Reminds me of skyrim
I absolutely will do that! Thanks for all your amazing content and generosity btw. Love you two!
If you guys haven't already done it, I would love to see a video on how to make the helmet wearable- as in what to put inside so you can securely attach it to your noggin. :)
I see Optimus Prime and Bumblebee instead of dwarven helms but then again I'm nuts!
Punished Props Academy blue more transformers like
BUY MY HOOOORRRNNNSSS!
Dwarves are always horny. Must be the beards.
BUY ALL THEIR BOOKS!
Horrrrrrnnnnnnnnns....
Wooow this is a meme in the cosplay community
@@apocalyptomp9885 Needs to be on a T-shirt....oh wait!
Lol
Also I would never say "please"...
😂🤣
Hahaa! You're SO right! =D
Svetlana just sics her secret army of attack Corgis on any who refuse to buy the books, lol.
@@ThatBassistKendall Attack Corgis wearing Dogmeat Armor.
Nope, no you would never
I find myself sitting here watching the video, and bobbing my head every time Bill and Britt start to dance. Very weird but I'm not complaining
You are not alone.
Prop making is fun!
It was so incredible to see my two favorite nerds back together making foamish goodness in the shop again. It's been too long. Amazing as always and now I can't wait to try out some different designs on my own helmets! Thank you for being awesome!
Thank YOU for your fantastic support! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos :)
I know. I've missed them so much.
Remember non American folks, you can get the digital version as well to avoid the shipping cost, and it is just as good. Personally as much as I love physical books, having it on the screen while you are doing it is actually a lot easier.
So, buy their books!
True! Thanks so much for sharing!
I er uh speak for everyone in the community when I say, you two are adorable together.
@@chrismsmalley2626 So? Height isn't everything as long they love each other
IronBloodedMexican pretty sure he was joking ;)
I thought they were a couple
Gawww thanks! We have lots of fun together :) We're married for a reason!
@@punishedprops Yeah it's pretty great seeing two people have so much fun.
Those are both very good looking helmets, I really like how the Dwarven helmets look so heavy. Great job!
Isn't that cool?
@@punishedprops It is! And it's a nice coincidence this came out now since I was just looking at some pics of dwarven helmets :)
It's always so cool when that first layer of primer, plasti-dip, paint, etc goes on a project. It instantly transforms a project that looks like nothing but a bunch of material with visible seams and noticeable defects into a smooth surface that's just screams perfection. Great job Bill.
Thanks very much! It's always hard to get to that step - easy to think it's not going right! But then bam. Magic.
Helmet looks great Bill and Britt and Thanks for the shout out using my HD-Foam!!!!!
Any time good buddy!
It is nice to see Britt in the last couple videos
Yeah!
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for all of the amazing content that you've put out over the years and for inspiring me! I was just recently accepted into my college of choice for "Film and Television" and "Production Design" and if it were for these videos I wouldn't have known what direction I wanted to take my life in. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. I wish you the best!
That's absolutely fantastic!! Congrats on your acceptance, we're so stoked you find our channel fun and helpful :)
Brit seems like a good friend:)
She's my best friend :)
Fun as always. Watching you two having fun working on a project brought some brightness to a somewhat gloomy day. Thanks for that.
You're so welcome :) Happy our videos can make a difference
Very inspiring project has encouraged me to try a dwarven helmet.
that shop is a dream come true
We agree :)
Welcome back! I’m very happy to see you both...missed you guys, and these vids! Hope you both are well and safe! Beautiful helmets...love the paint job
Thank you so much for your support!
The attention to detail throughout this build is amazing! The helmet looks great
Thanks so much!
I adore how thorough your build videos are.
We're so glad you think so!
Those helmets look wicked, great to see some LoTR props.( it totally looks like Gimli’s helmet)
Thanks very much!
Magnificent piece of work ❤
The book is fantastic!! So glad to see you guys with a great project today.
Thanks so much!
The 2 variations look great.
Thanks!
Wonderful to see you two putting out videos again!
We're enjoying it :)
Awesome Job Bill and Britt. Love the New Studio.
We really do too :) Thanks for watching!
6:15...I just wanna do the Charleston now😁
I love the foam assembly music
Thanks so much for watching!
I'd love to see a full set of dwarven armor!!
That would be epic
Another way of doing the recessed parts is cutting all the was through, then gluing it back together. Then after you glue the parts back together you can run a knife along the backside to even it out. This also preserves the "finish" of the foam when you use something like foam fitness tiles. I'm not 100% sure who I saw doing that. Might have been you or Ted? But I found it to be a bit more forgiving.
We use that technique often! Super handy.
Awesome build video it was great seeing you both in a foam build video!!
Thank you so much!
Love Highlander so much!
YES, I love LOTR and the Dwarves are my favorite, great job!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video!
Such a great vid, I will for sure look into buying that book!
Thanks so much!
Glad to see you guys back!
We're loving being back in the shop!
@@punishedprops we missed ya 😁👍
so planned through...no time for errors...minimized to a minimum...i dont work with patterns that much but it sure seems helpful when it has to be so exactly as yours...awesome build
They can be super helpful!
I just finished making my foam head a few minutes ago! It was a little harder than I expected but turned out great!!
Great to see you again so soon! Now to watch some foam build goodness :)
Woooohooooo!!
Love all the vids y'all have made over the years. Been a long time subscriber and happy to see how the channel has grown
Thank you so much!
I've been looking for a good EVA foam dwarf helmet since quarantine started. Lo and behold, the gods of foam cosplay have answered my prayers at last. Great build you guys!
Aww we're so glad you're excited about the build!
Love your work it has inspired me to try and work with foam ...keep up the great job ..love you guys
Heck yeah! Have so much fun! Share what you make with us on Twitter: twitter.com/chinbeard
Thank you so much for this tutorial video friend

I bought my copy a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait until I can actually sit down and read through it!
Fantastic! Hope you enjoy it :)
Aaaaawww the power of two restores the true dwarthen helmet
AHHhhhhhhhh the drip of silver paint!! lol
Womp :)
I am so glad i get here!
Wonderful to see you two playing, err presenting, another workshop video. :)
Foamsmith 3 has been on my birthday wish list since it came out. Only a couple of weeks to go now - I can hardly wait!
Fantastic! Happy early birthday!
@@punishedprops The postie dropped the book into our mailbox just as we were going out to birthday lunch. Thank you, Bill and Britt!
The new garden is planted. Only needs basic weeding for now. Time to get back to building
Woohoo!
I like that the the only way to get you in the shot you had to cut half of brits head off. Need to start a punished props step stool fund :)
Awesome! Love the colour scheme!
Thanks so much!
Soo good to "hear" from you guys. That you both look super good. Pandemic has not slowed you down.
Thanks very much! We're doing our best! Hope you are too :)
So cool! Last weekend (after trying to make my own template) I bought the basic helmet pattern to create Gimli's helmet from lotr for this halloween. Its my first build and I'm really exited to continue on the helmet. Your video's have been really helpful so far!
That's wonderful!
Awesome job! You never fail to amaze me!
Thanks so much!
I had so much fun watching this thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks so much for watching!
YESSSS I miss seeing the two of you working on a project together... 👍
❤
It's great to see Brit working on things in a video again instead of just holding the camera.
We love working together :)
That blue color really is pretty
Thanks! Blue is my favorite color :)
Welcome back!
Thanks!
So happy to see you again! I love the idea of adding film to the helmets, and make it into a face shield (because Quarantimes), though I'd need to find some way to keep it fog-free ::ponders::
That's the eternal struggle with any helmet with a visor! I hear helmet fans are pretty nifty!
love the music bill!!
Thanks!
I love your videos been watching you for years now, and your videos make me happy
That's fantastic to hear, thank you so much for your support!
Looks amazing! Thank you for your instructional videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I bought the books, and I hope to start making stuff with foam in the near future. Who knows, maybe a helmet like this : )
That's wonderful! Have so much fun, and thank you for watching our video!
Happy to see a new vid! You guys are awesome!
Thanks so much!
This lady seems like such a sweetheart, she's oozing niceness all over the place lol
Oh my gosh....thank you sooo much for this!!
You're so very welcome!
So great to have you guys back! Seems like ages since the last big project. Pleeeease do a Stormtrooper Helmet build, maybe one Original trilogy and one Sequel trilogy?
Have you seen my tank trooper helmet build? ruclips.net/video/8DPUVGWFYFs/видео.html
Perfect timing, i'm just about to remake my Earthfury helm to put light-up eye visors in :) best timing for a helmet making vid TYTY
Right on!
At 6:26 you had me thinking of the "Checking the cell structure!" from Woody Allen's 'Sleeper', during the "Cloning of the nose" scene.
Fantastic build, all the 'hiding the crimes' detail...well thought out.
Thanks so much for watching!
Who dares dislike this video lol its amazing!! I'll buy the book soon!! So many projects so little money to work with lol
The eternal struggle! We really appreciate your support :)
"pick your favourite thing and make it" I love that mentality
it feels like forever since seeing your work.
We're back we're back!
BOOOOORN UNDERGROUND!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Guys, this is awesome. I'm buying your books for sure. Also, I'm making one of those so I can wear it when I play DnD haha.
Heck yeah! Share what you make with us on Twitter: twitter.com/chinbeard
It's great to see you guys again. I've missed your videos terribly.
With a few minor changes you could turn this design into a Conan (1982 movie version) baddie helmet. :)
Totally! Thanks so much for your support :)
Missed your guys faces. You two are so cute. Awesome video as usual.
Aww thanks :)
I would love to see a full Dwarven Armour set!
Thanks for letting us know you're interested in that build! We have our current schedule worked out, but there could be room for this kind of video in future plans.
How about pushing a few pieces of long iron binding wire into the foam from the edge, parallel to the plane of the foam, then gluing the ends so they stay in place.
This would (I think) create a stiffener that would make the cheek pieces hold their shape really well?
You could also make a jig that would push the wires in - nice and parallel to the flat surfaces of the foam.
Also sharpen the end of the wire first - before pushing into place.
been wondering where you guys were!
We're here in the shop!
6:40 to 7:09 if you didn't cut out that grove you have a good base helmet for The Mandalorian!
this is incredible! as a cosplayer this is great! it would be incredible to see y'all make the X-Kairo launcher from Siege!
Thanks for watching!
