Probably one of the most inexpensive builds I've seen on the show, yet it really doesn't actually look half bad! Nice!

[@DarkClown06]

"OMG Dustin is back!" Did you guys listen to the whole video?

[@XxscopedevilxX]

+BlinkingEspurr Thinking the exact same thing

[@Minimetallico]

+Scoped Evil i heard it ,even me that im portuguese .and i was thinking the same thing too.dustin was my favourite builder ,dont you think?

[@kaladabong]

+Scoped Evil It's the internet age. Most people these days don't have the attention span for it sadly.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

+BlinkingEspurr Thank god he's back tho

[@XxscopedevilxX]

I'm happy he came back for an episode but it's sad to hear this is his final one :P

[@katkerz70]

Thank you! This was surprisingly easy for last minute Halloween costume for my 9 year old. For cardboard I used cereal box..much thinner than cardboard but still worked fine.

[@BrainBomb]

Guys Dustin announced a while ago he won't be around any more, this is his last episode. (he also mentions it at the end of this video) Thumbs this up so others can see.

[@DustFilmsOriginals]

Be sure to check out my show on Mashable DIY Costume Squad and I'm making DIY Props over on my channel too! :)

[@j.mizrahi]

HOLY CRAP! You're Dustin from Homemade Movies on Cinefix. Holy crap. They basically have you doing the Homemade How-Tos. That's freaking amazing.

[@NeXis4971]

We need a blaster to go with this

[@craigmacintosh6230]

You sir are a star.......Outstanding on all levels. Been looking for a way to do something like this and found it. I've 70-90% of what's needed as well. Thank you.

[@theskylarkvods4846]

Isaac Juntunen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@trollgon1328]

Dustin Welcome BACK!

[@Brutusoogabooga]

If you wanna make it into a tie fighter or at-at pilot helmet, glue a stormtrooper mask to the front. That’s what they did for the original movies!

[@DeathSystemGTDeathArmy]

YESSSS!!! DUSTIN MCLEAN IS BACK!

[@Puudelimorso]

rip dustin

[@LithiumProductions]

Great vid. For the dots though, I would suggest using some of the blank price stickers from garage/yard sale pricing packs.

[@Aldorthemerry]

Power armour helmet?

[@Aldorthemerry]

[@robertnel4791]

YES, YES POWER ARMOUR HELMET!!!!!

You should put a drink in there so you can drink from the hat using that straw

[@wizzzzle111111111111]

Noooooo you come back to leave us?!?! Well good luck on your future endeavors Dustin, love ya!!!!

[@Jayjee762]

This looks amazing but I can't find a cheap baseball helmet anywhere! Any helmets I find are really expensive

[@henriquesilva966]

Joshua Graham try a thrift store, discount store, second hand store, or dollar store

[@SidTheKid0902]

I found a seven dollar one of my local Goodwill

[@danielaguirre5210]

you guys should do a fully functional Pip-Boy, and because Star Wars VII is coming out a lightsaber.

[@roninglx]

aww man, why Dustin, why?

[@GJGAMING5]

?

[@roninglx]

+D.j.Y GAMING5 it's his last episode on the show

[@backonlazer791]

+roninglx WHAT?! Are you for real?

[@pascuahartsont.7776]

+Backon Lazer Did you watch the whole video? He mentioned it at 8:40. SO SAD :(

[@backonlazer791]

hartson pascua I did watch the whole video, but I think my brain deleted that part for my sake =,(

[@evan5791]

THANK YOU DUSTIN IS AWESOME

[@biggjiggins8987]

fallout: Pip-boy PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Dustin will be making x wing helmets until the apocalypse

[@parkern708]

You should make a Ghostbusters backpack on man at arms and they also might be able to fuse something with it or not at all.

[@spacebug30]

Too bad you can't buy any baseball helmets where I live.... Tried eBay, amazon, aliexpress, all without any result.

[@Eeeemomo]

Dude use something else

[@SunandGold]

I realise this is 4 years later for you, but I just did some googling, and I’m looking at trying a moped/motorcycle/motorbike helmet. You can get ones with visors that you can take off, or there are ‘open face’ helmets- which might mean you have a clear plastic visor, or you can take that out or colour it with cellophane or something.

[@eldrax7237]

I am a fan of star wars and I love your diy

[@robbefromme3163]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay dustin is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andredaoust6034]

[@nutmeg453]

Dusting back! Neck minat Why you always lyin!?!?

[@biodoener]

An Boba Fett helmet would be awesome, too :D

[@dawkinhamza4637]

Your back! I'm very happy

[@chlevs]

if you do everything before white spraypaint you can paint the cardboard light blue and have a megaman helmet

[@rscasados]

This is like Homemade Movies all over again!!! Why Dustin, why do you got to leave???? Anyways, Dustin good luck with the new Job! You will missed!

[@guraykaya6303]

[@poserdisposer6460]

OMG Dustin is back! YASSSSSS. DAS GOOD. can mame the Kylo Ren helmet, like, please, pretty please!?!?!

[@sjsat49]

yay dustin is back

[@evangelicalH]

DUSTIN! YES UR BACK

[@greencupcakes1]

It looks great and he did a really good job explaining everything but as with most of his projects it doesn't look "professional" , everything's just a bit slap dash and thrown together..... I know it's "affordable" but I make cheap things ALL THE TIME and still manage to make things look good quality even if I got my materials at pound land ..... I think it just comes down to the amount of effort made.....

[@TheWyman55_]

Green Cupcakes well surely you can make a great looking helmet then! Can't wait to see it!

[@Eeeemomo]

Green Cupcakes it’s not about how good it looks, it’s about how fun and simple it is. This is meant to be a fun project to do with your parents on a boring weekend.

[@andrew1171]

I think it looks good tbh

[@larryblack5963]

For the amount of stuff and cost, this thing looks awesome. I would like to see you make an original design for something that is affordable and looks good.

[@Mubeen12312]

HES BACK!!!!!

Please make The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

[@MichaelDBruce]

that baseball helmet would make a good base for the new xwing helmets from eoisode 7

[@madpandastudio4781]

Awesome making it now!

[@sdejanip]

Thanks, Dustin! All the best with what you do next.

[@spacebender3851]

Yay! I see my prop here! Good luck working in your other job!

[@offscreen6578]

You think you could do a video on the Endor Rebel Alliance helmets? I'm planning on turning my bike into an imperial speeder and was going to use Luke's helmet and crappy camouflage with it.

[@StephenJ117]

Wow that looks super easy to make!

[@oudomtan9828]

Can you make a gun, specifically Lucian's gun. Lucian is a League of Legends champion. I really hope that you will make this, because it looks legit.

[@UnexplainedGamers]

DUSTIN FINALLY

[@jdsouth95]

The proton pack would be awesome

[@xx_khaos_xx8434]

Finally he's back

[@xx_khaos_xx8434]

Oh never mind wwwhhhyyy wwwhhhyyy

[@HunterR909]

You should recall that the Y-Wing fighter Pilots in Star Wars also wore the SAME HELMET as Luke did!!

[@SESKE_5]

nope tho very similar

[@FullFrontalNerdity]

This is great. Next time I head to a con, I'll make sure to follow this to look like the shittiest X-Wing pilot ever.

[@labestiad.1927]

Really good video:) From Spain.

[@marybeths4297]

You make it look so easy. I had to cover my entire helmet in duct tape because it was too slick for the hot glue to stick to the surface.

[@talexander7217]

use some rough sandpaper on the spots you want to glue.

[@Awsomesauseisms]

I'm going as Furiosa to comic-con this year and desperately need help building her arm! Video please??

[@H0UND_FR0M_HE11]

I would love to see a Pokemon Pokeball that opens and closes.

[@TimeRift609]

Will you guys ever do Tyrion Fordring's Ashbringer?

[@rishikeshsawant901]

DUSTIN ISSS BACCK wooohouuu

[@noahbrainer1]

i love this video it is awesome I'm making one it is so fun and easy to make instead of spending 5000000 dollars i really like the goggles

[@moi5219]

You are the best host

[@not_micas_bolley5598]

I made one of these and put a x box mic in it and used it for that

[@ivanestrada7646]

You guys should build the dark drinker exotic sword from Destiny.

[@jackguest145]

Can you make a Resistance X-Wing pilot helmet now as they're different?

[@jacoblinde-laursen1810]

OMG DUSTIN!!!!!!

[@VariablePenguin]

I think a little heavier weathering would have worked better on this build. Some of the tape and marker parts look really bad up close and the weather could have hidden that better. Maybe not just Black paint either. Some browns and even white to simulate paint chipping on the colored areas would have made it look more realistic.

[@elwete7574]

kings man umbrella!

[@guidoberenstein4775]

Top tip: put a strip of foam into the chin strap

[@dawkinhamza4637]

I like the stencil at 5:36

[@cryolophosauruscantina7862]

can you try to do a video on a DIY Starwars Light Saber ( Kylo Ren's or Luke Skywalker's) Thank you ! I Love Your Videos They Are Awesome !!!

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Pro tip for anyone casually browsing the comments: football helmets are basically the same as baseball helmets, but they don’t have the rim

[@micahdunwoody6555]

Yaay, Dustin!

[@dropdanuke1313]

This is very Awesome

[@lunasheadspace9297]

When I make this I'm using my chin strap from my helmet.... Sometimes they come with the helmets but you can always buy one from big 5 around $3 n they clip on to a the helmet :)

[@ultragames4life]

You should do one for cylon helmets

[@JeffBrooklyn93]

You should do a snow trooper helmet please!!!(:

[@nykolostark]

I'm making a mask myself from the MMO Star Wars the Old Republic out of cardboard. I got a good idea how I'm gonna do it, but I'm stuck on something. I want to be able to see through the eye holes, but I don't want anyone to see my eyes into the mask . What kind of material do you recommend I use?

[@chayacardonick1483]

I was going to use stickers for the rebel decal instead of drawing it because I suck. Would you suggest me ordering the ones that are 2in or 4in?

[@lewis-ym7wo]

I never knew Luke done baseball Yoda must of been training him

[@willow1691]

Can you make Kylo rens helmet it looks so cool and I love your creations

[@EpicMILFTime]

Yup I always unload on the inside.

[@Adam-J-Sherman-Writer]

You should do a mandalorian helmet.

[@bumblebee3696]

Can go build Nightwing's electric erskima sticks from the Comics and Batman: Arkham Knight

[@peelypatrol788]

I wish Dustin would come back.
