Making the Rebel Pilot Helmet from STAR WARS | Foamsmithing

It's finally time for prop making! I've been wanting to do a prop like this for a while now, so I finally jumped in and did it. I'm really happy with this one. Thanks for watching!

Wow, you killed it. Well done

[@iGreenAlice]

Amazing! I am going to attempt to make my own, hope it looks half as good as yours!

I have a few questions about the paint. Namely what kind of paint did you use and does it stick well to the foam? About to try my hand at making a pilot helmet for a star wars themed party and was prob going to buy the foam sheets in the colors I wanted for it rather than paint but I need might to touch up some areas, especially if I use caulk on the seams. I’ll be using an old skateboarding helmet for the base and template.

Dude, nicely done! You did a great job with the weathering ;) This makes me want to do another prop project!

Just found your channel last week and have watched half of your videos already. You do really unique projects and have great content, especially for someone your age. Keep pumping out amazing original videos like this and you will have a huge following in no time! Can't wait to see what your next idea is!

[@drewhanfland340]

Wow! That’s great. Thank you!

Nice job man! I want to make one of these for snowboarding by modding a snowboard helmet. But I think I'll borrow a lot of your techniques here!

[@Kremmen2001]

Great tutorial. I love watching scratch built prop builds, especially seeing how you adapt and make alterations on the fly.

Good job! Thank you! You make it look so easy I'm trying to get my 8 year old son into foam smithing because he loves to build things and want to become a builder. So we found your video and watched together! You did a great job! I must say you have to like Star Wars thou! Lol Me and him are both fans!

Hello Drew Hanfland, just as ILM inspired you to carry out your project, your video has inspired me to make my rebel pilot helmet of the X-Wing ship from the movie Star Wars: A New Hope (1977). Greetings. #MayTheForceBeWithYou

That’s amazing! Best of luck.
