QOTD ⚡What props from Star Wars would you like me to make next? Next video : How to make the Millennium Falcon from your cardboard boxes ➡️ kzhead.info/sun/lMyuobafbHueZmw/bejne.html
super star destroyer
Would be great to make it indeed
Holy crap!!! your tutorials are truily amazing and you deserve FAR more subscribers than you have now!
@@jmaster3876 Oh that's nice thank you Jmaster387!!
Super Star Destroyer.
It's weird that this video is 2 years old yet feels like it was posted like a week ago. It's still an amazing video and prop.
Watching the video again and I was wondering, if you haven't already done it yet, could you make the Executor, Vader's (second, after the Devastator from A New Hope) flagship from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi? Also a fun fact about the Executor: Did you know that the Executor originally wasn't for Vader? It was originally going to be for Grand General Cassio Tagge, as a replacement after the destruction of the Annihilator, but near its completion, a rogue Imperial named Cylo, attempted to take over the dreadnought, and attempted to assassinate the Emperor. Cylo was killed by Vader, and as a reward, Palpatine gave Vader the Executor and her fleet, Death Squadron. Vader, having more authority than Tagge, killed the Grand General.
never new plain cardboard boxes could become so awesome and detailed
That's a nice compliment!
Fantastic work, its only a matter off time before you blow up an become a huge youtuber my friend
Thank you x THANOS! I hope you're right! :)
hearing this from thanos, i fear you are going to literally blow up... F's in advance
@@darthmemeious9526 Haha thank you very much Darth Memeious!
It's only a matter of time before his DEATH STAR blows up..
Absolutely blown away by this one. Such an incredible model in the end. All of those hand drawn details! Amazing.
That's nice thank you Chris! I do appreciate it.
Your templates are so easy to use, while many others make them so unclear! Thank you so much for providing such quality ones!!
Thank you very much John! I truly appreciate it as I put a lot of efforts into them!
Where can you download the templates from pls?
You're a brilliant 3d impressionist. Absolutely LOVE it...!!!
That's a nice compliment! Thank you Norm G!!
The amount of effort that gets put into these videos are amazing. With each video you produce, the quality of props you make seem to increase drastically. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! That's a nice compliment Mind Grenade Studios. I try to do my best!
I am blown away by the quality of your work and your step by stepo videos! Thanks for sharing. May the Force be with you!
that's a nice compliment Leonor, thank you!! And may the force be with you too! ;)
That's great idea, this is very time-consuming project, but it's very cool, i like Star Wars, and I have hope there will be more such projects
Thank you Dragon Master! Don't worry there will be more ones from Star Wars ;)
Ya
Will be using this for a fan film project! Thanks for the video and templates!
That's cool Kal S Fox! I'd love to see this fan film of yours when you're done!
Wow! I really love the broken side for it. It looks fantastic!
Thanks Kyle! I hesitated for a while to make this (instead of making the finished Death Star from new hope which would have been easier to make) but I'm glad I did, the result turned out to be very cool.
I agree! Personally I like the broken one better, because it just looks much cooler in my opinion. Glad you went with this one!
No way I did this and now I have showed all my friends just fantastic work
So glad to hear it Broken Cloud! Thank you!
Wow! I’m totally going to try and make this! I’m just stunned by what this man can do with cardboard!
That's a nice compliment, thank you Andrew! If you make it, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you work on it, I'll try to help you as much as I can 😉
What can I say Raphael, That is the best Death Star I ever seen. Yet out of cardboard. Doesn’t cost much. With patience, the project is rewarding. Keep up the excellent posts. Right now I’m ready to do the Millennium Falcon. Amazingly, your cardboard creations are huge. I love that. Perfect time during the Covid-19 quarantine.
That's a really nice compliment Anthony! Thank you!! 🙏 Indeed as we're pretty much all stuck at home it's a great time to make these, even for me actually lol I have more time than ever to make new things which is, I would say for me, the bright side of this situation!
Wow man, very impressive By the way, can u make a mandalorian helmet?🤔
Actually I've been thinking about it for a while! I'll probably do ;)
Now made, The best Mandalorian helmet 😉😁
I had so many cardboard boxes in my garage and didn't know what to do with them. Then I came across this cool dude and I am really amazed by his work. You really deserve more views and subs. Keep it up!
That's a nice compliment! Thank you very much Farhan Karimov!!
I’ve been watching you for a while now and my, you never cease to amaze me, your props/builds are always amazingly accurate to the real thing and the tutorial videos for them are always a treat to watch, trust me, it’s like candy for our eyes, ha. Keep it up!
haha thank you so much for this comment Solar Flare Productions!! Which part of it do you prefer? I'm just curious :)
Epic Cardboard Props now that’s a hard one, I don’t really know if I can decide on that, ha
A fantastic piece. Well done indeed
Thank you very much Leon Hughes!!
Where has this amazing channel been all my life!
Haha That's sweet thank you Elizabeth 😊
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Green Bay Picker, you're very welcome!
THIS IS SO COOL!!! My second son is a product designer in the entertainment world and he gets to play with stuff like this and make fun things regularly. Had I known of his major when it was my turn at college, I would have done this, too. But with help like this from you, I have a tiny opportunity to craft something so fun with my hands and my 15 y.o. homeschooled son as a way cool art project. I was just thinking we would paint an old globe and call it a day, but then I found you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Blessings! :)
Oh that's nice M A, thank YOU! Glad to help! Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!

Monstrously LOVE this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video Just Imagine! 🙂
Dude this is a great talent . No matter how people seee , keep doing your art....
That's nice thank you Grace!
I've been getting recommendations for this channel for a while. You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
Haha thank you Matthew, I do appreciate it
😮😍 wwwoouuuaaawww c'est incroyable !!!! Quel beau boulot 👌👏
Merci beaucoup !!!!
Another amazing work😍 very talented!
Thank you Lady Marionette!
I’m honestly surprised why anyone would dislike this.This is amazing
That's nice This is The way, thank you!
Félicitation ! Impressionnant vraiment !!
Merci Stéphane !
Looks great! If I might suggest slowing your camera movements down on your final b roll, that way we can have a few moments to actually look at all the details. Such a cool project!
That's nice thank you Andy!! I'll think about it for the next ones 😉
Thank you very much for these tutorials that you do that are very good. In this missing case the outline of the drawings made in pencil. Thank you
Thanks José! But I explain in the tutorial roughly how to make it, and I show the bases of it too on screen. I couldn't have shown the entire process because the video would have end up to be 1h long lol... and it's not useful, as the idea is to draw a bunch of vertical lines... lol no need of accuracy here (I wasn't at all on this step) 😉
But if you want to watch the entire process, you can sign up to my email list (link in the description box below the video) it's 100% free, then you'll receive an email with a link leading to a time lapse video of me making this build Start to finish. It can help a little!
I will try my quarantine to make this....and thanks for the template your explanation is really helpfull too
Glad to hear it peanut butter!! Don't hesitate to ask me you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!
I can see this channel becoming really big, I can see you put a lot of effort into these videos too. I subbed
I do appreciate it Wafflem, thank you so much for subscribing and for supporting my work that way!
Maybe one day I will have the time to do this one. For now I need to finish up my Tie fighter! Thanks Raphael
Glad to help Ludovic! :)
Ce que tu fais est vraiment impressionnant, continue comme ça 😁
Merci beaucoup!!
I love your building things i built the x-wing and the tie fighter
I love your work, I never thought that doing such things with cardboard was possible until recently when I discovered your KZhead channel and did Kylo Ren's lightsabre
That such a nice thing to say to me! As this is exactly the goal of what I'm doing here, which is making things from cardboard that you would think it's not possible to make from cardboard. So thank you Faissal's Animation! ;) I do appreciate it. Are you done with Kylo Ren's lightsaber?
@@EpicCardboardProps Yes I did it
Du tres beau travail beaucoup de patience ouf felicitations 👍
Merci beaucoup François!!
sir... you are amazing you inspire me a lot..,
That's nice thank you!
You are so talented I can’t believe it
Oh that's nice, thank you Lockick!
Awesome Deathstar! Love the detail. To me, it's all in the detail. Can't ever have too many greebles.
Couldn't agree more! :)
Beautiful job.
Thank you so much 😀
I really dig you enjoy star war's.. I made a storm trooper helmet from cardboard & car bondo. (My avitar pic)..Looks ok & took along time . Template from paprika (I think it's called).. You sir are on a level we mere mortals can't even fathom.. Awesome death star!!!
Thanks for the kind words Darth Chewch!
ive seen creative and ive seen creative..THAT IS CREATIVE!
Haha Thank you very much richard bradley!!
Very Nice !!! I made a zeppelin in cardboard measuring almost 1,5 meters about 35 years ago ..... used it as a lamp .....
That sounds like a really great build! Do you have some pictures of it?
@@EpicCardboardProps hmm i think i do somewhere....polaroid it was in those days....lol i check my boxes and if i do find it you will know.... in your case the Hindenburg would be a nice build.
This is so cool! I like it.
Thank you, glad you like it!
I have this dream of building a cardboard 1/100 scale of the archangel battleship from the gundam series and your videos are really amazing and inspiring for me.
Thank you alprince reyes! I do appreciate it
Amazing 👍❤️
This is an amazing one🤯🔥
Thank you so much Rashed!!! What part of it do you prefer? Just curious :)
I don’t really watch Star Wars but I really consider making the ones you make, they just look so cool. I’m more of a marvel fan :)
@@rashedfahad4085 That makes this opinion even more valuable to me! Thanks! ;)
Epic Cardboard Props your very welcome, talent is talent, and your videos have further enhanced my skill in making stuff
Saw this on your reddit post, you are truly underrated! This is golden content
That's a nice compliment Ghostriderex, thank you!!
Fantastic! Really enjoyed watching you make this from card. I have always wanted to build an Airship and if you built the Good Year airship that would be awesome and give me hope of building it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll think about your suggestion, thanks Marcus!
I love your work!
Thank you Lawrence Brennan! I do appreciate it
dude, WOW. you are SO TALENTED. I have seen other people make props using better materials than cardboard, but they still don't look movie accurate. But THESE, these are made from cardboard and are movie accurate. I am VERY amazed. Well done, and keep up the good work.
That's really nice Jack thank you! I try to do my best to make them movie accurate indeed, which is tricky from cardboard... Lol but I dig the challenge of it ;)
@@EpicCardboardProps thx for the reply ;)
@@jackscofield562 you're welcome!
Awesome! I sometimes try to do something from cardboard, too
That's cool Antoni!
Wow death star is awesome😊😊
Thank you Stephen! :)

Wow, sooo amazing, you're a genius😱😁🇧🇷

Thank you very much Julka C.!!
Wow! *Many cardboard props!* I'm also trying to make things and props, but I can't make like you. *You......really awesome!*
Thank you!! But I'm sur you can make them like me, it's just a matter of practicing, the more you make it the more you'll be good at it 😉 and with my tutorials and templates the work is even easier for you!
@@EpicCardboardProps *Thanks Ecp* but, *When I upload such a video, do I have any copyright problem from the original model maker?*
Just found your channel. Amazing work. Subscribed! And I've purchased a bunch of your templates. Keep up the excellent work!
So glad to hear it Geoffrey Today!!! And welcome on board then! 🙂 Don't hesitate to ask me you have any questions while you work on these, I'm always there to help!
@@EpicCardboardProps It's great timing because I just bought a new bed frame from ikea, so I've got a ton of big cardboard boxes to use. Can't wait to start on my Death Star!
Wow how amazing👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Just4bricks!
Lol, love your cat. Mine does the same thing when I'm working on my Gundam builds. She insists on setting on my cutting mat while I work. Lucky it's really large. 🐱
Haha strange isn't it? I think they just want us to bring back our attention to them instead of the things we are working on lol
great work
Thank you very much Shadowgamer!!
Perfect a job ...
Thank you!
Show.... muito bom....
It's look's like real👏👏😍
Glad you think so Sanush! :)
Love your creats sooooo mush❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic
Thanks!
your props are really cool. keep it up
Thank you Madis, I appreciate it.
Its true! Your videos allways make my day.I build stuff aswell.Not movie props but dioramas and i am not using only cardboard.If i ever have a chance i should send you some pictures .
@@madiskruusmann302 I would love seing that indeed! Don't hesitate to send me them on my Instagram when you'll be able to :)
Artistic AND environmentally friendly! Well, it doesn't poison you like over half the paints and other chemicals do--!
Haha thank you!
@@EpicCardboardProps You're welcome! People have NO IDEA how dangerous art really is until you read the ingredients labels on the back of these things. The safest thing to use in art is graphite (besides most non-sticky paper) but even then you can stab yourself! Well, at least graphite isn't poisonous/toxic!
Another great star wars build, been binge watching your epic videos, got more to watch lol
Haha glad you enjoy my videos!
Damn that's a very good cardboard death star I must say😮
Thanks you Ralph!! :)
Can you spray paint after the paper is applied or is this not recommended? Awesome video. In progress on one which comes apart with my 5 year old for his birthday. Thank you!!!
This was Epic! You should make the mandalorian helmet. Keep it up!
Actually this one is on my to do list already, just a matter of time! ;)
Came here from reddit! I just wanted to say your channel is really amazing and to keep it up! I cant wait to see what you do next! :)
That's very nice Kathryn, thank you so much and welcome the the community! :)
Brilliant!
Thank you cloverfield911! What part of it do you prefer? I'm just curious.
@@EpicCardboardProps The whole lot especialy all the "bite" details where it is under construction. I've been making several attempts to build my own large one. I have a dog igloo which i cut out to start making into a death star. I think I will follow your instructions to make the rest!
@@EpicCardboardProps Two years ago, I alo began building a large Super Star Destroyer with plywood and plastic bit and pieces. Are you on Facebook? i could show you pics
@@cloverfield911 Glad to hear it! A death Star dog igloo? That's so cool lol have you some pictures of it that are visible somewhere?
@@cloverfield911 I'd love to see it indeed! Yes I have a facebook page under the same name "Epic Cardboard Props" but I'm more active on my instagram (same name too) don't hesitate to send me these pictures!
