Oh and happy early May the Force Day!

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Amazing work Here are a few tips on your way 1# get a heating gun and heat parts that are round like the top dome. Makes it faar easier 2# if you have the time and Interest, make a mold of the Helmet and then you can just make Resin casts of it in an hour and you got one helmet more ( not really a tip but a idea) 3# wear a respirator while working with barge and when sanding EVA

[@MakeForOthers]

Thanks for watching, glad you like it! With your tips (thanks for them): 1: We got a heat gun since making this, it's awesome! 2: Definitely want to play with molds/casts 3: Weather permitting, we open up all the windows and have the fan going full tilt when working with the barge. Otherwise we'll have masks on. Regardless, that point should have been made (same with the EVA). Thanks!

[@Hartigan0809]

Found a pepakura (papercraft) file and put fiberglass on the inside to harden. The missle was turned on a lathe by a friend and the rocket engines were 3d printed. Took a while, but definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!

[@loskiff]

Hi! Very nice job indeed! What is the thickness of the foam? Thank you!

[@MakeForOthers]

Thanks! The main shell is from exercise mats. About 1/2 an inch thick. The other stuff (if I remember correctly) is around 5mm (much thinner). Hope your build goes great!

[@Smeeeeegs]

Can I use the template you have for this helmet with cardboard or just foam?

[@MakeForOthers]

You can definitely use the template with cardboard. Only thing to keep in mind is the difference in material thickness. The foam I used was about a half inch thick, so if your cardboard is thinner you'll end up with more room on the inside of the helmet (not necessarily a bad thing). Make sense? Also, saw your icon is a loot llama, awesome! Did you see the episode where my son and I build a loot llama out of cardboard? Thanks for watching!

[@Smeeeeegs]

Make For Others oh lol!! I will check out the loot llama episode definitely!! Thanks for the info! I’ll end up making this boba helmet.. I don’t mind having some extra room inside the helmet because I want this mostly for display. Thanks again man!! I subscribed for sure

Hey again! So I plan on using these templates to make my own helmet. I finished printing them out and cutting them, but I was unsure of the size. What scaling did you use? I made sure the templates were scaled to 100%, and it's on regular printing paper. Did you have to scale it up for the adult size, or did you simply print it at the default 100% scale?

[@MakeForOthers]

100% scale has worked for me. Have fun!

Howdy! Your helmet looks perfect! I have a Boba Fett helmet myself it's a Rubies Deluxe and I Just wanted to ask what should I do/use to darken the visor? Do I use a protective screen as well? Also How do I make sure the visor doesn't fog up when I wear it?

[@MakeForOthers]

Thanks for watching! The visors I've worked with were tinted to begin with, but the video series I referenced (by Propmaster Robert Walker) used window tinting material. That could help. As for fogging up I'm not sure! It hasn't been a problem when we've worn it for short time periods in mild weather.
