Beautiful video, can't wait to see more! When I first saw your cotton batting technique I really enjoyed creating it with Mod Podge and cotton balls, and I can't wait to use it again.
I've never attempted anything like this, but I wanted to make one of these helmets so bad back when the films came out. I think I'll finally get the chance to attempt it!
I love the contrast between your work and Punished Props. Your work feels more professional and clean, whereas Bill and Britt's give that "over at a friends for smithing" vibe.
Knocking it out of the park with a first video! If you're at DragonCon again this year, I totally want to kick your brain over the Creature Cast. You use it so well. Bravo, Nick!
Thank you fort the template! This thing was quite the challenge, since I don't have the neopreme (had some wood glue) and half of my paints were dry, the thick foam was hard and the slim was floppy :D. So I'll have to do it again soon. The outcome became quite excitnig, so I'm happy. 😊
That's great! You can definitely use other materials instead of neoprene. I've seen people use white glue, wood glue, roof sealer, Mod Podge, or even just thick acrylic paint. They all work!
This technique is quite amazing to be honest. I'm planning to make a video for some texture stuff on cosplay an this will be in there for sure. :) @@ModulusProps
Man, I thought for sure that there would be more content to this channel. It seemed so refined and professional and the craftsmanship is fantastic. What happened?
Really great, why don't you put a white hand on it? you don't have to, just thought a white hand would make it look a little cooler.(although it almost can't get any cooler)the cotton was a GREAT idea, and the finish was INCREDIBLE!!!!! Great build bro, gotta give it to ya on this one, bravo!(I love the Uruk-hai, so thanks for this upload).
What an amazing video. Professional production quality. Really knowledgeable and VERY beginner friendly. Why does this channel only have 800 subs and a single video? This is the kind of video I would expect from a full time youtuber. Is there more like this? I visited your website but your last blog post was back from before this video by a mile...... How do I consume more of your content!?
Thanks for your comments! I only build props as a part-time hobby, my full-time job keeps me pretty busy. I have more video content on the way, though. In the meantime, you can always see my latest stuff on my Instagram and Facebook accounts. instagram.com/modulusprops/ facebook.com/modulusprops/
Im a big fan of your content, great work! I’ll probably find a way to make this out of steel later in the fall, I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.
Top work, looks fantastic. However, doesn’t the crest seem to be a bit too short? I thought they were a bit taller and sat a little bit farther forward
No, not on the 1/4 scale collectible version produced by Weta, the same company that designed the helmets for the film. My pattern matches that one very closely.
Really incredible work! The cotton batting's such a clever idea and the final finish is incredibly convincing. Did you give it any final seal to protect the paint job? Or would that dull the effect?
The helmet is not sealed. I usually try to avoid a final sealer if I can, because it can take depth out of the paint job when using a mix of glossy and flat colors.
Good question. Using the same materials as I did, it would be about $75 total for a couple sheets of foam, a pint of neoprene, some cotton batting, and a few bottles of acrylic paint -- and you'd have a bunch of material left over for more projects. For a more economical way, I think you could keep it around $25 if you use low-cost foam floor mats, a bag of cotton balls, Mod Podge instead of neoprene, and some basic craft acrylics.
I think the scale is actually pretty close for an average sized adult. Depending on the look you're going for, you might want to scale it down slightly, maybe 10-15%.
2:23 okay, so say I want to print these out myself. I go and hit print and it wants to just print sheet 1 on a standard piece of paper. So 1) how can I print across multiple pieces of paper and 2) how would I know I’m printing exactly “life size “. P.S. I’m stupid. Lol
What should I scale this to to print on normal 8.5×11 paper, I didn't bother to look so now I've got some tiny templates, and that does indeed not work
To print on 8.5x11 inch paper you'd need to use the multi-sheet printing function of your PDF viewer (i.e. Adobe Reader). If you print at 100% it will be scaled properly for an adult.

now finally you post here - this is really a nice work | tutorial...i need to try from your template....thanks.
Amazing build Nick. Now I have to make one!
Thanks Ted! I'd love to see that!
You are an artist and if I were Saruman I would definately hire you
Yeah
Fantastic video and build Nick! The texture you got with the cotton and neoprene is really fantastic.
Thanks guys! That's my new favorite technique. :)
Yeah, the creation of that texture is such a good technique. I'm going to have to try that!
Finaly...pure realism in foam smithing. I got a new favorite, looking forward for the next video.
When your props look better than the film.used props, you know you are good.👍
Thanks!
Fantastic job Nick!!!
Thanks Steve! I'm loving this HD Foam!
Wow that was too good. I’ve watched it three times now and still can’t get over the realism. You should 100% make more vids.
It's rare to get such high quality content from a youtube channel from the get-go. You have done an amazing job!
Thanks so much!
Beautiful job! Really cool techniques used!
Thank you!
Amazing! you inspired me to build an entire cosplay from your helmet build! Thank you for this 🙏💓
Beautiful video, can't wait to see more! When I first saw your cotton batting technique I really enjoyed creating it with Mod Podge and cotton balls, and I can't wait to use it again.
It's my new favorite technique! :)

your project is quite amazing and your video production is done very well, high quality for sure
Thank you so much!
Very clean work! It's nice to see more people uploading tutorials like this in RUclips! 😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this and especially making the template free. I'll be making this for my Halloween costume.
Iam so glad you started that channel!
I love the contrast between your work and Punished Props. Your work feels more professional and clean, whereas Bill and Britt's give that "over at a friends for smithing" vibe.
Haha, thanks! Truth be told, I learned much of what I know about prop making from Bill and Britt. :)
That was a Masterclass. Well done indeed!
That is awesome man!! It just kept getting better and better. The end result is very authentic. The red lighting is aces.
Welcome to the RUclips props community! \o/ I am thrilled every time an awesome person like you decides to share your awesomeness with us! XDDDD
Thank you!! :D
Such a cool helmet! I’ve never seen that cotton batting technique before. It really gave it an amazing finish
Yeah you're on RUclips! Fantastic edit and build!
Love the care you put into it
Well done lad. 👍🏼
Love the video, and thank you for sharing the colors you used. I just finished building one myself out of PLA and found this very helpful.
Very cool! I'm glad the video was helpful 😄
Awesome work man!
Thanks!
Knocking it out of the park with a first video! If you're at DragonCon again this year, I totally want to kick your brain over the Creature Cast. You use it so well.
Bravo, Nick!
*pick your brain. I don't plan to kick you. Promise...
Haha, thank you! Yep, I'll be at Dragon Con! Can't wait!
That is seriously bad ass! New fan of your channel here. Keep building please!
Outstanding work and some amazing tips. Can't wait to see your next video and learn more. Will definitely be checking out your website.
Thanks!
Realism, very nice work.
Wow that came out nice. Realism definitely comes with imperfections. Dented metal, rust, abrasions, patchy paint
Absolutely! :)
Super cool paint job
Thanks!
Nicely done, simple and also great.
Awesome work mate. Great to see the small scale patterning in practise. Its something i have been considering for my mecha build.
So glad you will be posting videos now, perfect build by the way💯💯💯

@@ModulusProps That is excellent news! We definitely need more content like this on RUclips.
This was incredible! I can't wait to see your next video!
Thank you!!
Excellent video! Brilliant piece as well!
The cotton texturing technique you used would be cool for a Leviathan axe
It definitely would!
Very good build Nick. Please build King Theoden's Helmet.
Amazing helmet, and amazing video too. Great stuff!
Awesome job!
You are an amazing artist!
Thanks so much!

Thank you! I actually already added the white hand :) You can see it here:

Love the build but also loving your style of build video!
Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks!
Wow! I'd love to work more on Props on my channel, I mostly do 3D printing at the moment but this is so incredible!
Thanks!
Amazing video! Really good quality, especially for your first on the channel!
Thank you!
the helmet was very good and I would like to make one, but I would like to know if it has the A4 sheet version.
I only have the 11x17 inch version right now, but you can use the poster feature in Adobe Acrobat Reader to tile it for a smaller page size.
stellar work man
Always loved your work! Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Thank you very much!

Magnificent!
Great work!
Great job.

Thanks! I'm not planning the rest of the armor right now, but you never know. :)
@@ModulusProps The helmet is phenomenal!! You won my subscription!! Looking forward to the next project!!

@@ModulusProps awesome thank you very much. I'd love to attempt both and see how different they would turn out.
Very awesome build. New subscriber here👊
beautifully done.
how much would you scale it down to fit your head?
I think the scale is actually pretty close for an average sized adult. Depending on the look you're going for, you might want to scale it down slightly, maybe 10-15%.
@@ModulusProps I made it with 100% percent scale + 4mm EVA. It fits my head almost perfectly. Thank you so much sir
Looks like meats back on the menu boyz
2:23 okay, so say I want to print these out myself. I go and hit print and it wants to just print sheet 1 on a standard piece of paper. So 1) how can I print across multiple pieces of paper and 2) how would I know I’m printing exactly “life size “.
P.S. I’m stupid. Lol
Adobe Acrobat Reader has an option to tile pages that are larger than your paper size. That's probably the easiest way.
I made mine out of metal from your pattern a year ago:) so thanks
That's awesome!
What should I scale this to to print on normal 8.5×11 paper, I didn't bother to look so now I've got some tiny templates, and that does indeed not work
To print on 8.5x11 inch paper you'd need to use the multi-sheet printing function of your PDF viewer (i.e. Adobe Reader). If you print at 100% it will be scaled properly for an adult.
the blueprint please? i want to make one
