HELLDIVERS 2 HELMET | Build | Cosplay Tutorial

[@dandanny2036]

Finally a helldivers prop video without 3D printing

[@DanMiniScruff]

real

[@GooiYingChyi]

Real x2. I just feel kinda stuck with 3D printing techniques because they all require you to buy model files ($10-$15), and then send it to a print shop to print it. Not against 3D printing, it is just not viable for a lot of people (or too expensive), because it can cost you $100 just to get a simple model printed (paint job not included). I'd rather spend my money on paints because that is the part I enjoy the most. And unless you are going for a cosplay contest, I don't think it needs to be THAT polished.

[@thomaswakefield6889]

​​@@GooiYingChyiyou do know that you can get 3D files for free as well. As I already said in another comment. 3D printing cost just as much as foam building. Hell I build armor out of leather as well. 3D printing and foam built armor are easy to do. Learn how to build armor using leather and I bet you won't complain about how expensive 3D printing is

[@bestwing8176]

This is more lore accurate. with how fast Im dying in helldivers 2, theres no doubt in my mind that the cadet armor isnt made out of foam.

[@GooiYingChyi]

Well, it never says it isn't, so it remains plausible. (More likely than you'd think).

[@Ilovejamsandwiches]

The armor isn't made of foam. You have been reported to the nearest democracy officer. ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[@red.panda23]

So many videos use 3d printing now compared to several years ago. Foam is way more accessible. I hope you make some more helmet designs

[@ashenwarriorprops]

And just as good if not better in the right hands!

[@GooiYingChyi]

Yes, I feel that 3d printing is overrated. But it is just not viable for most people unless you already own a 3d print shop.

[@thomaswakefield6889]

​​@@GooiYingChyilol I own several 3D printers as well as 5000 dollars worth of foam building materials. It cost just as much to 3D print a helmet as it does to foam build one. The post processing is damn near identical with just a few differences. 3D printing gives you better details while foam building takes less time to create something. If you are into cosplay and con conventions I suggest learning both. Also a person can buy a really good 3D printer for as low as 150 bucks. The most costly product to buy for 3D is the printer, the price of the filament or resin varies but usually no more expensive than the cost of buying foam

[@balolot7909]

I hope he does the whole armor set next, 3D printing is hella expensive and foam is the shit!!

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Foam is better looks better, less fragile, and just the bombs, yes I’m doing the whole armor set

I do love your videos, guys. You always make my day. And no Liam, you are definitely not my mom. The helmet came out super cool and I hope mine ends up at least halfway as good. Thank you for what you do!

[@Tildegard]

dude you make some of the best foam props and helmets I've ever seen currently building an ncr ranger helmet, definitely adding this one on my to-do list aswell

[@Mkpwns]

Cant wait for the whole armor the helmet looks awesome!

[@giddymonicdemon4432]

Super Earth thanks you for your service 🦅

[@stayatfoamdadcreations8591]

Gonna have to get high grit paper for my oscillating multi tool! I get obsessed with smoothness as well.

[@ashenwarriorprops]

It’s the best part!

[@SKSProps]

Great helmet Ashen! some very tough angles in there and it looks great!

[@SilverBack_Props]

Commenting for the algorithm gods. Great work brother and it’s awesome to see you posting vids again!

[@incap6038]

I'll be making two of these, one for me and one for my brother. It should be really good gift

[@KrystaKream]

It's good to see some foam options out there A lot of work is needed for foam or 3d printing to get them ready but either way works

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Agreed! I have no issue with either option. I was jokingly throwing shade. I do prefer to make stuff by hand before I print tho!

[@Peter116]

thanks for give free the template i apreciate that

[@leolemaire1870]

this build is wicked.....some amazing work...thank you

[@mistahjay5553]

my brother in democracy! my foamsmithing sucks plus i print in multiple pieces so its quite a bit of work anyway but wow tysm i may try this :)

[@thesladeo]

Dude best helmet seriously... Even 3d printed ones

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Thanks so much!!

[@thesladeo]

One question tho... When you say you do the 800 grit sanding... Do you just go to straight 800 grit and just sand the hell out of it to get it this smooth... Or do you do the typical start with lower and work your way up to 800?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

@@thesladeo depends on my time crunch! This one I had pretty smooth from the get go so I pretty much just hung out at 800 for a bit

[@Berni_EDG]

Great stuff from a talented artist! Also Ryan is a good editor.

[@zacharylindahl]

OOOh I'll have to do a helldivers build for dragoncon

[@kaivyn73]

the best helldivers helmet build i've seen ! Will you make the rest of the armor?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Thanks! Sure will!

[@triplesierra6953]

This is amazing, you sir, get my like and sub.

[@_pier_7796]

Your video saved me. I decided to give a gift to a friend of mine and thanks to your tutorial I finally made him a Helldiver helmet. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have a question, do you have any advice regarding the visor?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Hey friend so glad!! I vacuum formed my visor but some standard acrylic should work finf

Thanks so much!!

[@gergelyszuts8510]

Wooow, incredible! I loke it. 🙂😁 Do you plan to make some historical helmet too? Like late medieval burgonet, or Napoleonic cuirassier or probably late roman berkasovo? Pls build the last 😉😁

[@ashenwarriorprops]

I’ve done some historical but mostly medival fantasy armors as I think fantasy is WAY cooler, most of those are over on my Instagram

[@gergelyszuts8510]

@@ashenwarriorprops thank your answer. :) I hope you make in the future the Berkasovo style helmet with jewelery and other accesories. But I will follow your creations 😉 PS.: sry for my bad english, and greetings from Europe. 🙂

[@GooiYingChyi]

Dude you need to redesign your Ashen Warrior logo. It has so much potential to look epic and professional. Just 2 cents.

[@m-aronnax1277]

Can you make a video going into more detail on the NCR Elite Ranger helmet build you did awhile ago?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

I need to I know. Unfortunately I have to do stuff that pays first then I’ll get around to it!

[@m-aronnax1277]

@@ashenwarriorprops Makes sense. Looking forward to future videos!

[@rubenmorales7250]

This is perfect! I just bought a roll of foam for a non cosplay related thing and someone gave me the idea to make the armor. Thought why not start with the helmet. I'm glad you made this cuz like everyone said, everyone's 3D printing them lol so thank you for making this! I did download your pdf template but I'm a noob at this kind of stuff, when i go to print the template it's printing it all in one sheet but i see you have it printed out in multiple sheets so how would i go about printing them all out separate?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Thanks so very much!! Here’s a link to my template reading and printing tutorial!

[@bu55c]

Hey Ashe, any idea when the armor templates will be out to go with the helmet?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Problably after DragonCon, I’m build 4 full suits right now and recording ads 3x the time Frame to any build, so while I’m in crunch mode i have to focus on getting it done. Doing templates also takes a lot of time and if I wanna keep templates free they get pushed to the side for my rare moments of free time. But they will be here eventually

[@bu55c]

@@ashenwarriorprops O.k. just curious. Been looking on your web site for a while now.

[@hime6670]

i have to say, i gave up in doing a helldiver cosplay because everyone used a 3d printer, thank you so much!

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Not here! I do print things but I like to know that my hands still work!

[@vilichavdarova6574]

The dome pattern needs registration marks though 🤔 I used the template and build the helmet last week with no instructions and somehow managed to get it to work :D

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Oh? I’ve never put registration marks on stuff except for very limited things. Never had a problem so far. But I’ll keep in mind for next build

[@SgtInvictus]

Just wondering how I can scale it to fit my head? What is the circumference of the original pattern?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

@@SgtInvictus should fit 22”-24” heads

[@Creature_Of_Steel1]

Is it possible to make it using these templates from paper or cardboard?

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Don’t see why not

[@tomasvanhecke2155]

Could there be a way to convert the project to PDF and be able to print it on a small printer? I ask you with all my heart!

It is in pdf use poster mode, check out my how to print tutorial

[@Er-gu1hp]

When are you going to make the ncr ranger veteran video

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Right now with how expensive materials are I have to wait until someone commissions that piece and then I can record the build. Since I give most templates away for free I don’t usually make money on build tutorials. So unfortunately I have to work on what pays first.

How big is the paper how thich is the foam how big is the foam

hey, new fallout tv show Has be booming do a T-60 power armor helmet

[@GooiYingChyi]

Holy, you don't even need to 3d print or any expensive equipment. Just some cheap recycled junk would do.

[@cooldudemcswagcooldudemcsw4697]

You look like you smell nice. Great video btw

[@shugghead8538]

Seems like alot of work when 3d printing is a thing. People saying its expensive to 3d print?? You can get a decent used printer for less than $200.

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Maybe I like the work lol

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Also printed props are weaker and most studios I work for don’t want a printed prop. Often times handmade is more rewarding and can look just as good if not better

[@KamiEntertainment]

Nothing against ypur craftingskill, your stuff looka awesome. But you skip so many steps and without bendmarks its hard to get the shape, plus some seem to be mis scaled, mostly the whole ''Bill'' stuff :/

[@ashenwarriorprops]

Yes, I stated my angles were bad in the bill shot, I’m used to having to make things super accurate and takes a lot of time, I often struggle to convey my methods, I’ve had no issue with scaling on my end, could potentially be a printer issue, appreciate the feedback. As for registration marks I’ve been doing this for so long that I rarely need them and often forget about them.

[@user-tu4jp4vr7d]

Building now, great template everything is amazing. However, this video is the most frustrating part. Take the time to show how to assemble and be precise.

[@ashenwarriorprops]

@@user-tu4jp4vr7d oh I agree. I took a long period of time away from videos and focused purely on professional works, so coming back and having to focus on the build and camera placement is a lot easier said than done. It’s a work in progress I hopefully improve with every video.
