now finally you post here - this is really a nice work | tutorial...i need to try from your template....thanks.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Amazing build Nick. Now I have to make one!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks Ted! I'd love to see that!

[@uguraydogan7877]

You are an artist and if I were Saruman I would definately hire you

[@Rusich20]

Yeah

[@punishedprops]

Fantastic video and build Nick! The texture you got with the cotton and neoprene is really fantastic.

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks guys! That's my new favorite technique. :)

[@WarGamerGirl]

Yeah, the creation of that texture is such a good technique. I'm going to have to try that!

[@frankcoraci3672]

Amazing! you inspired me to build an entire cosplay from your helmet build! Thank you for this 🙏💓

[@SKSProps]

Fantastic job Nick!!!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks Steve! I'm loving this HD Foam!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Beautiful job! Really cool techniques used!

[@ModulusProps]

Thank you!

[@MuffFlux]

It's rare to get such high quality content from a youtube channel from the get-go. You have done an amazing job!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks so much!

[@tomdereu]

Finaly...pure realism in foam smithing. I got a new favorite, looking forward for the next video.

[@CaptnDave69u]

When your props look better than the film.used props, you know you are good.👍

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

[@gardenscientist9542]

Wow that was too good. I’ve watched it three times now and still can’t get over the realism. You should 100% make more vids.

[@970diego]

I've never attempted anything like this, but I wanted to make one of these helmets so bad back when the films came out. I think I'll finally get the chance to attempt it!

[@Manlima]

Very clean work! It's nice to see more people uploading tutorials like this in KZbin! 😊

[@ModulusProps]

Thank you!

[@Deathbyfat]

your project is quite amazing and your video production is done very well, high quality for sure

[@ModulusProps]

Thank you so much!

[@PlanetAlexanderProjects]

Beautiful video, can't wait to see more! When I first saw your cotton batting technique I really enjoyed creating it with Mod Podge and cotton balls, and I can't wait to use it again.

[@ModulusProps]

It's my new favorite technique! :)

[@e2r0r]

Iam so glad you started that channel!

[@flukve3574]

Realism, very nice work.

[@dreadknot69]

Thank you so much for doing this and especially making the template free. I'll be making this for my Halloween costume.

[@LootGoblinPenny]

I love the contrast between your work and Punished Props. Your work feels more professional and clean, whereas Bill and Britt's give that "over at a friends for smithing" vibe.

[@ModulusProps]

Haha, thanks! Truth be told, I learned much of what I know about prop making from Bill and Britt. :)

[@subascosauce8288]

That was a Masterclass. Well done indeed!

[@atomic2955]

That is awesome man!! It just kept getting better and better. The end result is very authentic. The red lighting is aces.

[@michaelwills1926]

Well done lad. 👍🏼

[@DrZeddy-wo5fd]

Love the care you put into it

[@MrMassmahem]

Such a cool helmet! I’ve never seen that cotton batting technique before. It really gave it an amazing finish

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Love the video, and thank you for sharing the colors you used. I just finished building one myself out of PLA and found this very helpful.

[@ModulusProps]

Very cool! I'm glad the video was helpful 😄

[@MichaelBogaMusic]

Yeah you're on KZbin! Fantastic edit and build!

[@Jully5Jullyet]

Welcome to the KZbin props community! \o/ I am thrilled every time an awesome person like you decides to share your awesomeness with us! XDDDD

[@ModulusProps]

Thank you!! :D

[@Kinsukechi]

Nicely done, simple and also great.

[@wildkarde2406]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

[@csch1510]

Super cool paint job

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

[@SoHautRightNow]

Knocking it out of the park with a first video! If you're at DragonCon again this year, I totally want to kick your brain over the Creature Cast. You use it so well. Bravo, Nick!

[@SoHautRightNow]

*pick your brain. I don't plan to kick you. Promise...

[@ModulusProps]

Haha, thank you! Yep, I'll be at Dragon Con! Can't wait!

[@antonnyl573]

So glad you will be posting videos now, perfect build by the way💯💯💯

[@MrTeaboar]

Thank you fort the template! This thing was quite the challenge, since I don't have the neopreme (had some wood glue) and half of my paints were dry, the thick foam was hard and the slim was floppy :D. So I'll have to do it again soon. The outcome became quite excitnig, so I'm happy. 😊

[@ModulusProps]

That's great! You can definitely use other materials instead of neoprene. I've seen people use white glue, wood glue, roof sealer, Mod Podge, or even just thick acrylic paint. They all work!

[@MrTeaboar]

This technique is quite amazing to be honest. I'm planning to make a video for some texture stuff on cosplay an this will be in there for sure. :) @@ModulusProps

[@ScottBourke]

Awesome work mate. Great to see the small scale patterning in practise. Its something i have been considering for my mecha build.

[@maxinferrera2580]

Awesome work man!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

Outstanding work and some amazing tips. Can't wait to see your next video and learn more. Will definitely be checking out your website.

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

[@Justrex01]

That is seriously bad ass! New fan of your channel here. Keep building please!

[@gavdownes100]

Wow that came out nice. Realism definitely comes with imperfections. Dented metal, rust, abrasions, patchy paint

[@ModulusProps]

Absolutely! :)

[@CaptnChardonnay]

Excellent video! Brilliant piece as well!

[@mikegmcg]

Awesome video. Great production, nice explanation of each step, great prop. Can't wait for the next video.

Wow! I'd love to work more on Props on my channel, I mostly do 3D printing at the moment but this is so incredible!

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks!

[@dennisjohansen8490]

Man, I thought for sure that there would be more content to this channel. It seemed so refined and professional and the craftsmanship is fantastic. What happened?

[@ModulusProps]

More videos on the way!

[@dennisjohansen8490]

@@ModulusProps That is excellent news! We definitely need more content like this on KZbin.

[@iam3dprinted858]

Amazing work mate. I’ll definitely be taking some tips from this one for my own projects 👍🏻

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

[@propmadelarp]

is 2020, and i love this... whay not more ?

[@LeonidasSparta-Fun-History]

this looks AMAZING

Haha! Thanks! I've got several hundred videos to go before I can catch up with Bill. :)

[@jrbp33]

That looks amazing, this really makes me wanna try something like this❤

[@ModulusProps]

You should definitely try it!

[@matthewgresham7060]

The cotton texturing technique you used would be cool for a Leviathan axe

[@ModulusProps]

It definitely would!

[@theartofprilzor]

Amazing job! I really enjoyed this tutorial!!

[@cabfootbal72]

What an amazing video. Professional production quality. Really knowledgeable and VERY beginner friendly. Why does this channel only have 800 subs and a single video? This is the kind of video I would expect from a full time youtuber. Is there more like this? I visited your website but your last blog post was back from before this video by a mile...... How do I consume more of your content!?

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks for your comments! I only build props as a part-time hobby, my full-time job keeps me pretty busy. I have more video content on the way, though. In the meantime, you can always see my latest stuff on my Instagram and Facebook accounts. instagram.com/modulusprops/ facebook.com/modulusprops/

[@farscape3100]

a big thanks for the video and the plans im make the helmet out of sheet steel. simon

[@ModulusProps]

Whoah, awesome!

[@ancientmariner7473]

Incredible skills!

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

Wow , very impressive 👍🏻

[@matthewpresley2973]

Really great, why don't you put a white hand on it? you don't have to, just thought a white hand would make it look a little cooler.(although it almost can't get any cooler)the cotton was a GREAT idea, and the finish was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Great build bro, gotta give it to ya on this one, bravo!(I love the Uruk-hai, so thanks for this upload).

[@ModulusProps]

Thank you! I actually already added the white hand :) You can see it here: instagram.com/p/B_RJ6OODiIY/

[@iurivieira5490]

the helmet was very good and I would like to make one, but I would like to know if it has the A4 sheet version.

I only have the 11x17 inch version right now, but you can use the poster feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader to tile it for a smaller page size.

[@MorganPooley]

I made mine out of metal from your pattern a year ago:) so thanks

[@ModulusProps]

That's awesome!

[@mikeysrants4527]

Top work, looks fantastic. However, doesn’t the crest seem to be a bit too short? I thought they were a bit taller and sat a little bit farther forward

[@ModulusProps]

No, not on the 1/4 scale collectible version produced by Weta, the same company that designed the helmets for the film. My pattern matches that one very closely.

[@littlebigveteran503]

I love this! Giving it a go atm as my first ever! I can't find creature cast in the UK does anyone know of an alternative?

[@pocketmarrow]

Really incredible work! The cotton batting's such a clever idea and the final finish is incredibly convincing. Did you give it any final seal to protect the paint job? Or would that dull the effect?

[@ModulusProps]

The helmet is not sealed. I usually try to avoid a final sealer if I can, because it can take depth out of the paint job when using a mix of glossy and flat colors.

[@miguelcorreia1149]

Great prop!!! Will you do the rest of the armour?

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks! I'm not planning the rest of the armor right now, but you never know. :)

[@miguelcorreia1149]

@@ModulusProps The helmet is phenomenal!! You won my subscription!! Looking forward to the next project!!

[@crushcity3034]

Amazing. Cotton technique blew my mind. Any idea what the total cost of this project would be?

[@ModulusProps]

Good question. Using the same materials as I did, it would be about $75 total for a couple sheets of foam, a pint of neoprene, some cotton batting, and a few bottles of acrylic paint -- and you'd have a bunch of material left over for more projects. For a more economical way, I think you could keep it around $25 if you use low-cost foam floor mats, a bag of cotton balls, Mod Podge instead of neoprene, and some basic craft acrylics.

[@crushcity3034]

@@ModulusProps awesome thank you very much. I'd love to attempt both and see how different they would turn out.

[@LisztV]

Great work! But how rigid does it get? From the video, it looks rigid like thick plastic, not like foam (which is great)

[@ModulusProps]

Thanks! The coating makes the foam a bit stiffer, but it still has some flexibility

[@古道2024]

Waaaa, great work

[@TJsCraftShack]

Wow!!!
