@Dylans Cosplay so what is your opinion on Odin getting a Micheal’s sponsorship before you get a Meeklay’s sponsorship?

I was thinking about doing it as part of this build, but then Felicia got really excited and she wanted top make the knitted chainmail- which is accurate to the movie!

Bring forth the holy hand grenade

[@ProdByAngus]

Count to 5!

[@sheafrancis5554]

That’s the holy hand grenade of Antioch to you. Peasant

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

Now you should make King Arthur’s horse 😆 This was actually really cool though Odin, I liked how detail oriented you were like with noticing the slight dome and the nose bump, and the paint job on the helmet was perfect, you definitely nailed the texture and those slight highlights. I also love how you found a way to make a sweater look like chain mail, I’ll definitely have to remember that for the future. Fabric spray paint might have helped me with my costume, because I tried using alcohol based markers for shading and detail, and those don’t want to work as well on fabric as they do on paper. Thanks Odin

[@jameshamaker9321]

not Odin replying, i do however want to point out, the horse was a dude smacking coconut halves together. super easy build.

Another big sponsor, that is awesome man! I am so glad for your success! It was a good and fun build too!

i love this, i requested this project on another channel and never saw anything from it. i'm happy i watched this, the black knight, is my favorite monty python character.

My son is big into Cosplay and he sent this to me. This was one of our favorite movies to watch together when he was little. My wife made our costumes for a Halloween Costume contest at a bar in Denver a few years ago. She was Medusa and I was her Stone Roman Soldier victim. Surprise....surprise....WE WON!! This will definitely be my Halloween costume for next year.

[@DoctorZisIN]

Awesome build! I noticed a lot of people below have requests. I have no requests, since you come up with great ideas on your own! I look forward to what you do next!

[@williambriggs167]

Awesome! I was King Arthur from Holy Grail/Spamalot this Halloween!

[@San-mn2nk]

I have a little suggestion. Why not do Jotaro's hat from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? I think it'd be a cool prop

[@vintagegal7376]

Everything looks great , but that helmet looks awesome!

Dude!!! Finally, someone does a Monty Python cosplay!!! I need a t-shirt that says "tis but a scratch!!!" Would still love to see you make Princess Zelda's sword from Twilight Princess, though!!!🗡

[@baccusx13]

The use of Loctite® Super Glue Professional and Pearl Borders by Recollections to make the rivets seems to be such a timesaver for not just this Prop but for so much more. Thanks Odin!

[@chrisclemons467]

Loved the video man, and this is one of my favorite movies

[@hullandy23]

[@johnjogerst5919]

Gotta love a good backhanded compliment..."don't want to make it too bright, I mean, he's already the Black Knight". Well done. Made me laugh! 10:06

You need to show this to John Cleese, He was the Python who played the Black Knight.

@Abel Martinez Calderon Jr Graham Chapman played King Arthur, You're thinking of Sir Lancelot, But he also played Tim the enchanter as well. The Core Monty Python actors often played multiple roles in their films.

[@batmanstudios7127]

Had me convinced it was metal, not Eva foam. Amazing job.

[@bananenlimonade4541]

Omg next Halloween costume! But without the arms ofcourse

[@OdinMakes]

Of course! We talked about that, possibly having the sleeves attach with Velcro, and then they pull off with a red spandex clad arm under it... For this video simpler was better.

[@MrTheMighty]

Glad you decided to go to Camelot, even though 'tis a silly place!

[@michaelcoccojr2513]

Super nice job. I'm looking to make one of these before Halloween cause I always wait till last minute. Any pointers on the template?

[@johnfarstom8423]

Maybe you could make a T-51b power armor chest plate and shoulders from Fallout 3. I think it would be really cool because im making my first cosplay and it would be very cool to have some help from a really good crafter/cosplayer. Anyways, this craft was great! It looks just like it does in Monty Python.

You need one more piece Odin; a strip of black fabric from one of those shadow masks.
