Click here to get your Template: www.cosplayapp...
In this apprenticeship I teach you how to make Black Panther's Helmet from the Big Box Office hit movie Black Panther! No need to have crazy art skills a large workshop or expensive materials to make this one. I've done the work and created a Pattern/Template that makes this build super easy with a guaranteed good looking result. And all you need to make it is some inexpensive EVA foam, Binder dividers, and some LED lights if you want to go all out! This helmet is perfect for rocking your Black Panther Cosplay to watch the movie for the 5th time, for Comic Con, Halloween, or just to hang out in! Enjoy!
The materials are easy to work with, takes minimal tools, and can be done in your apartment or a small space as you can see in the video :) You don't need a lathe or other large woodshop or metal working tools to build and it is stronger and more water resistant than paper, cardboard or other materials.
If you make this build, comment and tell me about it and please send me pictures, I would love to see them and hear about it!

[@ronlevi2270]

So cool

[@longlam6271]

This is awesome! Could you try doing Spider-Man mask in Homecoming or Infinity War?

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!! Iblove spider-man and I definitely plan on doing his costume eventually! :)

[@emersonflores9157]

Como puedo conseguir la planilla??

[@mastamind7100]

Cool mask! Suggestion: you have made a kylo lightsaber and the graflex , but now you should make a custom design!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks! :) I actually did make a custom designed one. I did for a video where we were going to do an live action mix of star wars and frozen. It was an Arendale themed curved lightsaber hilt and it was super cool! We never ended up making the video though:/

[@ishanmukherjee292]

If you don't mind can you tell what software did you use to make the template???

[@CosplayApprentice]

No probs, I use illustrator usually, but you can create them using programs linke gimp or gravit.io as well. :)

[@ishanmukherjee292]

Thank you very much. Thanks

[@CosplayApprentice]

Happy to help :)

[@ivanrenteria122]

Ya no esta el archivo de las plantillas

[@rcluff86]

Amazing work as always. Please keep the template up for a while. I have cons to go to and moving to do so my funds will be thin for a bit. After that though, I plan on taking a stab at this by Infinity War.

[@CosplayApprentice]

Will do my friend :)

[@bruninhu904]

The template link is no longer avaible ;/. Where can i have the template? This looks so awesome.

[@karam9053]

This is awesome I am going to try it tho your not supposed to add anything on the eyes keep them open

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!!!! :) I'm excited for you to try it, there is a link to the template in the description. Let me know of you have any questions as you build it! :) In the movie the eyes are both covered and exposed depending on the scene. So my eye pieces are magnetic so I can take them out easily or have them in :)

[@karam9053]

Cosplay Apprentice oh thanks I actually didn’t notice that in the movie

[@karam9053]

Cosplay Apprentice oh ya I forgot to ask is it okay if I improve it on my version then give you credit on my instagram?

[@CosplayApprentice]

You see the lenses particularly during the car chase scene :)

[@CosplayApprentice]

I would love a shout out and see how you change it. As long as you are not trying to sell my template as your own :)

[@anniek-ngahlem4857]

Make a spiderman homecoming tech suit

[@CosplayApprentice]

I love that suit!! That would be awesome!

[@anniek-ngahlem4857]

Watch my latest video. It supports your channel

[@JC-cn7uy]

Amazing

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thank you!! :)

[@Lucas20gamer]

Could you make a video teaching how to make the helmet of the new iron man mark 48 armor? From the movie Infinity War.

[@ronellhoward6436]

Are you going to do a template for Shuri's hand blasters?

[@CosplayApprentice]

That would be super cool! I love those things! Ill have to look into it :)

[@ronellhoward6436]

That would be great! I made a costume for Okoye for opening night and would like to work on one for Shuri for my niece. I love your work.

[@terryakivlogs8873]

The only problem I'm having with this is the nose cuts and the part just below the nose on how to make it set perfectly like you did since it's a straight line cut and not a 45° cut!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Did you already do the short undercut sections on the underside of the foam?. That might help get the right shape putting together the nose section. Otherwise, the registration marks are super important and valuable, you may need to push or str tch the foam a little sometimes to get the registration marks to line up but trust the marks and it will work out :)

[@terryakivlogs8873]

Yes I did but I'm referring to the part inder that where the mouth section is

[@CosplayApprentice]

@kenobi4k if you need to it may help to heat up the foam in that area and add some curve into it to help it to sit at the angle you need to glue it together

[@terryakivlogs8873]

@@CosplayApprentice thanks working on a second one now hopefully it turns out better also a bit nit picky but i noticed on your template in the video you have a "E" piece but on the template i got there is no "E" piece

[@CosplayApprentice]

Haha, ooops, I think I must have mis-labeled it when I was going through finalizing the template :) Thanks for the heads up :)

[@Angry3336]

How about a Wolverine cosplay? But a comic version instead of the movie version. Or something Batman related?

[@geekynerdgaming]

How thick was the foam you used for this?

[@CosplayApprentice]

6mm, 4mm, and 2mm :) I have links to all the foam and other materials in the description. :)

[@geekynerdgaming]

Cosplay Apprentice Much appreciated, thank you

[@CosplayApprentice]

No probs, happy to help! :)

[@zeyadsherif1323]

Can you make this for me please

[@logananderson4440]

are you gonna do a full glowing suit?

[@CosplayApprentice]

I plan on making a suit but I havent decided if I will make it glow or not :) That would be super Legit though! :)

[@logananderson4440]

yeah I've been thinking about it too but have yet to figure out the best way to get the glowing effect so I'm trying to find someone who's done it or gonna do it to seek knowledge lol

[@logananderson4440]

also I'm trying to figure out what to put underneath to replicate the metallic sheen (?) it has in the movie that they had done in man of steel

[@CosplayApprentice]

That would be awesome! Im gonna have to look up the metallic look because I don't remember that. :)

[@logananderson4440]

it's something they did underneath the suit for MOS which inspired them to do it for the black panther suit

[@jhongherrera2894]

Cómo puedo descargar las plantillas?

[@ImseetheArtist]

Finally

[@CosplayApprentice]

Hahaha, I know right! :)

[@sactobat23kennedy79]

Are you using 6mm WTF on this? I just started and the 6mm seems to be too stiff. Im having a hard time with the face.

[@CosplayApprentice]

I made this before we had WTF, so I used a different 6mm foam but it is not near as strong as WTF so you would want to use the Black 4mm WTF as a base for this. Do you have some 4mm?

[@CosplayApprentice]

If you don't have any 4mm, let me know and we can figure something out together to try and get you some :)

[@sactobat23kennedy79]

I do have 4mm. I got the WTF bundle off Amazon. I'll try that. Thanks!!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Because WTF holds it's shape really well, it will fight you more than other foams if you just try to stick the seams together like normal. But if you just heat up the foam after the glue on your seams has set up it will make the foam very malleable and you can stick the seams together and then when it cools it will hold that shape instead of trying to go back to its original shape. :). Hopefully that make sense, essentially, after you have put the glue on both sides of your seams then just heat up the foam to stick them together, it will make it easier :)

[@moviescenes2483]

where did you get the PDF and how did you made and what is name of the PDF please tell me

[@CosplayApprentice]

There is a link to the PDF in the description of this video and the video walks through exactly how I made the helmet :)

[@Thefireking481]

what type of EVA foam are using??????

[@CosplayApprentice]

I got it from tnt cosplay supply. It is really awesome foam, smooth on both sides :) It is mostly 6mm, a couple pieces of 4mm and a couple craft foam pieces at 2mm. Each piece on the template is labeled with which thickness it should be cut out on :) Hope that answered your question :)

[@Thefireking481]

and what's the size of the foam did you use?

[@CosplayApprentice]

I mentioned sizes in my previous response :) and they are all labeled on the template :)

Do Captain America’s Helmet!!!!

[@allinonedirection1949]

Can we use in cardboard

[@CosplayApprentice]

I think it would with cardboard just fine :)

[@allinonedirection1949]

Cosplay Apprentice because in india foam is not available but u make like marvel hot toys

[@allinonedirection1949]

Cosplay Apprentice are you really sure that it can be make with cardbord same like that template

[@CosplayApprentice]

Getting the details in the cardboard will be the trickiest part. The template will tell you where all the details should go on all the pieces but you will have to do the details in a different way than I did with the foam because I dont think cardboard reacts the same way to the heat gun as foam does. But as for the shape and all the template pieces and telling you where to put the details. I am confident that the template will work with cardboard. :)

[@allinonedirection1949]

Cosplay Apprentice can you provide templates free because I am from out of country india living in india and i am 13 years old i don't have money
