Warren King is a former engineer turned artist, and he's a wizard when it comes to cardboard. Most of his mesmerizing sculptures are made with just cardboard, glue, and a knife. Warren shows us how to build our very own robot helmet, using the techniques he's perfected throughout his career.

My little guy likes making crafts like this, definitely showing him this, and, dude, you're what's right with the world today.

[@jhitchcock5503]

Someone is getting ready to remind her grandsons why their Grandmama is the best grandmama ever! Thanks. :)

[@tatid6743]

🥺🥺🥺

[@ceciliafontes7262]

Ok but, why nobody is talking about how amazing his sculptures are?

[@duvalmonga]

Definitely something to mention. The details are incredible.

[@dylanwhite7881]

I don't know when I'll ever need this but I'll watch anyway

[@duvalmonga]

Thank you so much for this details craft. I have to build a robot helmet for my son and most of the diy videos aren't so details like yours.
You just made a little boy happy and helped a dad to create something cool for his lil guy.

This would also be cool to do in EVA foam.

[@rodolfohernandez3303]

[@balbinpradobrucedevy7549]

Grax

[@HuhSubject]

Why does the helmet remind me of ingenium or tenya iida?

[@TheBlister69]

Did anyone else try making the "ring" alone and end up gluing it their head?

[@ElliotKwan]

Is this a tekkaman blade helmet? 😃

[@gabrielmaran2060]

[@princeetraksid7600]

[@nelsonw8848]

Why don't you wear masks?

[@cobyowen1274]

[@ozb8884]

Need a ring?

[@revelationglitch6408]

Why

[@notastrangeperson2298]

But why?

[@axelpatrickb.pingol3228]

The cosplay community scene heavily uses EVA Foam for things like robot parts and armor. EVA foam is a rather pricey material to use (in my country at least) and professional cosplayers tend to look down on cardboard...
