Odin Makes: Tech's Helmet from Star Wars the Clone Wars
I make Tech's Helmet, he is a member of the Bad Batch, an elite clone strike force from the animated series Star Wars the Clone Wars.
Free pattern for you to make you own: bit.ly/OMTechCW
It is sized to print on A3 paper or US Tabloid. Use Acrobat's poster setting to auto print on smaller paper.
Tips are welcome- there is about 30 hours work into making the pattern usable. tinyurl.com/OM-Coffee Or ko-fi.com/odinmakes
This helmet was one of a three way tie from my Patreons, I have 2 more Clone Wars inspired helmets coming, the next one will be in a few weeks.

Awesome work!!!! My boy wanted to be tech. Your video and a few others were a huge help! Thanks man! Here's my attempt! kzhead.info/sun/f6auj8t5n6ppoXA/bejne.html
Having a similar issue too, the page is blocked.
this would make an awesome welding hood. got the visor, got the respirator, even safety goggles underneath for when the visor is up.
Absolutely! Need a fiberglassed version or some such o.o
Sweet dude! 😎
This is a fantastic idea
To answer the clone pilots from Revenge of the Sith also have helmets with exposed skin.
Thank you! I was thinking that this morning. Forgot about them when shooting, I was only thinking about the show.
Hi Odin, I worked on the Clone Wars TV series as a modeler. Just wanted to say, you really nailed the "Clone Wars" look, especially the "brushy" finish! We were constantly told to be aggressive with he brushstrokes in the texture maps (which was challenging, as usually, that is something we as digital artists try to hide when hand painting texures).
Can you make the second sister’s helmet from Jedi fallen order?
That sounds awesome
Man I love the Bad Batch and just seeing Tech’s helmet is wonderful. I can relate with Tech because I am also that kind of guy. Can’t wait to see more Clone Wars stuff.
You should make some of the Star Wars blasters, like the DL 15,16,17, or E-11s
I agree
*Y E S*
the unfinished version (when you realized the sides needed to be flush) looked like a classic mortal kombat mask/helmet. good job! (who knows, maybe thats an idea for the future)
Yeah I noticed that too, also before he put the respirator on the helmet it reminded me of a new style of shredder's helmet from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Yes Please! I love Mortal Kombat! 🤩 (Just not the movies. Sorry to those who do.😅)
ODIN WITH ROUND RIMM GLASSES IS ADORABLE
Thank you!
I love the shout out to William jakespeare, it's always nice to know that the prop making community it one big family.
You should either do the rest of the Bad Batch helmets or do the Doomslayer’s helmet
I really appreciate you showing your frustrations and errors on this build. The fact you persevere through mistakes and keep going is inspiring to me (and other's i hope). Builds don't always go the way you plan, but you don't let anything stop you from continuing on. I thoroughly enjoy all your builds. Thank you for all you do to teach and inspire prop makers out there!
4:40 looks like Sub-Zero's skate helmet
Wow when you were half way done, the helmet was actually lookin not far from the helmet from Shredder in TMNT Dope as always !
I know right now I want to make a shredder helmet again
Please make more star wars helmets... they just look great!! Like a scouttrooper helmet. that would be so awsome
Man that is awesome. Looks like you can use the pattern to make most of the bad batch.
Exactly what I want to make for my convention trip in July. Thanks for the tutorial, I will definitely follow it as much as I can. Not only is it a great character and interesting helmet. But I like that visibility should be much higher than in other shellheads.
That, my friend, is one of the coolest foam helmet builds I’ve ever seen. Could you build helmets for the rest of the bad batch sometime?
Awesome it looks so real
Fantastic work!
wow that looks sick good job!
you are the best!!! im amazed on how u nailied it to craft Tech´s Helmet! and im a huge fan of star wars and also a huge fan of your work, ill try to build mine with your tutorial an pattern, greetings from Guatemala and keep with your awesome tutorials!
Deku’s flick wind gloves would be a fun one. Denki Kaminari has a wrist thing that helps with his quirk, but the real challenge, Hawks wings... I’ve been thinking and trying to think of efficient ways of making them, that would take some time and dedication.
@Nick Fletcher. lmao, i mean, if you want it as real as possible go right ahead haha
I never thought of using aluminium band on a nose piece. that will be a game changer on my Captain America helmet!
I miss Clone Wars so much 😞
It looks really good!
Thank you!
Keep the great work coming
Great video Odin
I have just watched you make the Warp Scyth. (DIY Prop shop 2015. ) It's really interesting to see how your techniques and materials have evolved over the past 5 years.
I appreciate even tho a project is difficult u still get it done all at once
i'd rally like to see you make templar knitht mask
Amazing helmet
Fascinating videos. You should make an entire Star Trek Borg costume.
This was a really cool project. I would love to see you take on doing Leias Endor helmet. Maby even use a hard hat and some fabric instead of foam = )
So awesome!!! It looks so good! I love those goggles! I want a pair just to wear as my glasses! :)
Great work as always. Would love to see the element rocks from fifth element movie
Keep doing clone wars helmets, they’re great !!!
It was actually really awesome to see that even pros have to be creative and still run into problems with builds, because I know I have a lot of issues to figure out with my builds. It would be great if you had a video making Hellboy’s Right Hand, but with the opening mechanism you mentioned at the end of the video from years ago, because I have no clue if I can make it work like you could, but I really want to try it 😅
Hmmmm....
Great job
So dang awesome
Really good! I wish you would make crosshair's helmet too!
Omg Odin, this looks so cool! have you thought about making all the bad batch helmets?
Simplemente grandioso, me encantan tus videos y me gusta que cada vez más tienen subtitulos al español
You keep impressing me dude. The quality of your props is getting better and better. It's cool to see the progression of your skills with foam prop building. But just to set the record straight, Jango Fett and his clone son are not mandalorian. Jango stole the armor/made it himself.
That's actually a really accurate and amazingly built helmet ! Still can't understand how you are able to build those helmets !
Piece by piece....
Congrats on 500k subscribers
You should attempt the heavy clone helmet that Bacara wears
Now need the rest of BAD BATCH helmets please!!!
you should make a team fortress prop! Maybe the eyelander or scotsman's skullcutter since you make big props
Wow amazing as always. Maybe make a new lightsaber; like Ashoka Tano’s, or duku’s.
Odin I'm very often impressed by your props! I'm still wondering if you are looking to sell that nightmare sword
An Ironman mk 85 helmet seems like a cool idea.
Thats cool.
Yay for Jake gettin' shoutout by the Odin! :D
Great build. I remember why I watched you in the first place, it was your lightsaber build video :)
Good times! Same table!
@@OdinMakes indeed :)
Awesome!!!!
You should make a Jedi and Sith holocron build
You are amazing!!
So I've just recently found Odin and really been thinking about getting into this foam stuff. But one thing boggles my mind. Does the foam not instantly clog up your sandpaper? Seems like a belt sander would melt it and cause it to clog the paper. Kind of like when you sand bondo too fast (or too soon).
i hope you end up doing all the members of the bad batch eventually
I think this is the most trouble I've seen you have with a build, glad it's not just a beginner problem lol, looks great though!
Could you make the helmets for the other members of the bad batch? Crosshair’s looks pretty awesome
Hey Odin, just thought I'd rewatch this video, I'm planning on building this helmet but instead of foam I'm going make it out of cardboard. It'll be a challenge but i know i can do it. Cardboard is my favorite material to use when making helmets. I recently made a custom Mandalorian helmet based the patterns on Din Dijarin's Helmet only it has a spiky mohawk on the top. I like making helmets they are my favorite prop to build. This Helmet video is one of my favorites of yours. I can't wait to see what you've got in store next. :)
did you end up using the pattern Odin made for cardboard?? how did it come out? ive been thinking about doing something similar but wasn’t sure how the pattern would translate to the different material lol
@@kaitm2831 not yet but trust me odin’s patterns and builds never fail. Some patterns work well with cardboard it just depends on the material you use but like odin says there are lots of different ways you can go about it. Good luck Kait m.
Nice job mimicking the hand painted look of the textures on the helmet.
Thank you!
I'll be kinda sad if we don't get to see a Tano Trooper build. I love those 332nd Company helmets even though in the end they broke my soul
You know you've mentioned the Armor Forge program a few times and I would love to get into it but I've been having some trouble figuring out how to get started and what I can import and basically how I can use it to it's full potential, maybe a more in depth video on the program and as an example build maybe a simple helmet like a Super Sentai/ Power Rangers one
WOW ! Can you please make Crosshair's too ?
Before you matched the respirator, with his helmet unfinished and all grey, it kinda looked like Subzero.
I'm not familiar with this character, but the helmet came out great! And I don't know why, but for some reason I was reminded of Dark Helmet when you first tried it on.
He was in the first 4 episodes of the new season of Clone Wars. Part of a story line that was originally developed for season 6 back when the show was on Cartoon Network, but didn't get finished before cancellation. So the Bad Batch guys have been waiting for years to be on TV.
@@OdinMakes Oh, nice! Well, I remember that show being pretty great, so it deserves to be complete.
Be interesting to see you do some stuff from Halo. A Master Chief helmet perhaps for Halo Infinite? Darth Vader helmet would also be cool.
I still need some advice for making the Pyro's gas mask for a cosplay I'm doing
There is one other clone trooper helmet with a open face. Its the episode 3 clone pilot one of my favorite clone helmets actually.
Al’s com link from Quantum Leap!
Why are mod podge and Elmer's glue considered so different from other pva whit glues? Are there some specific abilities other brands don't do like borax slime or face mask?
I would really love to see you make anything from any of the predator movies
You should make taskmaster’s mask and hood and his sword, shield, and bow from the black widow movie
hey, I know it's been a while since you've done these, but could you make more "as seen in lego dimensions"? I'd really love to see how to build GLaDOS
You could do something for the new Predator game that came out from the whole suit with the mini computer to even a functioning cannon
Hey Odin! Think you can use the technique you used to make the face mask part of the helmet to make Mortal Kombat face masks? (Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Smoke, ect)
I was seeing them in that shape too...
@@OdinMakes I see great potential in those designs
NICE
can you use hot glue when making Eva foam projects odin if you don't have barge cement?
You should try and do a DeadSpace helmet or plasma cutter
Cool
@Odinmakes how about the sacred weapons from 'The Rising of the Shield Hero". You have made swords and shields before but never a bow or spear. One suggestion if you ever decide to make them, all of the weapons have a half or whole sphere jewel on them and I would use clear plastic ornaments for holiday trees. They come in version that already divide in half so you would only need three for the four weapons, as the shield and bow only have half spheres.
This is gonna be buried but her file type did you use for the helmet in armor Smith? Ex. Stl. Obj. Pdf.
Thorn from Destiny?
Hi! I folow all your videos, your works it's amazing!!, I like to make this helmet, but the links are blocked, Can you re upload the patterns? Thanks a lot
I don't really watch the Clone Wars but this is really cool
Hi Odin, can you make iron man new helmet because I really wanted to see how you make it and I'm pretty sure that there's other people also waiting for you to make that helmet.
I'd love to try and start foam crafting but i don't know where to buy the foam.
for another Star Wars project could you make a foam darth vader helmet? i think that'd be excellent!
4:41 If Sub-Zero was a supply teacher.
Please do Darth vader it’s my favorite character and I’ve always wanted you to make his helmet
Logan Belleque me too
Logan Ginos sweet?
I was wondering if you'd be interested in making props from Warehouse 13 in the future, like the Farnsworth, or any variation of the Tesla. I just finished binging it again recently. Hahaha
Totally should make a clone pilot helmet
Hey Odin!! I dare you to make a modern, realistic, most badass version of the classic bfg 9000 from doom 1993
WOAAAA COOL!!!
Please can you teach how make ebony and ivory ( the Dante gun´s from Devil May Cry)
How about the Mars EVA suit from The Martian?
Would you make a Star Wars Garindan (KUBAZ) helmet/ mask as seen in the first episode of The Mandalorian (the ferryman) and in the first Star Wars movie (Imperial snitch).
That guy is cool!
@@OdinMakes Thank you! I have always thought that he was a pretty cool character also.
