Instructions unclear, my friend put it on and suddenly summoned a huge ass knife and started attacking me.

[@SKSProps]

😅 well you're lucky two of them were chasing me around the shop!

[@Justrex01]

That looks seriously badass, Steve. Looking forward to the painting tutorial. One of the first "props" I ever made was his huge knife which I made out of a thick slab of pvc board. It lasted for a few months before it got knocked off the wall and destroyed. This was before I knew about foam crafting. Maybe now I can make the set and make them better and lighter and definitely more durable. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@SKSProps]

You’re welcome and as always thank you very much! 🙌🙌

[@CyanMadness]

I was just thinking of revisiting my cosplay I did of the movie version years ago, and then I saw you started working on this so I waited. I may have to do this version instead!!

[@SKSProps]

@@CyanMadness you can never have too many different horror costumes 🙌

[@the.Ivory.canvas]

Silent hill 2 is my favorite video game of all time and the remake is just as good! This is so cool and I can’t wait to make one!

[@SKSProps]

I was worried when they first announced it but the team did a great job on the remake!

[@1carus_vr]

I had made one of these a few years back, not the same design. i had made it out of dollar store poster board, worked really well

[@philabot]

One of the scariest games I have ever played!!! Awesome design!

[@SKSProps]

Agreed! Lights off sound up definitely an experience 👍

[@ludonymous526]

Great one. Also, the holes burned in to allow for the wielder of the helmet to see actually give the prop an even grungier, more dilapidated appearance.

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much! 👍

[@HyBound]

Super interested to see the painting process. Looks great!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! painting this one should be fun! 🙌

[@TheJofurr]

Someday, perhaps far into the future, I'll make my first cosplay suit using this Pyramid Head pattern and I'll make an articulated dress form for it so that it doubles as a life-size action figure when I'm not wearing it. These things I shall do. Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I've never had a five year plan before!

[@SKSProps]

@@TheJofurr I hope to make his softgoods and at least the spear if not his great knife as well 👍

[@TheJofurr]

@@SKSProps Great! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that.

[@blizatrex]

Looks nice and creepy. I like how the pumice medium gave the great textures.

[@SKSProps]

Yeah! This was my first time using this particular one and I couldn’t be happier with the results 👍

[@TheWightMonk]

Phenomenal! Can’t wait to see the next instalment..your paint job is going to make it live…this is definitely a build going to do…thank you for the tutorial and templates 🙏🏻😎😍

I've been wanting to make a new Pyramid Head Cosplay. I've cosplayed Pyramid Head in the past, I still have the blade and spear. This will have to be on my list to make very soon. Thanks for the template.

You’re welcome! Have fun with the project 👍

[@gentalrobots3988]

How have I never seen your channel??? I love this stuff!! You rock!!

[@SKSProps]

You’re here now that’s all that matters 👍

[@Diabolicalbydesign]

Well done. I'd have to modify the template a little to put an eva foam halo inside for the ability to turn your head with the helmet. Excellent build.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! that will be in part 2 along with the fleshy growth at the back of the helmet. I don't see very many add that to their buids

[@Diabolicalbydesign]

@SKSProps my man is on it! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. I was able to start my business because of Pyramid head, and it's lovely seeing this character get his flowers.

[@crowbarj0nes490]

5:10 the 90 degree angle is someone confusing to me. Wouldn’t that just be a straight edge? The other way would be completely sideways. Also you do amazing work, thank you for putting out such amazing templates.

[@SKSProps]

Yes its just a straight cut. I just point it out because the ends of the previous pieces were cut at 20 degree

[@DXDHUNTR]

How do you know what measurements to use for every piece being cut?

[@SKSProps]

The template is already scaled watch the how to print templates video

[@DXDHUNTR]

@@SKSProps Oh, I see. So ill be taping the papers together and it'll be already scaled once finished. got it. Also, how do you keep the helmet stable on your head? do you use any straps or does the construction already maintain balance when worn?

[@SKSProps]

@@DXDHUNTR fits fine rests on my shoulders but you could add upholstery foam in the top if necessary

[@johnmorton5889]

2:06 Just out of curiosity, is it better to glue heat-sealed or raw edges?

[@SKSProps]

@@johnmorton5889 heat sealing closes the pores and for contact cement is a better surface. For superglue I don’t heat seal the foam I leave it raw so it can soak in some

Very cool 😀

[@randomcommentor5474]

Love this! Any other recommendations to help the wearer be able to see easier? Maybe swap the front panel of foam for a different material?

You can do whatever you want to your build. At the end I show a phone or get an endoscopic camera

Hey, I'm kinda late to the party, but what is the size of the sheets of foam you used and what size would you recommend I get? I'm trying to build this, but I live outside the US and for some reason it's almost impossible to find 10mm foam sheets that don't cost an eye here where I live.

[@skyblue_studios2991]

Is it better to hand brush with acrylic or airbrush? I'm a bit conflicted on what to do some say acrylic some say airbrush I just can't find a straight answer I was all prepared for acrylic than my dad thought I should use airbrush which I have one but never used one before and I'm making clone trooper armour with a custom paint scheme and airbrushing something like that might take awhile even though it be smoother but I don't know if cracks as easily as rattle

[@SKSProps]

if you look at my videos I hand paint 99% of the time. I’m just not as big a fan of airbrushing unless I need that specific look. Hand paint at least for me is quicker and I can get more of a variety in my styles and textures
