DIY CAPTAIN AMERICA HELMET E3

[@MrMcGribble]

You are a freaking PIMP! Man I have wanted to make one of these with foam instead of cardboard for a while and this is the clearest tutorial I have seen on how to make this. GREAT JOB!!!

[@AdilsonPinheiro7339]

Tutorial and explanatory. I've done the shield, now I will complete the rest of the uniform for the surprise on my son's birthday. Thanks RAW CUSTOMS.

[@BetterDeadThanSorry]

Most of the videos I've found weren't as detailed and easy to follow as yours. Thanks a bunch!

[@finkledo]

damn! I hope you keep on building! I can't believe how easy you made this look! Thanks for making videos!

[@tasteswish1712]

This is exactly what I've been looking for for my flash cosplay! Thanks dude!

[@ravenartsandgraphics4456]

Great tutorial. VERY cool ideas at the end.

[@CommanderCool76]

Pretty cool, simple and easy helmet. I know I will me making these for the kids soon.

[@Driaan]

awesome video! could you do a spiderman tutorial? a big thing about spiderman movies is that they use an undermask to define the shape of the head. could you do a tutorial video making a spiderman face shell possibly?

[@jamesmcgee157]

Hi. What colour blue did you use? Great helmet. I think my little lad would love one

[@spiritpop8298]

thank you for this! I used it to make cap’s helmet from the first avenger and it looks pretty good so far! I do have one question though, does the blue paint chip off of the plasti dip?

[@Gimpdiggity]

When you are saying to cut 1/4" in from the edge of the pattern, do you mean along the entire length of that edge, or just the distance that you mark off in the video?? Thanks for the tutorial and mods to the pattern!

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Thanks for watching. Make your cut from the front to the center mark

[@Gimpdiggity]

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!!! I've ordered a heat gun and a styrofoam head, I'll get to cutting tomorrow and hopefully build it on Wednesday.

[@ryanl1414]

Can you do the navy Captain America mask with the chin strap from The Winter Soldier?

[@betodiaz6169]

Very awesome vídeo!! In the future could you do a vídeo on the Wolverine helmet?

[@paulrhodes482]

Just came across your channel! Really do enjoy your videos. Wanting to make this helmet for my nephew he would love it. Can you tell me what airbrush gun, compressor, and paint you use? Thanks again I will continue to work through all of your videos leaving a thumbs up of course. Have a wonderful week. -Paul

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

I use an awata gravity fed airbrush it's around $200.00 if your just getting started I recommend using the airbrush from harbor frate it's around $20.00 it's good for beginners. I use a 2 gallon compressor from home depot thanks for watching

[@ronsanders2606]

Thanks for your work. Why not make a pattern modified for the foam so as not to spend extra time with modifications?

[@gonebats]

Very good, you seem to be great at foam helmets. I would like to see you do the flash and batman arkham origins style.

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Flash helmet coming soon

[@itcglobalservice3013]

sorry, man awsome vid! can you tell me wich kind of colors do you use to... and the foamy have to be white? cant be blue ? thanks!

[@skilllevel2]

Great work! Found the pattern but was hoping for a PDF format so I could print as tiles and splice together.

[@zns72]

Love the tutorial. I found some foam sheets the size you mentioned but they are only 3mm at Hobby Lobby. Where did you find your 5mm ones?

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Thanks ! I got my foam at hobby lobby as well. You might try talking to the manager at your store. The store i use has a large selection of colors and thichness selections

[@stephenspencer8356]

Great work dude! I have an edited idea for the captain America pattern. You could do the comic mask of hawk eye

[@josephnovak2630]

How do I print the template in the correct size, sorry I've never done this before.

[@adrielfit5999]

Your awesome bro thanks. Also what kind of foam side you use?

[@HelpMe4545]

That Wolverine idea is cool as hell

[@codymosby3650]

What color of Rust-Oleum paint did you use? Looks like brilliant blue but I'd like to know for sure.

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

sorry that build was 2 years ago I don't remember most likely royal blue

[@codymosby3650]

RAW KUSTOMS That's ok, thanks for replying. I think I found something similar.

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

good luck on your build I would love to see a pic when your done

[@codymosby3650]

RAW KUSTOMS Thanks, I'll probably make a video and send you the link.

[@codymosby3650]

RAW KUSTOMS Hey man I'm sorry this took sooo long to reply but I've been super busy and the build took way longer than I planned, didn't finish the video but here are some pics plus.google.com/112641297867369313776/posts/BYdRCj51U2T

[@benlrogers1986]

just found your channel and looking thought your vids,... great stuff!.. any terminator projects youve done?

[@karinaroque7652]

cool but is it made of paper or metal

[@vpher]

Great work! Can you please provide a link to the pattern?

[@stephenpratt9482]

I've never used plastidip before. What is it for? Is it used to make the foam more paintable? Or is it to make the foam more stiff?

[@freeforall682]

Could you please make a Wolverine Cowl. I love all of your episode.

[@doctorspartan6334]

i have a pretty large head... so how would i find out if it's the right size before i made the whole thing? That's my only question. Besides that great video very detailed and easy. :)

[@carlpowers7291]

I have purchased many of your products and a lot of helmets/ masks. On your videos you mainly use contact cement. On the captain America helm you are using hot glue. Which is better in your opinion?

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Hey Carl good to hear from you. This is an early build when I was first learning. I recommend contact cement for most builds however hot glue is good for adding poly foam inside helmets and gluing to fabric Thanks for watching

[@markpizanajr.476]

Question for anybody, but do you spray the inside of the helmet with the plastic spray stuff also?

[@davesykes1966]

Great ideas in there. Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge !

[@jessb7014]

this is awesome!! just trying to work out how i can print it now lol. how much smaller did you make it for your daughter?? im looking at making a batgirl cowl. really dont want to pay the $150 plus one that everyone else get, i just cant justify spending that much money.

[@ChadBenz]

Fuck yeeeeees! Thanks dude. I used the same stencil but with cardboard and it turned out like garbage. This Styrofoam one looks waaay better. Goes with my shield perfectly. Keep up the good work my dude!

[@DanteMG91]

thanka for the video. How i can do my mask with the material to mask vatman vs superman? silicon latex? thnx

[@starramazanova7599]

Can you please make the winter soldiers mask I'd love to see you do it

[@cbjavengers6722]

Do you sell them? Id buy a captain america helmet

[@curtiss.arnold1318]

love this, using it for my Cap costume!!! DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN

[@vichoacosta1268]

Dude, just do it yourself

[@curtiss.arnold1318]

I did! Lol, the 'do it for the children' bit was because a buddy of mine who has an Iron Man costume and I are volunteering at a children's hospital as Cap and Stark.

[@vichoacosta1268]

+Curtis S. Arnold Hahaha, I thought you ment that he had to make a special tutorial for a kid version of the helmet 😁. Anyway, I think it's so noble from you and your friend to do that for the kids. Good luck with it 😉

[@curtiss.arnold1318]

Hahh, yes! Lol. But thanks!

[@gamacios7956]

Insane! Awesome builds.

[@zns72]

Finally found the 5 mm foam but the finished helmet was too small for my head. The ear holes were two high above my ears as well. Looks like I'm going to have to modify the plan.

[@Christopher_Lucy]

The original plan dosent fit my head. What did you do to modify it for an adult size?

[@DALILOMODIY]

good job! :)

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Thanks man I've been watching your channel for years.you do some awesome work

[@toledobatman]

where did you get the template for the "A" and the wings?

[@cbjavengers6722]

Do you sell the ones you have made? I would love to buy a captain America helmet. Have you done one with a chin strap?

[@ricardomadureiramendes3993]

Hi man!! Great video!!! But, how is the size you've printed the pattern? Keep the good job!! :)

[@joseramirez-nc1xo]

Can this work for a deathstroke helmet, with some mods?

[@Brian1212]

Quick question, could I use like a blow dryer for hair in place of the heat gun? Or will it not get hot enough or something

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

I've never used a hair dryer but I think it would work on 5mm foam. You should try it on some scrap foam first good luck.

[@Gimpdiggity]

Where did you find the foam that is large enough to fit the whole side pieces on one sheet? The largest I can find is 12x18, and the helmet won't fit on that. Thanks!!

[@Jacksione]

Awesome tutorial you could make that one villain mask into a Sith Lord mask...

[@maxconner5204]

The first thing you spraid on fast the base coat??

[@paulagomes7303]

That amazing!.... I liked very this helmet, congratulations!

[@ismaelcova893]

New Suscriber. Excellent Videos Man!

[@christopherryan4214]

What kind of paint airbrush do you use? Enamel paint?

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

I use wicked colors by createx it's a water base sold at hobby lobby thanks for watching

[@mikden1129]

I'm looking for a video on a captain America costume from winter soldier

[@bradleymoc]

Like all your videos, very, very nice

[@ninjaco2898]

Instead of using an airbrush, can I just hand paint it?

[@ceciliagallegosgonzalez7738]

how do you make the liner for the captain america helmet

[@codyhiltgen6895]

Do you sell these props like if someone offered to pay you for it

[@ravindrasharma396]

Which age of child can wear it?

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

You have to size it down. This is an old video. I'm not sure if the links are any good anymore.

[@erinyusek]

where did you get your airbrush from?

[@vitorlm1000]

which the name of the material where you draw the helmet mold? I do not speak English and could not understand , can you tell me the name ?

[@thickmclargehuge4448]

Vitor lm craft foam sheet 2mm thick 9''x12'' which can be bought at most places for like $1-2 dollars each

[@princess272406]

It's actually 5mm foam in 12x18 sheets. Can be found at Hobby Lobby or any craft supply store. Can also be found on-line. The brand used here is Silly Winks (foam sheets).

[@idangle21]

how can i find the plans for the helmet? i can't find them

[@riyarinaldi3532]

Can i do it with cardboard

[@elopers6424]

how did you make it sturdy? :O

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Using the plasty dip and paint will stiffen the helmet but it will still have a little flex

[@euqueroferreira1034]

parabéns hello brasil

[@tattooedup35]

can you post a better link for the type of foam used? I bought the wrong type the first time.

[@BrainDeadBoffin]

How do you measure your head to know how much foam you need for each part? I've got quite a big head.

[@doctorstrange2101]

What size should this picture be printed as?

[@davidrobertson536]

what type foam are you using ?

[@JGDeRuvo]

You might want to put links to your parts in the description.

[@ronnycastel2472]

THANKS DUDE! Nice job and to easy.

[@kuldipbinning1989]

That at was fantastic, made it look easy.

[@Unknown-yq4dh]

Will a hair dryer work like a heat gun?

[@sharkdoodoo9749]

I've recently bought a Heat gun. I have tried a hair dryer but it's not the same. The hair dryer takes longer to Heat the foam and the foam dosent really heat up the same way a Heat gun would.

[@jmpgaming89]

That's really cool man!

[@dominicpassword8440]

Awesome video. Thanks.

[@warchild888]

Great job man, your awesome

[@FrankJosephHall]

Whenever I use a "round object" the foam doesn't concave in enough to make the right shape. Any suggestions?

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

You may need to heat the foam longer you can reheat the foam as many times as you need to.

[@theyungmak]

What's the point of having all the triangle indents on the template if you don't use them on the actual foam?

[@anarchsnark]

+Jason Yung The template originally is for a cardboard build which doesn't have the same flex as foam. In the vid you can see him modify the template (taping the curve indents) for foam.

[@makevoidedits]

Great video. Your foam is glueing together very easily. I'm having issues...

[@Alice_Walker]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you!!

[@justinharrison9839]

I love your work

[@levioviatt3741]

instead of a heat gun would a hair dryer he hot enough?

[@doctorspartan6334]

Probobly

[@wolfpack4793]

I want the cap suit complete

[@justinharrison9839]

hi I wanted to know how to size PDF file using my head measurements which is 23 1/8 58.7 73/8how can measure my head size to make my captain america helmet the way you but with my own style to it

[@summermontoyaphotography2052]

where do you find your fome

[@ZenHulk]

I can not find 5mm foam anywhere not Walmart or Amazon and the 2mm doesn't come in 12x18. Post some material links, but it looks to me you're not even seeing these posts.

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Gary Oldham you can buy 5mm foam at hobby lobby the do sale on line. Hope this helps

[@angelicanagles8468]

muy lindo y creativo

[@kylejensen691]

how do yo print out the right size

[@megatron8490]

Is this eva foam?

[@billybob-el7fh]

Post more man! Lol. If you want to grow your channel faster then I'd suggest getting an Instagram account and post progress pictures of what your building. You can also put a link to your KZbin in your bio. I have a prop page on IG and its awesome with the amount of support you get. Hope I helped out!

[@RAWKUSTOMS]

Thanks for the idea i started a instagram page

[@vincesilmon6770]
