Stealth...I've been building suits about 7-8 years, and even though this vid was designed for beginners, it still comes in handy for experienced builders. I know I learned a few things...every time I watch your videos. I constantly refer back to many of your builds while I'm making projects. You are truly a badass builder bud. Inspirational! Please keep the vids coming. Loved the whole vid!!

[@thenextbobross8632]

This is honestly the best pepakura tutorial. Its so in-depth!

[@Heroesworkshop]

I’m glad it can help you. It took a lot of work and time to make this in depth but it’s worth it to me if people can understand how I apply the Pepakura templates to foam to build cosplay :)

[@Headphones1775]

I started building the Helldivers helmet...I'm so glad you have this tutorial. Great detail and answers a lot of my questions!

After watching your video twice, at two different times, I feel I'm ready to take the leap into Pepakura foam Cosplay. It should make more templates available to me! Especially your Hero Workshop templates! Great job Stealth. I appreciate all of the info you packed into this video, seriously man!

[@Heroesworkshop]

Hi Gregory, I’m glad you checked this out! This is literally the same approach to everything I build. It’s always this way. I recommend trying out this Hero helmet build to gain the feel and experience. Once you build a few things, it’s really rewarding and you’ll be apply to these techniques to all your projects with ease.

[@therifteffect]

Hi love this video and i definitely going to give it a go. Probably a silly question but when sealing it do you do the inside of the helmet? Do u paint the inside? Thanks agin for this

[@Heroesworkshop]

This isn’t a silly question. You don’t need to seal the inside but there will be areas that might need some reinforcement. Instead of sealing the inside, glue some thinner foam on areas inside the helmet to strengthen those seams.

[@therifteffect]

[@aymantayab8663]

Thank you for the video . Can this sealing make it temperature and fire resistant

[@Heroesworkshop]

Sealing is to give the foam a surface to pain on. Otherwise, the paint will absorb into the foam and it’ll look flat. I have no clue what you’re referring to.

[@killashandrad]

Does the foam thickness matters when measuring ? What do you recommand for such an helmet generally? Do you use HD foam?? Thanks!! its an awesome video!

Amazing work Would you ever consider doing a gears of war inspired armor set ?

[@Heroesworkshop]

I would like to one day. That armor is insane.

[@musicased9591]

would sanding with an ultra-high grit sandpaper help smooth out the tiny paint bumps or would it remove the paint?

[@DoingDennis]

57:35 I couldn't achieve this during a small test build ended up using a belt sander with plenty of ventilation. My foam would compress and avoid the blade. Thoughts? 1:46:15 forgot to add mixer to the list of materials :P

[@Heroesworkshop]

The blade is either too dull or foam is too soft. Make sure you keep the blade sharp and use a more dense foam. I’ll add the mixer. Thanks for reminding me.

[@team_xbox3.036]

10:53 but there is the question. Is it possible to use normal a4 paper? Or do i really need cardstoxk paper?

[@Heroesworkshop]

Cardstock is the thickness of the paper. Not the height and width. You can use A4 but you will have to set it to A4 in the print and paper settings.

[@team_xbox3.036]

@Heroesworkshop ok thx for the Information

[@potatospeedwagon3994]

Is flex glue/seal a viable adhesive/seal?

Hi Stealth can you make the Batman cowl from the 2004 cartoon so I can learn how to make

[@colterdraper1061]

You should be able to print as pdf to save the scale. That way you can print at a later date.

[@EvilGenius.]

I absolutely love the video. It is very helpful thank you! I do have two questions! 1. Is the helmet still flex able? If so how do you stiffen it? 2. With it being fully enclosed, Is there a way to add small air holes into it so you won't sweat so much! Like around the ears, forehead, and the top of your head! I thought about using and making small suing needle holes hidden in the semis to at least get some air!

[@Heroesworkshop]

It’s foam so I wouldn’t strengthen it. You want it to be fitted and still be able to slide on and off easily. It’ll be tough if it’s rigid. So I don’t do that. You can make air holes some where If you want

[@EvilGenius.]

Hello I'm just starting the Batman arkham knight project just a question. Once I made all the foam armor for example torso and chest how do I keep it together should I stick it on a foam base? Or straight on a jumpsuit?

[@MrDraquo]

Stealth, after seeing the awesome job you did in this video I'm convinced you'd be THE guy to cosplay as DC Comics' The Guardian (Google image search the "New 52 version"). His helmet is remarkably similar to the helmet you created and you'd have a ball recreating his body armor and shield, considering how much you went into beast mode on the ODST armor. Great job, man. I'm inspired 🙂👍!!!

[@Heroesworkshop]

I remember first seeing Guardian in “Battle for metropolis”. When I bought the Superman the comic as a kid. He ended up suffering from the clone disease. I instantly thought he looked cool though.

[@MrDraquo]

@@Heroesworkshop Yeah, that was a classic storyline right there. Check out the revamped look of his original Jack Kirby design that DC gave him from the New 52, it was WAY more tactical in its appearance (and his shield was upsized to full-on riot police dimensions now that I think about it), and I'm telling you brother with your skills in both pepakura files and foam assembly you would be awesome as DC's Supercop. But only if The Heroes Workshop takes suggestions of course...🙏

[@Heroesworkshop]

Hehe, I have too many projects on my personal list I need to tend to. I need to get back to work on my dream costume, Robocop and finish it once and for all.

[@MrDraquo]

@@Heroesworkshop Robocop is clutch. And since you've got an airbrush you'll be able to really dial in that tealish/aquamarine tint to his armor. I look forward to seeing that one, for real. But you know, I still hold out hope that one day after Hollywood's supercop gets his day In the sun here in the Heroes Workshop, DC's supercop will be right behind him. That would be amazing. Continued blessings to you and your family, Stealth. You're doing a great job 😆👍!

Im new to the hobby but working with my hands like this is my forte, always was, so how long could a project like making the B01 armor take, excluding the helmet?

Depends how fast you pick up the concept of pepakura and foam. I suggest doing the helmet from the beginner tutorial. Alot of it is being able to trouble shoot with common sense.

[@wrath-2187]

@@Heroesworkshop i appreciate the quick answer. I to some extent understand that, most of how to manipulate the material i think i understand fairly well, what degrees you need for what bevels intimidate me, however. Cutting it out.

In my head im picturing it taking anywhere from 60-120 hours to make the whole set, from printing to painting, but i dont really have a concept of it since i havent tried it before

Say you have the file of the whole armor, can you somehow separate them (arms/ legs, helmet etc) so that you can scale them? As I don't know how else would I be able to scale it.

When I downloaded the unicorn gundam cosplay which I am making for Halloween, when I put it in pepakura, I got freaked out when I putted the full part of the head instead of part 1, part 2, etc. and shows me flaps when I putted it in. How do I fix the full version of the body parts because this has been happening with all the full parts of the body + weapons (sorry for my English, it’s a bit bad)

[@Heroesworkshop]

Are you a beginner at this? The Gundam unicorn was listed as an advanced pepakura file due to its complexity. You need to start with something more simpler before you tackle something like this. This project will probably take months to complete. It’s just the honest truth.

im newer to cosplay and pepakura, and I've got a halo jorge helmet template, but one of the pieces doesn't look possible to do in foam like the seller said when I bought the template. What are your suggestions?

[@Heroesworkshop]

I’m not sure where you got your file from but sometimes you have to be creative with foam and make parts work in some way. I created this whole Pepakura to foam building system. So it was never meant for foam building but I made it work. So you can’t really limit yourself to the template. It’s not building by numbers like the program is designed for with paper. I apologize if that’s not much of an answer but It really is about being creative and modifying when you need to.

I use the Pepakura Version 6 and I can't find the change scale setting under settings. Please help 😞

[@Heroesworkshop]

Are you sure you even have pepakura designer. It sounds like you have Pepakura Viewer.

is it possible to build an odst mask with half inch foam

[@Heroesworkshop]

That’s too thick. Get 1/4” or 8mm

@@Heroesworkshop ok thanks

Is there anything like pepakura on Mac?

[@Heroesworkshop]

It’s for PC only. You’ll have to run a virtual machine on your Mac and run Windows to use Pepakura on Mac. You’ll have to look up how to do that.
