Making Darth Vader's Helmet from Star Wars
FREE TEMPLATE DOWN BELOW.
I definitely used the force on this build. In the video I show you how to make a Darth Vader helmet out of EVA foam. I made mine using 6 mm, 4 mm, and 2 mm EVA foam, Two 24 mm EVA dowels, velcro, contact cement, super glue, Plasti Dip, spray paint and some acrylic wax metallic paint. You may also need the following tools:heat gun, a Dremel with various bits, and exacto knife or box cutter.

Wow this is insane! So good! This blows my Star Wars DIY I posted today out of the water! 👍
No, I think it looks great. Thank you, Much Props. this will help me in making the rest of my 'Darth Vader' helmet.
super underrated
Thanks. I am 20 times bigger than I was this time last year. I just hope people continue to enjoy my builds and share it with their friends.
Oh my god perfect helmet
Thanks
I'd love to see you do your own take on a custom Lightsaber Hilt.
Man you rocked it. It came out so clean. Keep it going .
Thanks. Will do.
Awesome job, my friend!! Definitely not an easy build. Like a few other people I wouldn’t mind seeing you do an X-wing pilot helmet or even an original stormtrooper helmet!
That mask look so amazing, you make muy dreams true.
Thanks. I think it turned out alright. There are a few areas that I think need a little bit of work or extra detailing but overall I am pretty pleased. Glad you like it.
lit build!
Espetacular. Parabéns...
Gracias mi amigo. 😁👊
Omg so cool I love star wars . Can you make more star wars items👊❤💪
You still make the best props :D
genial my friend ....saludos de argentina
Quite awesome.!
Thanks. I aim to please. I have some other Star Wars stuff planned soon.
Man I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, now I'm mostly done with most of your vids and I have to admit, you are very talented first, but also underrated. Dunno why you don't have more views or even followers, maybe due to KZhead shitty algorythm, but you deserve way more recognition for your work ! Love the way you don't just use 3D models and PepaCura, and then explore way more games and movies/TV franchises than most of foam props making ; also giving all your templates for free is great Keep up the good work man
Good to hear. It's always nice to have positive feedback. I'm still a pretty young channel and it is growing slowly. I'm thankful for every view and sub I get. I've been trying to add more variety, which often means making builds to things I am not familiar with. Just love to share creativity. Thanks for watching. More builds every Tuesday and Friday
Pretty helmet
thanks.
Like the helmet videos, awesome build 👊🏻
Thanks. Got another one coming on Friday.
Much Props Look forward to it
Woww that’s awesome! Lil but different from the usual! I personally like these types of videos a lott! You always make epic stuff! Big fan ! Shoot out to 🇧🇷 brasil lol
More variety will be coming. As the Fortnite request slow down, I will start dipping into different series. May even try my hand at a few different materials also. Thanks for watching and the encouragement.
awesome work you did there i shared the video on my facebook hope to bring you some more subs
Very very good, tank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you like it. and Bonjour from Texas
The people who disliked the video are probably the dead jedis from order 66
🤣👊 it wouldn't matter if it was perfect, someone always has to be a troll
@@MuchProps hey great job on the helmet broo i'm planing on making it I just hate to see dislikes on a really nice piece with a really nice guy making it
Thank you bro ❤
Welcome 😊
You are so cool. Love this build 👍👍👍👍👍
I don't know about being cool, but I will take it. I'm sure my junior high students will never use those words to describe me. LOL. Glad you enjoyed the build. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Much Props do your students know you build such awesome stuff!!! Maybe you should be an art teacher 😉
@@thecosplaynoobj3872 they know what I do. Some are really into it and others could care less. I teach technology applications and i also teach art.
mis felicitaciones, admiro tu creatividad e ingenio, nos das la oportunidad de hacer algo genial para nuestros hijos, espero me salga también como a ti, mucho me agradaría si pudiera hacer, el casco de un stormtrooper el modelo original, te agradezco mucho tus vídeos, y deseándote la pases muy bien, saludos.
that is so awesome man! sadly i didnt find this earlier i already payed for a template , but this video is amazing
Most people charge for their templates. I prefer to share them to make building easier and not hurt the pocket book. There are tons more builds on my channel that have free templates though.
@@MuchProps not finding your templates- when can i locate a copy?
@@jameschase6004 in the description of the video at the bottom
Not bad
How would you reccomend adjusting the scale? I love the templates and let me take a second to thank you so much for them. It has been a childhood dream to have a wearable Vader helmet but currently my version looks a little like Rick Moranis from Spaceballs.
I came by to say the same thing! I am Darth Helmet! Let the Schwartz be with you!
I like it but if you made the she’ll have kinda have a point and make the cheeks more straighter it would look perfect 👌 still is really awesome because no one attempted this besides one other KZheadr! Awesome job dude
Underrated xD
thanks XD
Love the build. Would like to see you tackle a samurai helmet next :)
Before I had my own channel, I made for a thermal plastics channel called Polly Plastics. I made one out of a hard hat and a bucket. Click here kzhead.info/sun/rZmRlN2cjGN-gYE/bejne.html
Omg that’s you! I’ve seen this video before. No wonder you looked so familiar. I just forgot the name of the channel.
Yep. It's how I got my start. There is around 20 or so videos on that channel that I made. Video quality isn't as good as it is now and I did a lot more talking as I built.
Why does this guy make it loke so easy
The power of editing. A lot of work goes to making each video and you get to see the highlights of it. Not the hours of me banging my head against the table trying to figure out how to make a part. I promise it isn't as easy as it looks for me either. I just have lots of practice.
This is so awesome. I would love to have the template for my mini crocheted vader. But I can't find the template. I've scrolled up and down several times and I don't see a link. Can you please indicate where it is. thanks so much. and Greeting from Ft. Myers FL.
Click on the description under the video. It's the last link
Nice👌
thanks. I never realized how detailed his forehead was. Funny to have so much detail on a portion that hardly gets any screen time.
I love the template design, it's just that i thought that everyone is written on the template, but one info is missing, that we need the helmet base side/front and eyes... TWICE!.. all of the parts. i noticed this now when i started building the mask and i have it only half made xD
LOL. That's why I make the cover page to explain it all out. Most people jump past that page and immediately get to cutting out parts. To make things more symmetrical, it's better to use the mirrored image of something you've already cut out.
Please can you make c-3po??
You deserve much more Views and likes!
Thanks. I'm just glad anyone watches. Would it be even better if hundreds of thousands watched, sure. But the faithful viewers I have are usually really positive and supportive. Saw the post of that helmet you are working on. Will there be a tutorial with it? It looks awesome, even just in its beginning stages.
@@MuchProps i realised that its easier for me to build without the Focus on the camera... It costs effort and energy to record and to édit...much props and respect for your Work: 2 videos per week plus editing plus building plus Family plus Work!!! Respect Thomas !!!!!!!!
Great build but I got a quick question, what brand of filling jell do you use? I decided to start using some on future builds because overdoing hot glue just isn't cutting it anymore. 😅
Usually if I have gaps I use Loctite 2 in 1 Flex sealant. On a lot of my builds though I don't use any, though I probably should to fill little imperfections. The better you get at cutting the foam straight and making your seams flush, the less you need. But Loctite is my go to. If I make stuff out of carboard, I use the hot glue technique also.
@@MuchProps thx
pls make the bloodhound helmet, love u
E fera demais mano
👊
Looks amazing, id like to make it but EVA Foam Is kinda hard to work for me...
It takes a while to get use to the material. But once you do, OH the things you can create. Thanks for watching.
@@MuchProps Thanks for the tip
Looks amazing!!!! Hope you and your family are doing alright after that tree hit your house.
Thanks. Still got to break down a tree that fell in my backyard too but everything has returned back to normal. We were luckier than several of our neighbors. Thanks for the concern. It really takes me back that people I have never met or people halfway around the world were worried. Such an awesome community we are building on the channel.
Nicely done! What did you use for the end pieces on the tubes near the mouth?
I just carved notches on an eva dowel, then rounded over a smaller one and glued it on top of the notched one.
Can you make one of the Phones from the eighties
Have you done any Marvel/Dc props such as an iron man mark 50 helmet or a red hood helmet
I have. A few weeks ago I made a Captain America helmet. And coming very soon will be an Iron Man build.
Much Props Mark 85 . . .
Noice
how did you make the silver Knobs on the "hoses" by his mouth?
EVA dowels
StormBreaker Pls
como você tira as marcas de emenda?
Marcas de emenda? Se você está falando sobre as marcas de registro, não o faz, apenas as pinta.
also what glue are you using?
I use Barge Contact Cement
@@MuchProps Thank you so much Tom! i'm from Europe and in my country some of the materials are harder to get by, for example the dowels can't be bought only ordered to be made in massive stock. So i decided to tackle the dowel situation by buying a sheet of 24mm eva foam and cutting and sanding the edges myself for the tubes. I love your content, and am sad i didnt know about you before! maybe we can make a collaboration one day, since I am new in the mask making business, but so far i made masks out of Alabaster, looking forward to make this vader mask as my first project out of EVA. cheers!
Makes helmet xwing pilot, please
Yes!! I agree
Long Vader lol
Hey couch what's next if you up to it can you put the new god of war axe
Friday's build will be something you have been asking me for a while for. It was a little complex of a shape to figure out, but I like how it turned out.
I want to Print the template, but I don't know the paper size.. is it A4????
My templates are on American standard letter paper, which is 8.5 x 11. So not quite A4
@@MuchProps Thank you for the information and greetings from Indonesia
Or buy one for $100 on amazon
can you make kylo rens mask
Helmet(casque) luke skywaker x wing is possible ? Tank you ,me is french 😉
Ei tu muito fera
Thanks
Could you make an Iron Man helmet?
Funny you should say that. It is coming very soon. Already completed it just got to edit the video and template.
YES!!!!
please make a kylo ren helmet
You should make the Stardust Dragon Staff from Terraria
This darth vader look like he been through some shit
His nose kind of slopes down a little bit. Maybe he's starting to melt :D
Make the infinity gauntlet
I have an idea for making this, but it will be completely different than my normal builds. Weather permitting I might try it this week. And it may involve a chainsaw. Fingers crossed that it works out.
Was it heavier this time LOL
LOL. Nope it was lighter than expected. ROTFL
You should make a lil whip helmet from fortnite Darth Vader helmet looks so real
