
Enjoy ^^

[@KroszerDaniel915]

Looking back at vids like this remind me how far prop making at home has come since...

[@tylerjohnson4825]

i just realized i used thicker foam for my helmet. watching this has helped me out a lot. thank you!

[@ShowMeThePaws]

That is some wonderful work, the lines are non-existent from a distance and look very clean on closer inspection. Great job.

[@dovel1000]

Wow. This demo of yours has just made a pepakura project of mine easier. Thanks for putting your entire build up here!

[@phil7556]

I Appreciate the intricate detail and skill in the precision cuts. So much fine labor. Over all great final result.......except the final finish. with all the minute detail, i thought the finish was rough....

[@sadheartcreaciones]

Nice work, I appreciate real time videos. Really help

[@robocop5257]

Great job on the mk 6 design

[@Stuntguitarman]

I use the same mats they are very easy to use and cut for detailed work... good video :-)

[@aexion6992]

+Lee H Good to Vanquish costume too ;)

[@MrUnmake]

Great video! was thinking about how no one really showed it step by step. Your video is perfect (Y)

[@NoflikOfficial]

Very nicely done and thanks for the idea of using yogamats!

[@El_Yose]

Literally anybody who is into this are asuing yogamats.

[@NoflikOfficial]

+Yosephiab well no, most use Eva. These yogamats have a kind of film over them.

[@jianmarcobarbeau156]

i dot know anybody who does, mostly people do their research and don't.

[@GothicMixx]

great work, obviously lots of experience there

[@1unchb0x58]

Wow. Great quality! Truly amazing

[@dMahzuz]

Hi, best video I've seen on how to make armor, without a word and understands great. Greetings from Spain and thanks for the tutorial. Like and subscribe you deserve.

[@kaze1577]

woah, been waiting for this helmet build for a long time!

[@carloslesmes9528]

Un maestro del eva foom sin palabras esto es arte

[@FarSeeker8]

I have found that you have to *cover the entire edges* you are gluing together and then pressing them together while the glue sets *is very important.* If you don't the seams will be painfully visible. If you have an extremely long edge, you may do better to take it a section at a time.

[@WolfCommander]

wow only 3 hours to build the whole thing AND OUT OF FOAM (which is less forgiving and more expensive than paper) awesome!! so if i do this out of paper id just have to set aside 5-6 hours (an extra 2-3 because it will be my first "large" scale pepakura build)

[@Mikeological]

I love the audio track

[@sigpi]

It's like watching a mime for 3 hours straight.

[@marcosurbanogutierrez]

Para que ocupas cuchilla ??, podrias haber cortado con las uñas....

[@El_Yose]

Well, I am in a fairly big community and we all use yogamats. Eva is not thick enough, but I guess it's up to you

[@noman000000]

thank you.

[@Zephyr_Ch.]

Like the 3 first pages

[@kimpeinture8480]

very nice

[@joshtimasprime]

Beautiful build! I've made some pretty good stuff but its nothing in comparison to yours!

[@robocop5257]

Have you tried the classic RoboCop suit yet

[@ricmille10]

Hello my friend, that was one really nice iron man helmet. you did it just like you've been doing it for along time. great job. if you don't mind me asking. Maybe you can share me the foam template for this helmet? I really appreciate it. thank's

[@justinharrison9839]

can you do a video on building a Robocop armor as well

[@laurentg23589]

According to the final result (with paint); Did you use resin to harden your helmet and have a plastic appearance ?

[@ajithkumar-ko9ct]

Dude ur great - it will be great tat if u upload Batmobile templets 😊

[@forklift385]

what thickness foam is this? and no sealing of the edges of the foam? Ive been told to take the heat gun to the edges before you hot glue them

[@emoe1973]

Can you make a pepakura set of nail clippers? Jeez!

[@Solobama]

My build has takin for ever even with the cameo cutter that's crazy to see how fast you did this. Did you take any steps to harden the helmet and remove the faceplate

[@armorasylum731]

No, it's a one-piece helmet, and it remains flexible. Then the owner is free to coat it with resin and split it in several parts on his own.

[@janetteflores6388]

hey there, absolutely love this video and what you did!!!...now I tried to follow the links to get the print outs but I guess the thread has been deleted I was wondering if there was anyway of you emailing them; If you still had the pdf. files? Cuz I'm going crazy looking for them..LoL I'm crafty savvy not tech savvy

[@dodoanderko4237]

+Janette Flores Thread it is still there, currently downloading pep files... @ArmorAsylum: Thank you for tip on material and great video

[@doodlelegend9749]

Were are the pdf files??????

[@BITWarts3793]

can hot glue gun be used to stick polyethylene mats??? i think the temprature is too much for the material :(

[@michellesullivan3927]

JESUS CHRIST,,,,I'VE GONE DEAF !!!!

[@nicolelin7719]

lol

[@johntrueblue]

back to the days of silent films. Cant see the piano guy anywhere..

[@michellesullivan3927]

john pedersen lol

[@TheNITRO68]

Thank god I thought I was the only one :)

[@erikaemeraldprizzi311]

Do you find that the natural curvature of the foam lends itself to being used for this purpose, and if so, did you specifically cut parts so that when removed from the foam they bent to your advantage?

[@ReneeNme]

TRIM YOUR NAILS !!!

[@erbePPazzo]

nice work! is there a way to make that Decathlon's foam smoother before painting?

[@mgoldeneye]

Amazing!!! =)))

[@ganeshk7221]

Sir, A little help.. I am going to create a Helmet.. At the Eyes part.. How can I place LED lights? I mean if I place them directly How do I see? Thank you in advance Yours Sincerely Ganesh. K

[@RoxusRemo]

you have them pointing down from above your eyebrows.

[@yoamal1187]

You kinda cant, everyone who makes this just opens the mask

[@ziggybaker3446]

Can you explain why you cut out strips of foam during the assembly process? Was it to get the seams to close better? It's hard to tell since there's no audio/explanation. Thanks!

[@dariusseals2307]

till this day, i can't find a good copy of the files for the foam build (iron man helmet)

[@monstermask3212011]

Hi I try to make this helmet... but shape of this helmet is hard to make in one place.. so If I glue all parts together is ok but how to put this:P or maybe use some glue inside to hae it in one place and then cut for 3 parts?

[@gippyboys4632]

Awesome

[@Amber-si7kx]

listen to some death metal while watching, XD

[@YesImZharif]

What is the best way to fill the gaps to cover the seams on foam?

[@ReneeNme]

YesImZharif Concrete.

[@milagrosruiz6114]

maybe you can put the molds in one link please

[@Toretto208]

Ma perche a mè viene diversamente se ho seguito gli stessi suoi passaggi!!!!!

[@deanmcm6548]

Would it be possible to make this helmet with 10mm Eva foam mats?

[@toxich1n1]

wow, you are using a fitness mat to do that.

[@JaimieLeaDanforth]

do you have any child size templates for a 10-12 year old boy?

[@kebinhobinho]

no progama pepakura voce mesmo pode calcular o tamanho que voce quer

[@VyranisVane]

why did u fix the face part with glue??

[@dimitrisKarakwttas]

hello!first of all thnx for the upload it helped a lot!could you tell me what are you using to make paper cutter sharper?i can't seem to find anything like that.Thanks in advance!

[@hectorarellano960]

You can use an exacto knife

[@horochigundam7648]

this cool I'm doing a Iron Man articulated animatronic look on my channel this goal miss

[@noman000000]

hi you,r awesome .i,m just starting my iron man but i don,t know where to get the foam.can you help..

[@petermoutons]

It's just a yoga mat

[@TheTasteoflive]

Hello I really liked your video but I have a question to harden and then paint when polyurethane foam how do you do? thanks

[@monstermask3212011]

You need to mix water with some glue for wood(white glue) and put about 5-10 layers. Then you put primer and then normal color

[@TheTasteoflive]

monstermask3212011 thanks

[@cryofx7538]

Plot twist: this guy is actually yinsen.

[@ravindrasharma396]

[@santiagomez8619]

can you tell me where are the descricion images for printing

[@amranabdulwahabliew3776]

How to find the link for the drawing pattern?

[@simonhewitt8031]

can you tell me which file you used for this helmet. in the link you provided there are a few foam downloads. this was a great video too .. thanks

[@armorasylum731]

The first of these few downloads contains the file you're looking for.

[@simonhewitt8031]

Thanks. I found it and have made the helmet and am half way through a king the chest armour.

[@arthurmossle9530]

What size was the person who wore it?

[@TheKaptainFitzy]

i opened another tab to listen to music while this played. really wish the audio was fixed, and u had a time-lapse.

[@richardlbsman]

what may i use to make an EVA foam helmet rigid?

[@fantasmagamers]

that depends on what you mean by "rigid", you can either add cardboard on the inside, or, you could spraypaint it with some coats of vinilic /pvc glue, or better the glue carpinters use, its like vinilic glue but more dense... Though, if you use the second choise, you should use several layers, if not, it will crack and doesn't look nice... an other choise, is to use more foam =P instead of a 5mm one, use a 10 mm.

[@olson_media]

is it easy to bend and mold the shape???

[@jnplnrvl9581]

ain't no body got time for that!

[@RAKHALILAChannel]

Thickness foam ?
