How to Make a Boba Fett Helmet (DIY)

[@arnjhon]

Your mando Calrissian refference, is reffering to archer(the tv-show) where Archer the main character disguises himself as a "Rando Calrisiano" on a mission in Argentina. Somewhere in season 6, I believe.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

THANK YOU!

[@nicholasleach2156]

The reference is from archer tv show when archer disguised his name with " Rando Calrisiano''

[@jakehuss899]

I was my own mandalorian for Halloween and I must say I looked epic

[@Blueberriesplease]

His name is Mando, you sir are ahead of time

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Wow, crazy. Thanks!

[@otdoud]

I love your cuts. "Scrap Eva..." Drops crapload of foam. I lost it lol.

[@lionblazelpsaj9997]

Mando Calrissian. Imma use that in my next fanfic xD

[@kerricaine]

somehow you always come out with great tutorials just as i start planning to work on something! first the pipboy, now this! :D

[@l23fireye]

DO AN NCR VETRAN RANGER HELMET!!

[@1011-h1c]

That looks sick.

[@noahwinters6501]

YAY MORE STAR WARS! Thanks Jake!

[@alexnos3222]

Oya! As part of the Mando Mercs I approve of this. Looks great for a foam build!

[@noahwinters6501]

+alex nos Is this build approvable for the Mando Mercs?

[@alexnos3222]

Unfortunately no. While it looks great and personally I love EVA foam builds, your helmet and armor have to be built with something sturdier I.E. Fiberglass or Resin. EVA is acceptable for small detail work but it shouldn't be easily identifiable. Here are the CRL's for all eras and a list of approved materials for armor building. It doesn't list scratchbuilds as acceptable but they are as long as they fit the requirements of your era. Some of our best builds are handbuilt from the ground up. A good approvable costume can be done for easily $1000 or less. Helmets are usually the most expensive thing at 100-300 for a good resin cast. If you want to ask any more questions feel free to message me at anytime. mandalorianmercs.org/get-involved/costume-requirements/

[@paper-cutprojects8840]

this tutorial is great! you crack me up! currently working on range-finder (best part)

[@dwimer362]

HA! That's awesome, I've been costuming with the Mandalorian Mercs group or years, so I was really surprised to see such a familiar helmet in my subscription box.

[@TheloggGamer]

At 1:58 you use some blue stuff. Is it eva foam or... ?

[@gabetv3321]

I have that same shirt! love it

[@root_Nep2ne]

Congrats on graduating!

[@ntnko]

Will you make a new Q and A video?

[@brushedaphid2698]

Five years later there’s actually a mandalorian character named mando

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

I am Nostradamus!

[@Czarina0705]

I am glad I came across this video. I am going make this helmet. What is the thickness of EVA foam you used here?

[@marcelo78074]

to that mask the portion of the lens you can put it polarized the window of the car is nothing more but a suggestion is very good

[@molusk4031]

You should do the jetpack. That would be pretty dagum neat.

[@hectornunez3299]

whats the link to the eva foam roll you used

[@cml-studios799]

Any chance of seeing the wrest of the armor pop up here? I am trying to make a mando for a fan film, but I'm too cheap to buy molds etc... for the gauntlets, chest plates, and other armor peices...I would love to see a cheaper DIY way to do it!

[@nighthathfallen]

where did you buy the eva foam I can't find any

[@bearmanprops]

can ı ask ı done a helmet wıth fome aswell can ı use wall fıller to clean the edges ?

[@TalexTheLich]

just a heads up jake, you could also make the visor out of clear binder dividers, there are plenty that are colored already, i made mine with a blue one and it looks great :>

[@constipanda7076]

very nice, your helmet are realistic and cool. :)

[@BarbusCraft]

What's best for eva foam, Hot glue or contact cement? I have both.

[@TheImmigrantX]

You are seriously awesome! Keep up the work!

[@BlackheartChimera13]

Hey how about more effect tutorials?

[@DisdainedHarmony]

Where can one find the EVA Foam roll in this video?

[@johnsilvers8904]

Awesome vid u should do a ncr veteran ranger helmet or a brother hood of steel palidin helmet

[@seanbenny5558]

Would it make a difference if I printed the template with border instead of borderless like yours???

[@Jgo36114]

Wow that's really cool! Do you take requests to make things for other people? I have a cosplay outfit that needs some expertise paper mache!

[@elijahproctor3726]

what type of paint is used for the visor ?

[@laurakewl]

Did you use filler for the whole helmet or just for the dome ?

[@madespy]

Can you work on an accurate Fallout 4 Vault suit? One with the shoulder ridges and all the weird tightness

[@snow9294]

Pretty cool build mate ! Pretty much a Jango Fett's helmet with that final paint haha. But yeah, pretty amazing !

[@MrCros1970]

thanks for the info, liked it

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

No problem 👍

[@savagefam1205]

Looks great

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Thanks!

[@ElWeroValdez13]

which is the thickness of the foam ? 6 mm ? 3 mm?

[@caedmonwalz6011]

You should make a laser musket

[@Bird.Claw15]

so how strong is this foam?

[@americanlibertarian8434]

What grit of sand paper?

[@jonnymccall9782]

Could you make the alien/alien isolation flamethrower

[@ryanhuffman5083]

you rock bro. i love your videos!!!

[@alecmcdougall1425]

can you do a clone tropper helmet

[@ianhubbard641]

So what exactly did you use for smoothening the dome? Im stuck at this part because idk what to use

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

+Ian Hubbard I used gasket filler but you should really use bondo. Use it outside though. lots of fumes and stuff.

[@DomepieceSON88]

Step one, throw out this weak ass template and find a better one. “The Prop Master” makes one much better

[@jackscott1097]

I've wanted to make the later rifle for a while but I've had trouble getting a dremel tool. Is there anything else I can use as a replacement

[@jackscott1097]

+William Jakespeare

[@jackscott1097]

NEVER MIND I GOT ONE ON BLACK FRIDAY

[@uknownacount3027]

what is bbe foam

[@BackyardBuildsBFX]

You do awesome work. Would you have a recommendation on how I could g about building Power Armor, from fallout? I was thinking follow the same path you do, cardboard and eva foam, or maybe use resin and fiberglass mat.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

+Johnathan Rush People have probably already done it so just google it until you find good reference photos and templates.

[@Favorites91411]

Did you make the template yourself?

[@declanng7465]

You live in Canada

[@Carter_Swan19]

Who else is watching this after the mandalorian trailer

[@Joshplv]

do you think its possible to do this with cardboard?

[@Joshplv]

I have allot of thick shipping cardboard

[@davidkrause9310]

+Josh LeSage (SIK3Ri) that is what people mostly make them out off for costumes. people use then use fiberglass resin and bondo to make it hard and smooth.

[@venaterstugots]

I made a helmet using poster board and card board instead of EVA foam, then covered it in bondo to keep it hard and sturdy. Took me most of the summer to do it, but the helmet is awesome.

[@zakkattakk1751]

what if we already have a Boba fett helmet? also, can you make a superstore or boltshot from halo? anything from halo?

[@victormontes8606]

Where can I get rub and buff metallic finish??

You know Jake now that I see this and its just a thought. You made 2 versions of the lightsaber however theres litterally like a variety of lightsabers from Darth Mauls to Count Doku, and not to mention like any Sith in general and the lazerwhip. Sooo yea more Star Wars weapons be cool to see

[@iggyvonmoon]

thats a really great helmet it seems complicated but awesome job. How long did it take and how much money did it take

[@tpakz9112]

It's Isaiah Strickland I made 4 of these helmets for max 12$ in less than 1 month.

[@jonnymccall9782]

Where's the cheapest place online to buy Eva foam

[@jonnymccall9782]

Thanks

[@BlackheartChimera13]

+Jonny McCall Lowes, Home Depot, I found the thin kind at Wal-Mart but you got to head to the fitness section

[@jonnymccall9782]

Ok but I'm in UK so I think I'll get it on Amazon

[@jonnymccall9782]

Ok thanks

[@BlackheartChimera13]

+Jonny McCall If your going to order on Amazon be sure the dimensions are to your preference there are small to large sizes of EVA foam. I bought some once that was not what I thought it be in size but it did the job because I was using it to make a gauntlet. If your in U.K. I'd also recommend PVA as a sealant

[@lancevance7646]

are EVA and rubber foam the same thing?

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

no. Sometimes you can find rubber mats that are the same shape but they are a completely different material.

[@lancevance7646]

William Jakespeare ok thanks a lot.

[@EridanStarWarsShortFilms]

Hi! Just one thing: what is the name of the plate you use for the helmet? I didn't get it ^^' And nice video !! :)

nothing. there's a link in the video description.

[@Spamton-u2d]

@@WilliamJakespeareProps Not anymore. There is only Mando's helmet not Boba's.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Oh, I see what's going on. It's kind of an all purpose template. I think the only difference between Boba and Mando's is the center ridge and the range finder. The pattern works for both, just lose the center ridge and keep the range finder if you're doing Boba.

[@darthvader1673]

do a phase 1 clone helmet

Cool video, could you make some more ww2 guns , if you are could you make the ,STG 44 sub machine gun or the panzerfaust German anti tank gun thx !!

make the first blade from supernatural

[@CodedLockFilms]

One putty I like to use for gap filling is JB KwikWood epoxy. It's actually really safe to handle with bare hands, pretty easy to work with as long as you mix the putty in very small amounts, and it cures into a solid that can be sanded and painted like wood. I've been able to get a lot of smooth, seamless results, and it's actually pretty durable and not too heavy. The only downside is that the tubes can be a little expensive for the amount that you get, so it's not practical for anything particularly large-scale, but I'd guess that a full tube, which costs around 3-5 dollars, could have easily coated the dome of that helmet.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

+CodedLockFilms Thanks for the tip! What's the dry time?

[@CodedLockFilms]

+William Jakespeare Pretty quick, actually. You can generally work with the putty for about 10-20 minutes after mixing it, and it can reach a full cure in as little as an hour, depending on the amount you've used and the thickness of the application. I generally like to give it at least a few hours just to be on the safe side, because if you try to sand it too soon, it can wind up with a sort of weird, almost scaly texture. It's like any other epoxy: The more time you give it to cure, the better. But like I said, generally cures in about an hour or two.

[@BlackheartChimera13]

+CodedLockFilms An alternative I found out from Evil Ted is DAP quick seal. Its safe to work with and dries relatively quickly.
