[@afg122602]

never in my life would i have imagined enjoying a show, staring john cena as a character ive never heard, of as much as i do. and i guess thats why i like james gunn so much. great build odin! even if its not chrome.👍

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you! Yeah the show is great! I am excited for this week's

[@ghost141aj5]

I didn’t even realize that I never heard of peacemaker until suicide squad came out kind of ironic for John Cena

[@gzuz4148]

I would love a how to on vigilante's mask and Peacemaker's desert eagle

[@josephmad3255]

Dude I absolutely love peacemaker I’m actually really happy that you made this helmet I don’t know if you watch the show or not but it’s pretty funny I recommend it to you he got some good rock ‘n’ roll and some awesome moments

[@OdinMakes]

I love the show!

[@RBelmont007]

There's never a bad time to rock.

[@redmaverickzero7]

I posted in the Discord requesting this prop, and I'm so happy and honored you made my request! I think you did an outstanding job! Thanks Odin!

lol at the end he had me when he was explaining everything with the mask on lol dope replica

[@DragonGateDesign]

YAY, build turned out awesome, elector forming or that mirror paint from the guy that made black 3.0 may work to make a super chrome. I think this shows that a later day for video release is possible to maybe help releave some life stress and give more time at home with the family

[@joshhalkay]

Please make Black Krrsatan’s blaster from the book of Boba Fett!

[@marcifrazier355]

I've seen people get pretty good results from using mirror paint when they want a chrome finish on foam. A cool build would be Janai's Sunforge sword from the Netflix animation The Dragon Prince

[@jetpackproductions5656]

I just love and admire your enthusiasm soo much.

[@followedsphere5921]

I like that you show you mistakes and how to fix them it helped me allot when I first started

[@v_zach]

Hey Odin, It'd be fun to see Excalibur from Disneyland, with or without the anvil.

[@shannfranics8931]

what iv started doing is stocking up on mirror faux leather it comes in alot of colour gun metal and chrome amongst them i cut out the foam patterns and glue the pieces and assemble, the pleather restricts some bendings that foam alone would have no issue with but with time you learn to structure the template to accommodate that and adding dirt, damage is also a great concealer ebay if interested

[@stuchly1]

The time lapse at the start was fun!

[@chickenxcouncil]

I would airbrush mirror paint from culture hustle. Two coats should get that chrome look

[@s1eepin_senpai]

Cant wait to make my own peacemaker helmet

[@csgotrollling4]

thanks odin! This would go perfect for my cosplay

[@allanadams5214]

And there you go doing what you do! AWESOME work Sir! Taking a lot of notes here for the near future 👍 Ace😎

[@samhaines8228]

Love your work, and your attitude as well. Would love to see you tackle the old school Battlestar Gallactica Cylon !

[@goatelope7539]

So cool!! Great work

[@Omsmitten]

Yes! I’ve waited for this video since before Halloween 2021.

[@Telikott]

I love peacemaker ever since the movie and show came out, love the helmet.

[@opuscrap4322]

I was hoping you would make this. Thanks Odin :)

[@mojoe84]

you should check out spaz stix mirror chrome this seems to work really well. Awesome build good show.

[@williamblankenship8209]

I love that Odin has mastered his craft so much it’s almost every other video he can just pull out a pattern he has to make it perfectly. Like he has so many things to pull from and has done such a great job refining them and making this amazing pieces of art. I adore your channel and have loved it for years and it always inspires me!

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you William!

[@Abraleo]

if you want a real chrome, try molotow chrome refill, try using that through an airbrush, it also needs to be applied over gloss black undercoat :)

[@worstfriend9456]

Very cool

[@drzoidberg1971]

Oh my god ! It's f#@kin awesome!!! Hilarious helmet for sure! I been watching peacemaker. It's fun !

[@abresanslefleur]

Can we not ignore the fact that Odin sounds very much like John. Or is it just me? Anyways, dope video because PeaceMaker rocks!!

[@comic-conner]

Dude this is awesome 👍🏻

[@phoenixstudios_offical]

So I don’t know if you’ll see this Odin but you probably have heard of or seen this product and it’s a reflective paint which is often called liquid mirror paint and you can use it in a air brush after the priming stage of the helmet and not only will it avoid cracking for a longer time but it will give the helmet a nice metal finish after combining the paint with a steel coloured paint at a 3:1 ratio and if you want a specific colour add in the colour of your choice at a 3:1:1 ratio

[@beckymurphy4714]

DecoArt has a new cosplay paint line that's supposed to be flexible; they have an armor kit but they don't have chrome in it. But maybe a mix of the silver and a bit of black could work? I also just learned about Swellegant paints, which are actually very fine particles of metal suspended in a clear medium for painting; they are also flexible.

[@ThatKiwiDudeTV]

That ados contact cement can be a real annoyance to work with. This came out looking 👍 👌

[@schultzdivision6749]

Odin working like that at 11:32 is fogged up 🤣 good job on the helmet really like the outcome ‘o master of the foam

[@OdinMakes]

I fogging hate safety glasses and masks!

[@86LukeM]

Mylar might be an option. That’s what Adam savage said, they used on the Naboo star ship in Star Wars episode one. It’ll be a pain in the ass from what it sounded like.

[@Error404Gamer]

I've always wanted to see Odin make the flintlock pistols from Wanted. Loved that movie when I was a kid, though I probably shouldn't've watched it when I was younger 😅

[@scottbeller5301]

Have you considered the Graphite powder technique used for some Madalorian costume pieces? It gives a super reflective shiny look the more you work it so I think it would be a better chrome look then the silver paint.

[@MrUnicorn44]

See ... now this level of dexterity and finesse is why I only stick to making hand props and foam replicas (for on-set work: knives, hammers, axes, and the like). That, and too many years of using my hands as tools of my current 9-to-5 job (parcel processing for our national mail carrier): loss of sensitivity - and scarring - on my fingertips and my hands in general. Watching me trying to use my touch to unlock my smart phone is a comedy in itself!

[@allmight885]

Ive been waiting on this one for a while 👍

[@mrsfgogo09]

That turned out really good love it and for the silver for Chrome why not rub and buff

[@williamwallace9427]

Always entertaining!

[@andregoldstein9686]

Interestingly enough the crest can go from side to side or front to back for different ranks I believe

[@ChaseHukill]

Nice

[@crann777]

If you have a smooth surface, you should be able to airbrush the entire thing with Molotow Liquid Chrome for a shinier surface. It's alcohol-based so it would be flexible, but you'd need to seal it underneath a protective gloss layer or else it'll rub off.

[@kealleymayhew19]

Maybe the Mirror paint by Culture Hustle could work for the chrome

[@MannfredP1980]

Perhaps the Molotow Liquid Chrome refill through the airbrush.

[@scottcharleston6152]

Such an underrated channel

[@andywilson4081]

A bloodsport helmet would be SICKKKKK

[@kavakahn9387]

y'know, the way Peacemaker's helmet is shaped, it looks like you can make a cast of either side of the helmet, press it into shape with sheet metal, and clip off any scraps (in Peacemaker, you can even see a manual press in the background and casts of the helmets lying around behind the finished models on the shelves)

[@mbmstudios9768]

Gotta try out some spaztik airbrush chrome! Super cheap and really shiny! And flexible🤪

[@mbmstudios9768]

With auqa gloss!

[@cyberbolt4122]

"It's not a toilet bowl, it's a beacon of freedom!"

[@michaeldiaz6570]

Wonder if you cut the helmet in half ear to ear and then vacuum formed each side and glued them back together and then used chrome paint or markers to paint it should reduce the paint cracking.

[@dragnridr05]

Take some 3d printing resin, thin it out to spray through an airbrush, then airbrush on the project. Then immediately cure with uv. Repeat till the project is covered. It smooths out great and adds a stiff layer so paint doesn't crack.

[@OdinMakes]

So, you method for flexibility is to eliminate it? This will would work. as would spraying fiberglass epoxy resin.

[@dragnridr05]

@@OdinMakes Not entirely eliminating flexibility. But also cheaper than epoxy fiberglass resin, and easier. Even UV resin has some flexibility and makes painting chrome that much easier. With a thin layer of UV 3d printing resin cured over foam, you can have the stiffness needed for paint, but the same flexibility in case someone bumps into it.

[@HMonnier]

I would love to see you do the phaser rifle that Captain Kirk had in Where No Man Has Gone Before.

[@samanthadean1083]

Awesome job Oden!!! I’d love to see you make Princess Zelda’s sword from Twilight Princess!!! Please? 🙏🏻🥺

[@Nasuto1702]

I would love for you to make a Daredevil cowel Or a Green Goblin mask

[@JYang0602]

Would’ve been interesting to see that the top of the helmet was interchangeable with different tops like they were the different helmets we see in the show

[@AtaRaShiki]

Nice! Viktor the game Leagend of leagend.

[@dr.iron_bat_prime2.0]

I like how it turned out, can you also make Peacemakers gun and maybe his x-ray helmet please?

[@adrianbrooks686]

Hey Odin great build as always. Have you changed the day you do videos? As the last two have not appeared on my you tube until late Sunday morning here in England. Keep up the great work.

[@greg4055g]

You could make the Plasma Cutter from Dead Space!

[@Oculas2003]

What about those chrome ink pens ive seen advertised a lot lately? From what ive seen people have used those to get a mirror shine on things

[@johnmoore2344]

If its possible, You and Felicia could make the 1960's Batman cowl?

[@KRayxKodessA]

There's ALWAYS time to rock.

[@OdinMakes]

Total Mandela effect. The only other Suicide Squad video I have uploaded is the Starro mask. However- you may have seen someone else make this helmet before!

Hi odin! Been a long time fan and it's nice to be early to one of your videos

Hello Sam Creates!

[@Jay_T62]

Since i know how much you love helmets, may i suggest having a look at the foretellers' masks from Kingdom Hearts? 👀

[@JLGregory]

Could you try making cad banes breathing apparatus?

[@murphsmodels8853]

I've been wanting to do an old school Cylon costume for years as well. And the only thing holding me back, other than lack of time and skills, is how to get the high chrome polish. Maybe if you do a gold commander version, you can use gold leaf. I did find good templates for a full Cylon costume, including sword and blaster a few years ago.

[@OdinMakes]

Those templates would be neat to see! If I do one, it will be the silver version, I really like the silver.

[@murphsmodels8853]

@@OdinMakes I can't find the site I found them on anymore, but I do have them saved to a Google Drive folder. To be fair, the plans are designed to be made from metallicized card stock, not foam.

[@OdinMakes]

@@murphsmodels8853 interesting!

[@padoco73]

Just going to piggyback on this conversation... I'm currently working on a model of the original Cylon for 3D printing. Helmet, chest plates, pauldrons, gauntlets, & accessories. You know, everything. None of the models or patterns I found online were up to my standards. I would love nothing better than to collaborate if you're interested.

[@murphsmodels8853]

@@padoco73 if you're talking to Odin, I seriously hope he takes you up on the offer. I haven't pulled the trigger on getting into 3D printing yet. I live in the titular roach infested slumlord type apartment building, and have two cats, so I don't want to spend large amounts of money on something that'll probably be dead within a month.

[@susandolan9543]

Have you ever thought of doing a old style (William Hartnell era) Cyberman helmet or Tom Baker era Cyberman helmet?

[@OdinMakes]

I have thought about it. Yes! I like the Baker/Davidson era Cybermen. Started one once, in the 90s

[@rscasados]

Odin, What if you used Molotow Liquid Chrome and air brushed it on? I don't think it would give you a perfect chrome but I think it would get you a lot more closer to a more of a chrome look!

[@RealAndySkibba]

I think Adam Savage has done this before for chrome parts.

[@subascosauce8288]

You can put it in an air brush, it looks fantastic but the problem is sealing it, it’s the top coat that tends to dull the finish.

[@CONNORYAPP4]

Try and build the ultron what if helmet

[@mooneyes2k478]

Actually, speaking of crests on helmets, there's some evidence that Roman legion centurions(commanding officers) had their crests transversely, and the common legionnaires had theirs lengthwise.

[@OdinMakes]

Oh really? I know there are some that go ear to ear, it just seems rare

[@mooneyes2k478]

The thing that comes to mind is, 3D printing. Which, admittedly, isn't foam. But, it is, 1, solid and so should take a hard-coat without cracking, and 2, is lightweight, if likely heavier than the foam in any sufficient thickness.

[@OdinMakes]

3D printing is the right way to go with a high chrome effect like this. Even if you have to cast it and pull a fiberglass version from it.

[@TacoTroubles]

would graphite powder works for a more chrome look? i've had success with 3d prints, and cardboard models. plus it's not spray paint

[@OdinMakes]

I don't think it would be as bright colored, more like Mandos helmet

[@robertgripton4499]

I hated the peacemaker in suicide squad but the show fixed that for me. As always when are you doing the guyver units in there storage case idea. Loving the build as all ways. Stay safe all.

Rustoleum has one called mirror effect and Walmart sells one called Looking Glass by Krylon according to Google.

[@OdinMakes]

Foam is soft, nearly all the chrome products require a hard coat gloss cover to work. The problem is painting something soft, and keeping it flexible. Additionally, most super high gloss awesome spray can chrome will never cure over Plasti Dip...
