You should start by watching my introduction and prolog to this series. • How to Boba Fett Helme...
This is part 1 of a 7 part series taking you step by step through the process of turning a foam floor tile into a Realistic Boba Fett style Mandalorian helmet, perfect for Cosplay, Halloween or Fan Films.
In order to make things as easy as possible I have made a set of templates for this build. I found a few problems with the templates, but I have fixed them and you can download them in .pdf form here:
drive.google.com/drive/folder...
You can download the cleaned up version of the dome templates R1 and R2 that I made in part 1.
These templates should work perfectly with the templates above.
drive.google.com/file/d/1_mW4...
Instructions for sizing your helmet:
At 100% it should fit someone with 23" (give or take a half inch) circumference at your forehead just above your eyes. I would take your own measurement and use a proportional scale or app to figure at what percentage to print out the templates. I just use an old school proportional scale that I’ve had sense the 80s, but there are Apps that do it too. I found one called “Proportion Scale“ in the App Store. When you get your app, type in 23 for “Starting Size” or “Size of Original” depending on the app, and Your head size for “Scaled Size“, “Reproduction Size“ or something similar. And it will give you the correct percentage. to use when printing. But, I would also print at least one page at 100% so you can mesure the 9" rule on the template making sure your device and printer are printing at the right size.
You can find good quality EVA Foam that is smooth on both sides here:
tntcosplaysupply.com/our-eva-...
For the thick parts of the helmets I'd suggest using the 10mm. foam.

Hi everyone, I’ve just updated the templates on the dome. It’s still the same shape as the ones That I made in this video they’re just cleaned up so that it’s easier to follow and can be printed on smaller paper.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker hey Robert! I’ve tried 3 times to make the dome and each time I’m getting huge gaps in the seams 1/8”. I’ve tried with/without heat forming. I’m sure I can fill the gap with bondo or something but my OCD is killing me!
I guess my first question would be what kind of glue are you using, the barge cement definitely works better than anything else I’ve tried?
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 hi sr id like to know where the templates are because the ones you have put on the description are without the dome thanks and what an awesome job
onixcual
If you scroll down from the link to the templates you already have, you’ll find a second link to the dome templates. They should work together just make sure to print them at the same percentage size as you printed the other templates.
Hope this helps!
The numbered bar at the top. Is that inches?
Who else here is thinking about doing a mandalorian cosplay?
Tears Sm I think that’s why we’re all here 😂
Just started making the costume. (Cardboard and old clothes only) It will be my own designed armor in black and silver and red shoulders.
And don't forget a nice black jatpack.
I only have the helmet done
I am for Halloween. EVA foam, dark metallic, with red accents
Who isnt
Why would you be watching if you weren't😀
As you can tell from my photo I make Mandalorian helmets with craft foam and cardboard it's cool there's a lot of us out there.
Nice pic
I cannot express how much I appreciate this video. I've been building costumes out of cardboard for the past few years and recently I wanted to switch to better, more professional materials, like craft foam. Thank you tons for this video for helping me learn the ropes when it comes to foam cosplay
Thank you so much for this i've been dying to make this helmet for a really long time, but I was having trouble making the template I really appreciate you offering them!
I’m glad I can help, just let me know if you have a questions.
My dude, you are totally awesome! This is literally THE most informative and helpful tutorial for pretty much anything let alone a full blown mandolorian helmet! I plan to make a boba fett helmet first then a custom one. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
I just want you to know, I was skeptical at first to watch, but... when you turned on that belt sander in the opening at 00:40 sec, you sold me, you had me busting out laughing harder than most comedians trying out their best jokes, instant like and subscription, no joke, I'm watching more of your video as I type this and I'm beyond grateful for what you've done for us and I look forward to more! I'm using the template you made to make a Mandalorian helmet as a christmas gift for my girlfriend so I'm more than grateful for your hard work to supply this information. I hope to send you pictures of my work when its done. Keep up the good work!
It really sweet seeing people offer templates out thank you very much ❤
This is the best boba fett helmet I have ever seen on yt, thank you, you helped me alot
I have built a few Boba Fett helmets from templates off the internet...this one is by far the BEST imo. Specifically the dome and overall shape. Thanks PM!
Anim8tor,
The videos are Very similar, his is a bit more generic and mine is specific to a Boba/Jango Fett helmet, but a dome is a dome and Evil Ted knows his stuff.
The main difference is that this video is just one part of a larger project and his is more about general knowledge and learning to shape EVA foam.
Thanks for the comment.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker good to know. thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for taking the time out to do this video series and for making the templates available! You rock!
IWM : I Wanna Make
I appreciate that
I think you’re an awesome and exciting person to watch. Thanks so much for taking your valuable time in life to teach me and others!
Just wanted to say thanks again for these videos, and your Sabine helmet videos. It took us about 3 months, but we armored up a family of 4 custom mandalorians for Halloween. If I could figure out how, I'd post a pic of our 4 helmets on here...
Hello Robert. I watched all the videos of your Boba Fett helmet build and I must say that I'm totally inspired by your work. I tried doing a build multiple times with multiple FAILS. You only need to see my videos as proof of that. Its been well over a year since I looked at attempting a build again.Your videos have motivated me to give it another go....."He's no good to me dead!"
thank you for the idea of using a helmet as the base template for helmets! I can't believe the thought never occurred to me, now for me to get one as a template for my projects
definitely one of my favourite tutorials so far. very informative and a lot of things explained that most other tutorials just skip over. thanks so much! :)
Psycho Cookie
Thanks!
A great teaching series, thank you so much for your efforts and time taken to clearly explain and demonstrate each step.
This is amazing my friend! Thank you for making the time to create the templates and show us this! Stay blessed!!!
I was wondering how to make the top because it is rounded and thus video helped me out a lot! I wanted to make this helmet for ages now but I never knew how to make the rounded top or dome! Thank you for helping me out a little with this!
Blimey! Cheers for all the templates mate!
Thanks for this tutorial! I made my dome along with the video and it helped a lot! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and can't wait to work on the rest.
you got yourself a sub, I've been searching all over for templates for one of these helmets
mineguy 2015
Thanks! And good luck with your project
I tried this on cardboard and it works! Thanks to your best video
Thanks brother. I have already made a mando kit from sintra pvc board and used a rubies two piece Jango Fett helmet with a major repaint but that helmet costed almost 50 bucks and I really wanted a 2nd helmet so these videos and template will come in very handy! thanks again!
Thank you so much! One of the most valuable channels on this website.
im all so starting this build, these videos are quite helpful
I want to thank you for your video it helped get me started
I love the intro of your videos...I dodnt notice the parts on top til just now! LOL
lol this was uploaded on my birthday! great work man it looks AWESOME
Thanks for these videos! Awesome!
Thank you for this video i have been searching you tube for hours for a good video like this.
Gangster Goat
Thanks. I had hoped that by now my videos would be easier to find. But I’ll glad you found it. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you Robert, very cool !
1 minute on the mark into the video and I'm subbing cuz seriously you just made my day a hella lot better! 😂
Keep up the good work! 🎥😄
Thanks for the template! Liked and Subed
Awesome video this really helped me when making my Helmet. If you should try to make a stormtrooper helmet
Mutch appreciated thanks for the templet!
Redtrooper#9
I'm glad I could help
Thanks!!! I've been looking for a good vid!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really well done. You have very straight lines in this build. I've seen some that look floppy, even after sealing, they have curvy lines where they should be straight. Any tips to avoid curvy lines?
The next amazing build I think you could do would be a phase 1 grunt Clone Trooper helmet as there is very little info and patterns out there for that other than the extremely time consuming work with pepekura
your a great teacher
I love the instructions ur a great youtuber
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Ive recommended your videos to about 5 people who want to make their own helmets :) I've had one reply, and he said your videos are very good :)
Ari Hydraa
Thank you very much, I truly appreciate that.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker no worries mate :) be least I could do, your tutorials have proved really useful to me!
The Prop Master with Robert Walker I've posted some pictures @arihydraa on twitter
Thank you.
Love the rugby top.....
Omg, PLEASE do a tutorial on the armor. Your helmets look AWESOME!!!
Thanks!
Working on it now, It shouldn’t be too much longer before I post the first video.
Good, because I myself am working on some armor for a fanfilm, but it could look a lot better. Can't wait to see how you do it!
About when do you estimate that you will have that video out? My friend and I are planning on filming during the beginning of June and we want to have the armor ready as soon as possible so we can work on sets.
Had to stop work to do some art direction but should done on Monday or Tuesday. I’ve finished the templates so I’ll start shooting again next week.
Okay, awesome!! Thanks for the feedback!
I have never thought about using those puzzle mats.....
Thanks so much
Let me know how things go. As far as I know, you are the first person to use the templates. I’ve printed them out and taped them together, but that is all I’ve had a chance to do.
Congratulations, great job.
I ask you if it is possible to have the dome templates updated so that you can print them correctly.
I also ask you if the inch scale of the other images is correct.
I tried to measure it but it is less than 9 inches.
Thanks and congratulations again
Dario Revelli
That is something I am in the process of doing. I’ll finish it up as soon as I get the final video out in a couple of weeks.
Awesome
Nice video I'll subscribe
Thanks, I appreciate that.

Thank you so much for the Themplates👍💪
First I want to thank you for the videos as many have said it’s inspiring. I do have a question. When gluing it together I end up with a bit of a gap in the seam of the dome. Am I doing something wrong?
dustin faucett
It should glue securely along the edge without any gaps. However, as long as the parts not going to pull apart, you can fill any gaps later in the build.
I hope this helps and good luck with your project.
hello there, excelent work, love the videos and im trying to make my own. nut i loved the heavy artilary mandalorian, any chance you got the templates for that one ?
Odin makes has templates for it
do i print the dome templates onto A3 paper then i take it
Trying this out for the first time. Does the foam have to be smooth? I keep looking around the hardware stores and the pieces all have 2 sided patterns on them. Thanks!
Cooper Athletics
At least one side should be smooth. But you can always sand one of the sides smooth. If it helps, I recently saw some EVA tiles at T.J. Maxx that had a smooth side. You can also find smooth sided EVA foam online.
Okay cool, I ll check there! Thanks!
Hi Robert, I don’t know if you’ll see this since it is an old video but I found your channel the other day because I am interested in making my own Boba Fett costume. I have a question, I went to the store the other day to purchase some foam for the helmet but I accidentally bought 5mm thick foam, is this okay for the helmet or will I have to go get 10 mm? Please let me know.
There is a fair amount of the armor that is 5mm. so if you make the whole costume you won’t be wasting it. But for the majority of the helmet you’ll probably want the extra rigidity of 10mm. or 12mm. foam. That said, if you don’t want to buy more foam, you can either glue two layers of the 5mm. together (the two glued layers will be stiffer and harder to work with than one layer of 10mm. foam but will work) or you can try making the helmet with 5mm. foam. When everything is put together and coated in urethane it might be rigid enough but I don’t know for sure. All in all, I would buy the 10 or 12 mm foam if you can.
I hope this helps, and keep me posted on how it goes.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 thank you so much, I’ll check online to see where I can try to buy some 10 mm foam and I’ll keep you posted on my build! Can’t wait to watch the right gauntlet videos!!
I’m planning on wearing a full Boba Fett cosplay at a convention... Do I need to add in air vents on the helmet? I’m worried about having problems breathing while wearing the helmet for hours.
I don’t think you need air vents. But if you’re worried about breathing, don’t use the neck seal that I add at the very end of the helmet project.
Hello and good morning my name is kevin, I used, eva foam sheets and then I make the shapes to make the dome of my head, and then I cut it out and then curve it out and then I use duck tape to use to inside and then I put it all together and then to make the ring for my head
Hi Robert, amazing tutorial...
What is the thickness of the foam you used in this project?
Most of it is ⅜ of an inch (about 1cm) but for the trim pieces I use 5 mm.
Good luck with your build.
Thanks, I will try to start as soon as possible
nice
Thanks!
I’m having some difficulty with the dome is the template for it supposed to be squiqqily on the edges or no because it doesn’t connect well with the other pieces
I would say no, but I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “squiggly”. They are not perfectly smooth arcs, because they are the pattern that I hand cut out from the bike helmet but they should be reasonably clean lines that are the same width as the other templates. The primary issue I’ve come across has been when someone prints the dome at one percentage size and the rest of the templates at a different percentage size.
I really wish RUclips would allow pics to be posted on here.
I notice you are using the 3/8"-7/16" tile floor pieces that I'm guessing are the harbor freight or costco type. I have a large eva workout mat that I found at Ross last night for a song. It's 46x93 inches but only 1/4" thick so I won't have to do any patching for longer pieces. Will that thickness difference be much of an issue or should I just stick to the thicker floor tiles? Loving the video series and will be starting my project soon. I've been tossing back and forth wether I want to do a Doctor Who Cyberman or a Mandalorian and after watching this series, I'm leaning towards the force. Thank you for such a great series.
John Jarrett
Thanks.
It's hard to say how stiff it would be with .25 inch foam. You could always add some foam on the inside in places that aren't stiff enough. The only other issue would be in the size. You will need to print the templates out at a smaller size in order to fit. Or, you could just add strips of foam to the inside of the top so that it will fit snugly. Or you could glue two sheets of foam together to make it .5 inch thick. However you do it, I hope it works out.
Sounds great. Got my plans a little deflated after getting interested in the Mandalorian Mercs since they are big around the Cons I attend. They have a no-eva/no-foam policy for any parts of costume. Sounds like if I were to spend the time and make the helmet out of eva that my only usage around them would be to use it as a mold. I may just build one to have fun and put a great piece in my collection. Still loving the video series. Thanks for the great series.
John Jarrett
Sorry to hear about the Mercs and there no foam policy. I wonder what's up with that. I'm curious if coating a foam helmet with urethane would allow them to accept it?
I don't think that would pass their muster. They accept pepakura that has been fiberglassed or cast helmets. I'll research them a bit more and see how bad I really want to participate. I really just want to build something cool and make others smile.
Okay, two questions and possible follow ups. They may seem stupid though I have my reasons for asking
1 - The top of you pieces working with in the video (side with the writing on) are lacking the texture of the tile you started with in the opening. How did you remove that? (assuming it might be in another video).
2 - If you assembled it with the reference points on the inside of the formed dome instead of the outside (as seen in the video), would that make a difference on how big it would make it? Or as the edges were originally squared off, not really?
OK, I think I understand the questions. I did not remove the texture from the tiles, it’s just on the inside of the helmet.
My first reaction to assembling the helmet with the marks on the inside is that it might make the helmet larger. But the more I think about it, the less I’m sure. I think there is a good chance it might work fine ether way.
If you do assemble it with the marks on the inside, let me know how it turns out.
I hope this helps.
Sorry I'm asking so many questions, but I really want this helmet to be accurate cause I'm using it for cosplay. Here's my question- Can you specify what type of foam and what thickness you use for each? I noticed you used a 10mm puzzle mat for the dome, could you specify types and thicknesses for the other pieces aswell?
Farmboyspence
Don’t worry about it.
It should be in the video, but I used
10mm floor mat and 5mm craft foam.
But you can also just order plain old EVA sheet foam in those thicknesses on-line if you don’t see any puzzle piece floor mats anywhere. I have a link in the video description to a good place here in the states.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 Thank you so much for your help. Fortunately, despite the virus spreading, the Michael's and Joanns in my city are still open, so I am hoping that I will find all of my supplies there. I'm assuming you're using an Xacto razor blade to cut. Is a heat gun essential for the helmet construction or would a hair dryer work just as well?
Farmboyspence, I would suggest using one of those cheep razor knives that have a long blade made of small sections that you can snap off as the tip gets dull. (I use one in the video) The extra long blade makes for a cleaner cut. And unfortunately you really do need a heat gun, I haven’t had much luck using a hair dryer.
How thick are the foam boards that you’re using? I don’t know if you said it and i just missed it, is it just 1/2 in?
Willow
Because of the pattern on one side, it varies in thickness between 3/8 of an inch and 7/16 of an inch.
For the templates do you cut both on the inside of the line
For the dome, yes. For both R1 and R2 you should cut on the inside of the lines.
For the other templates the lines should be narrow enough to cut on the lines.
I hope this helps and feel free to ask any other questions that come up.
Can I only use 10mm foam or is the 5mm foam necessary?
You’ll have a hard time with the cheeks and the trim unless you use a thinner foam.
hello I would like to know in relation to the dimension how to print I can increase the size with% but the piece number R1 and R2 is not of the same size how to make please?
All of the parts should be scaled to one another. I made the templates to fit with the dome pattern all at the same %.
I don’t know why R1 and R2 would be different. Thay all matched when I checked them.
Sorry I can’t be more help.
Dayofd'unstormtrooper TK2191
Actually there is one difference between R1/R2 and the other templates. I made R1/R2 to fit on legal size paper (8.5” x 14”) and everything else was made for Letter size (8.5” x 11”) So you might make sure your printer isn’t condensing the image to fit on 8.5”x11” paper. Hope this helps.
Good Luck
I’d like to see a carbon fiber build of this helmet, I think ill try myself
Hey love your videos just wondering would 12mm foam tiles work for the helmet
Absolutely, The tiles that I used varied in thickness between 10 and 12 mm.
Thanks
Can I get a suggestion for a good dome template Mr. Rob Walker? Because I can't do this dome
Hilario Mendoza
There is a link in the info section that will take you to the set of templates that I used to make the dome.
They are the same hand drawn ones I used.
I hope this helps and good luck.
Hilario Mendoza the dented helmet web site has awesome templates check them out there in pda format
Hi. Are there any other glues i could use in place of barge cement.
Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply. I just saw your question.
I would try to get the Barge, it’s readily available online. But if you absolutely can’t go that route, or you need something to use until your Barge arrives, I would suggest one of the other contact cements. 3M usually has good products, but what ever the big-box home stores have near you should work in a pinch.
I hope this helps.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 thanks
Hello Robert please can you tell me where can you get some of those foam sheets that you have please many thanks kev.
Sorry for not responding earlier. I’m not getting a lot of my message alerts. Now days you can find better foam than I used at just about any craft or art supply store. I know Michael’s and JOANN fabrics both have a great assortment of Eva foams.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 because eva foam is more comfortable on your body and more heater and less expensive then plastic armor.
Hello!
I've just started constructing this helmet. I cannot wait until my Barge glue arrives tomorrow! I've been practicing cutting the foam with the razor knife, because I struggle to get a clean, straight cut, and I don't have access to a sander or saw of any kind- just whatever I can do from my apartment. This costume is already a labor of love, and I've barely started! I wonder if anyone has succeeded in making this helmet? I'd love to see pics! I'll try to update periodically. :)
Rebecca Hickman
I’ve heard several people say that they finish their helmets, unfortunately there’s really no way for anyone to post pictures on here.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 ok, so my barge finally arrived, and I did the dome. I've got a couple of gaps, and I'm wondering if I should do it over tomorrow, or if it is still workable. I'm sure it's super tedious to answer these newb questions, but if you (or anyone!) could take a peek (email? fb?) and give me a quick thumbs up to proceed, or thumbs down to scrap it, I'd be so grateful! I also have a section that's pulling apart. ugh..
If they are peeling apart make sure you are putting a thin even layer of the barge cement on both parts you want to glue. Now let them dry. Then put on a second thin, even coat of barge on both pieces and wait until they are dry but still tacky. Now you can put them together, but wait for at least 3 hours before to use a heat gun on them.
If you just have a joint that is slightly pulled apart on the edge, try using Dap quick seal directly on the foam to smooth out the seam. Check out the first part of this video for how to use it:
ruclips.net/video/ow-HOv8qVjA/видео.html
Hope this helps!
Can you make a Clone trooper helmet both from the animated serie and the star wars episode 3 attack of the Clones movie helmet?
FancyWigglyPanda
I’ll take a look and add it to the list of future builds.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker thanks dude 😄
How much did all of the foam for the helmet and armor cost you?
Farmboyspence
It’s been a while, but probably something like $35. But that was enough foam for 3 helmets.
Should I print it out at 100%, when the circumference of my head is 23"? Or could it might be too small?
Alex, it does seem to shrink a little bit with all of the heating that you’ll do to the foam. And it’s better if it’s a little bit big then small so I would suggest maybe something like 103 to 105%
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 same for me my head is 23 inch around but I'm going to use cardboard... I'm making my helmet mostly for show anyway
What size paper should I use to print the pdf's
8.5 x 11 in.
Hey, man! I'm 5'9, do I print out the chest armor pattern at 100% or less?
Unfortunately there’s no way to know for sure other than trial and error. I go into how to size everything in the first actual armor video (not the body form).
Sorry I can’t give you anything more specific but I do hope this helps a little bit.
Hey love your build videos and decided to try this out but i ran into a problem straight away on step one...The templates you posted for the dome pieces don't actually quite fit on legal paper of 8.5 x 14 dimensions. The problem isn't the length of the paper but the 8.5 width. Bascially one of the tips of the template is getting cut off or running past the edge of paper. I printed in portrait size to match the scale and used no margins. Any idea what the problem could be?
ahhhh i actually have discoverd the problem but its not something i believe i can fix. My printer will not allow me to do borderless printing on legal sized paper for whatever reason. So your drawing will fit on 8.5 but im actually only working with about 8 inches. Oddly it does allow borderless on letter size. This setting is separate from margins...peculiar.
Interesting, will your printer let you “tile” (Print it in sections with marks showing you where to reattach them) the prints? I guess I need to go into the file and cut the pieces in half.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker yes so i found if i printed the file from Windows paint program it tiled it for me automatically and printed correctly across two pages. Only through paint would this work.Back on track!
The dome is to big to go on top of the helmet. The 9 inch ruler is right on both of them. Is this a template problem or can somebody help me figure out a solution? I don't want to waste a bunch of foam trying to print it out at different percentages until I find a match.
I’ve never had them be off more than ⅛ inch. There should be plenty of extra length in the sides of the helmet. If the dome seems to be the right size for your head, I would just cut an appropriately sized sliver of foam and use it to fill the gap. I had to do that once when I cut too much length off of the sides and It worked fine.
I hope that helps.
Let me know if it does or doesn’t.
Did the helmet you used for the template fit your head?
What about custom measurements? How would that work?
No, the helmet I used would be too small for me. Because the outside of that helmet would be the inside of the Boba Fett helmet.
Can you please do a predator helmet and armor build?!
DiamondPremium34
I'll add that to the list, but it might take a little while.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker on thank you so much!
can i use hot glue to reinforce some of the seams in the helmet? i dont really want to over apply contact cement
You can, but I find contact cement much more affective than hot glue.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 i used the cement, and it is holding together fine, i just find that some of the seams are a little weird, so i was thinking of using hot glue just to fix it in place in a easier way
I say, give it a try
Do you happen to have the template in the sizes of more commonly used paper like A4 or A3? Because it's hard to find a printing service shop that can give a 8.5×16 paper because it is not commonly used in my country
I assume you’re talking about the templates for the dome section. Everything else is made for letter sized paper 8 1/2“ x 11“.
I have started reworking those templates to be in the same style as everything else but I haven’t had a chance to finish them yet.
I have two suggestions that should work. One possibility is, you could try to print the existing templates out at 50% size and then take them somewhere that can make copies on large paper and copy them at 200% size. The other would be to print the existing files in parts. Often when you print there is a settings that will let you (tile) an image. Basically it will just divide the image into 4 separate pages and you can line them up and tape them together.
I hope this helps and good luck with your project.
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 thank you for the guide ❤️❤️
Hey, I have just updated the dome templates to be more like the rest of them. You should be able to download them in the information section.
Hope this helps, and good luck
The helmet if you make half of the helmet and cut it out and then flip it over to get the other side of it.
Great video. I just wish you had a mic so I could hear what you were saying.
Mic Ho
Thanks.
The audio gets better as the series progresses. By the third video I have a new mic.
Hey I have 12mm exercise floor tile is that thick enough for this step in making the helmet?
That should be fine
@@thepropmasterwithrobertwal6186 thanks
Can you use a blow dryer as a heat source?
Trinity Fattig
Unfortunately, a hairdryer just will not get hot enough. However, I have seen heat guns for sale for as little as $10
The Prop Master with Robert Walker , thank you so much. I’m going to really enjoy making this helmet with your helpful tutorial.
do you have the templates available for a4 or a3 printing? i tried two times already but it comes out very big or too small! thanx in advance! also do you have patreon? would like to give you a cup of coffee!
realmezz
No Patreon yet, that’s one of the many things I still need to do.
But I have just updated the dome templates to be more like the rest of them. I hope this helps.
Thanx Robert! will keep an eye out for your patreon! thanx for the reply
Awesome Tutorial :-). I need to resize the template to fit a hat size 6 3/4' for my son. Could you help me out ? I really have problems with the resizing since i am from Germany 😅. Thx in advance👍

Can you tell me what the circumference of your son’s head from just above his eyebrows, around to the very tops of his ears and back around. cm are fine or in inches.
I double checked ^^ its 53 cm. And I have to print on Din A4 or Din A3 paper... 🙈Thx for your help. :-).

My suggestion would be to print all the templates at 91%
Worked nicely :-). Thx again for your help 👍

Glad I could help
so this is basically the same as Evil Ted's Dome tutorial?
Very similar, his is a bit more generic and mine is specific to a Boba/Jango Fett helmet, but a dome is a dome and Evil Ted knows his stuff.
The main difference is that this video is just one part of a larger project and his is more about general knowledge and learning to shape EVA foam.
Thanks for the comment.
where can you get the templates to print
The templates can always be found in the info section.
Can you use other material like cardboard?
You can, but you’ll have to cover the whole thing with something like fiberglass or Bondo
So I am trying to print out the dome templates, but even on legal paper it isn't printing to scale. The 9 inch scale you included in it is coming out to around 7 inches. Anyone have any ideas? I don't think the problem is any of my scaling options on my printer, I've tried everything.
Actually I just got it. Should've read the comments first. I have to custom scale the print to match it. Thanks!
Glad to hear you got it figured out.
Good luck with the build.
Hi, I was wondering what thickness of foam you were using?
Slicc
Most of the helmet is made from roughly .5 in. or about 1cm while most of the accent pieces and trim are 1/4 in. or about 5mm.
I tell you when to use each size in the videos.
The Prop Master with Robert Walker thank you very much :)))
Hello, I was wondering if these templates can fit a 11 year old? (Me) and if not how can I make the templates smaller? Thanks 😄👍
You should be able to change what percentage size you print from your browser. And I go into how to choose what percentage that is in this other video for Sabin’s helmet. It’s a different helmet but the procedure is the same.

I also have some instructions above in the info section of this Boba Fett video.
I hope this helps and good luck with your build.
What foam thickness of foam did you use?
Mostly .5 in or 10 mm and the trim is .5 mm
The Prop Master with Robert Walker thank you very much
