You should make a Sgt. Hound helmet from the clone wars.

Why does Bondo sound like the name of like a Star Wars bounty Hunter?

Hondo was a pirate in the clone wars that's close right

[@user-ho8ot6mu2k]

I recently 3D printed Din Jarin’s helmet and I have a small printer so I had about 40 pieces, but because of that, if the print fails it isn’t really a big deal. The downside tho is that the gaps can be big and not align perfectly, but it turned out fine and it wasn’t too difficult. Hopefully I can get a larger printer soon.

[@STACKZOFICIAL]

Amazing

[@wolfe3298]

This is definitely one of your best helmet builds yet. Rex's helmet is so interesting and so was the process of making it.

[@origamimouse91]

Rex is one of my favourite clones

[@boejiden6938]

Imagine making a helmet this detailed for battle but you get killed first.

[@TomYourmombadil]

One of the components that Rex welded onto his helmet must have been from a spare set of Plot Armor he had lying around

Man, that looks great! I love the jaig eyes and rangefinder! Edit: I think the tally marks are how many tactical droids or seperatist leader kills.

[@steveheathen212]

I’ve always been under the impression that they were a count of how many times the armor saved his life

Majestic helmet, nothing screams Clone Wars any more than that. Unless of course a full set of Rex armor.

dude, this helmet looks gnarly, I want to make one and give it to my friend rex who I am moving away from and I will miss him, huge thank you for the idea and tutorial!

[@vaultfox]

I really like how the blue spots came out on this with the acrylics! I'm working on an Ursa Wren helmet commission and was struggling with how to get that brushed look and ... can't believe I didn't think of actually just using a brush and paint LOL

[@IzzcanV]

you have outdone yourself once again my friend! Congratulations on your rapidly increasing number of subscribers and thank you for this content and perfect paint job!

[@thelittleorangefriend393]

I might use a 3D pen to make weld spots on it

[@bongofett6992]

Yes

[@othicx]

I love that you used Bloken by Maddeinc such a cool song. Not to mention how cool your prints are. I'm hoping to get a couple soon

[@gabrielflo5932]

I really like the yellow on the helmet. It was a really good touch on both your, and the animators part. Welds actually make the metal yellow during a weld.

[@CloneShockTrooper]

hey.. suggest you use an inky brown wash paint for the welding details.. ps I myself did a realistic Captain Rext Phase II and boy its so awsome too.

[@howitzer4041]

You can see the General Grievous bust in the background. That video is from 3 months ago. It really puts into perspective how long these videos really take. Keep up the good work!

[@benwallis2047]

Just wow. It looks so soo good. Great job man!

[@KristianB07]

What a cool helmet. I was debating if I should make this one...

[@riuken1234]

Thanks for the video, I think a 3d pen can be use to create the weld effect.

[@BlatantlySwedishPGN]

That looks amazing! Can't wait to see how you did the paint job!

[@MigMonkey]

Love it, I'm staring at mine and as much as I love the paint job I did, seeing your welds not follow that molded line but being back further looks much closer to the real thing. But no way I can redo my welds now.. lol Also what I heard the tally marks were on his helmet and his forearms is the number of clankers he took out in his first battle.

[@jeremyromand]

Great video! Great helmet!! I do agree with another comment, giving it one more weathering job would really finish it off. Looks awesome man!!

[@pilots1015]

What a amazing helmet.

[@bongofett6992]

Should I make it?

[@AngelHernandez-un9yh]

I used his files and the print came out great!

[@EndyTheGamer19]

I have been waiting for this video forever now it has come.

[@garrettcarlson7844]

Sweet helmet and tutorial, only minor critique is the 'troth' area below the tally marks that wraps around the helmet should be grey.

[@alexairsoft1st651]

You should do a phase 2 501st jet pack trooper

[@paper-cutprojects8840]

Looks gorgeous! Love the paint job!

[@alexpotter7116]

It would be cool if you also did one that makes it more accurate to the films, there are a few figures of rex that have that helmet, it looks a bit more aggressive in my opinion. Great video!

[@talenoone7744]

Imma say this right here right now Boba Fett he has always been one of my favorite characters and seeing his helmet being made would be quite cool. His helmet just has so many colors and textures it would really be a good project

[@bobasbounty3428]

You should make the whole suit too

[@lexworthington]

You should do the same thing but phase one

[@JoshuaKnight]

I just finished printing the "realistic" Rex helmet last night. Looking forward to stitching it together and painting it.

[@Fertty14]

Was trying to find this everywhere a few days ago and was super bummed you didnt have one up on your channel yet. Awesome timing and pretty sick helmet!

I really want to get into 3D printing. Any recommendations or videos on what programs to use for the 3D models and printing?

[@lionlambleather6306]

Just and idea, use epoxy putty to make actual raised welded beading on the helmet for detail would be kind cool. Looks great as it is tho

[@MJam1308]

I have some critiques 1. The T visor has a curve to it and in the show it doesn’t 2. The blue is too light it needs to be closer to indigo or dark brilliant blue

[@erickerickson1332]

The helmet looks dope! is there a reason why you didnt model in the helmet weld makrs?

Hi there, big baby ! Would you recommend getting myself a palm sander ? I've been sanding by hand for a while now, but was afraid that a sander would chew too much in the print. Cool helmet as always btw!

Hi I think about buying an 3D Printer for a low price... would you recommend the SUNLU 3D Printer S8 for printing a Clone helmet?

Will you ever make a clone trooper accessories pack for animated/realistic clone troopers like NerdForgeDesigns?

[@balakef4443]

Just saying you should weather the helmet a bit more cuz right now it looks like it’s factory new but it’s just my personal preference, if you think it looks good then keep it, good job man looks great

[@jklop03]

Did you have to resize the file to fit your head or is the file already big enough. I have a big head and I want to make this.

[@ianmgonzalezresto8418]

Thank you galactic armory

[@michaelmurphy7974]

That looks amazing

[@lunararmy1624]

id say a good guess would be each tally represents a time rex has taken an actual life wheter it be a normal combatent, general, or otherwise. he fights too many droids for it to be that and takesvout too many specialized droids for it either but very rarelely does rex ever end up killing another living being so it might make sense for him to want to have a reminder for each time hes had to do so
