+I watched about five seconds of it yeah, but the light sabers that extend. They look bad, but how else are you gonna hit that one guy that keeps touching your stuff and bothering you?
If you ever bondo a textured prop or helmet in the future, try to knock back some of the existing texture when sanding. Then hit it with sandable "filler primer." you can find it at auto body shops and at Home Depot/Lowes. That fills in any microscratches you might have missed. Then to add texture back to it/sort of match what it had, spray on something called Flex Seal, which is also at Home Depot. It's got a great knobbly sort of semi-leather texture. It's a nice option for folks like me that don't have access to a lot of resin or casting supplies.
Word of advice: if you want the filling job to be less difficult, leave the circuit boards under the two switches even if you take everything else out. That's what I did and it worked well.
Thank you so much for this video! I desperately wanted a Kylo Ren helmet, but the seam annoyed the hell out of me. I used your video to improve my helmet, and it turned out great, especially for my first customisation! My only problem is that I didn't mix the resin that well, and it was quite tacky for a few days.
This was great timing Chris! I'm currently planning on cosplaying as Kylo Ren for my first cosplay. Your videos should really help me in making it. Thanks dude and keep up the great work! :)
+Cosplay Chris Chris I love ur videos and ur customs are amazing and ur awesome ur videos make me laugh like hell and u try making the new civil war spiderman webshooters for a tutorial
I've recently started cosplaying. I just by chance stumbled across this video because I bought the Black Series Kylo Ren Helmet. This video was fantastic. Liked and Subscribed. Awesome job.
I did a full gut, fill, disney faceplate replacement with one of these. I wish I had just sanded the whole texture off because I hit it with hammered finish after just to hide all the work I did on the seams. But I really enjoyed watching your take on this there are all these people doing it but no one goes out of their way like you did to show it. It looks great.
+Turtle Neck I'm completely aware of that dude, this guy is awesome, and it was a recommendation and just that. I know personally I'd rather see wayy more of these and costume/prop set up than some other things on his channel lol
a good trick is use vasoline on areas you don't want painted, then spray paint over whole area, then just wash off vasoline, easy to make cleaan lines and not as fiddly as tape on small areas
Great Video! I have this helmet but have not done a custom paint job on it. What I did do though was put some wadding in between the speaker and front plate to modulate the sound. I have a big nose so removed the nose rubber. It is hellishly hot to wear so marked out the eye socket on the plexiglass visor, cut that out with a dremel then put bonsai mesh in between the glass. This is great for ventilation. I also turned the microphone around 180 degrees to help with the terrible voice changer.
These are my favorite kind of video you put out. Costumes and stuff are great and I like those ones too, but I find the DIY mod stuff a lot more interesting.
Dude that is some sick customization, I've seen the phasma, hulkbuster, lightsaber and batfleck customs and I really wish I had the time and patience to that. You also Inspired me to start working on a joker cosplay costume. keep up the amazing work!!
Chris, I just love your videos, specially the custom props! And you inspire me to do a lot as well! Thanks for the amazing tips on each videos! Great work!
Excellent tutorial and very funny video Chris! I really loved the "paint chipped away" look around the edges!! I didn't think it will end up THAT good! perfect illusion of a metal helmet under the black paint. I hope to put in practice some of your advises soon Greetings from Argentina!
Another couple of options for texturing the helmet would be: 1. Spray-on/roll-on bedliner for trucks. 2. Spraying with stone texture paint (ie, Krylon's Fleckstone) then coating with final color.Also, for a truly chrome look to the face detail, you could go with Bare-Metal foil or even aluminum foil attached using spray adhesive.
I know this is asking a lot but, could I get a full shopping list of all the equipment I'll need to do this? this will be my first project and I really don't wanna get the wrong thing and mess up my helmet. yours is the best looking one I've seen by far.
Cosplay Chris when you said put some "Mesh" I painted my Mesh red to look movie like then washed it then lightly sprayed the glass red to get the glow effect. Then I added some red light inside the mask to have more of the glow. Then when ever I turn off the light in my house. It has a nice glow effect.
I love everything about this, but if you want to keep the voice changer in, just gut the microphone from a voice changing face mask kylo ren helmet, and bold it up to the microphone slot in the black series. You have to snip some plastic off, and splice a couple wires but its super easy. I'm gonna apply the REST of these mods to mine though ^.^
I would have suggested using a speaker cloth over the visor to eliminate of the glare of the visor itself, and replace the black backing of the faceplate you open up more ventilation and be a bit more screen accurate
Can you help? The putty in the holes where the buttons were keeps on 'moving' and it cracks. would puting the resin on solve this? Or would you recommend some strong, sandable mounting glue?
10/10, would slam this on the table to intimidate others with face reveal.
+Kylo Ren or would you slize the table with your lightsaer?
+Benjamin Morsch
Both.
LanceGaming 64 that was a kylo clone.
+Benjamin Morsch KILO REN and you are awsam
I saw you on his kylo lightsaber vid
I preferred the shiny chrome on the original helmet, but this is an incredible job!
Why on earth can't these companies make a decent voice changer?
+bummer6 They can't be bothered
+bummer6 well they did it properly on the disney one, so i think they did it on purpose
+I watched about five seconds of it yeah, but the light sabers that extend. They look bad, but how else are you gonna hit that one guy that keeps touching your stuff and bothering you?
Jeremy Mackin pretty sure you replied to the wrong comment or something.
ouncy your profile picture makes that statement very ironic.
2019 and I still go back to watch these vids. Never get old to me man! Love em
Customize one of those plastic captain America shields!
+ThundergunJoe Dude isn't that funny! i JUST ordered one off ebay to do a tutorial haha
+ThundergunJoe agree
+Cosplay Chris thank you
+Cosplay Chris YES
+Cosplay Chris you should do Thor's hammer( I know what it's called I just can't spell it)
That Batman looks so good. That's been my favorite of all of your projects.
I was yelling black shoe polish all throughout the sharpie section
Black shoe polish would look alot better
Black acrylic watered down....
Love the Kylo Ren dance moves. 100/100 chris. Its effing glorious.
You should show us how to make some web shooters for your next custom?
Yes!!
Personally hated the Amazing Spider-Man movies but the web shooters in both movies were pretty sweet
+BenChocolateman in the first triology spiderman didn't use web shooters
+Watsap Luis Felipe I know, but those movies were good
+BenChocolateman Remember how "good" those disco dancing Peter Parker scenes were?
Great job Chris, been waiting for this one, looks awesome will have to give it a go
It looks AMAZING! The detail is incredible and you can tell how much better it fits with the electronics gutted. Very cool 😀
awesome chris your stuff needs to be sold all over the world as fandoms would purchase them in seconds
Oh man what you did is like a masterpiece,from figures to this.....

this last part with wearing the helmet was sooo good. the first pose already cracked me up and it got even better. youre the best.
awesome! I definitely liked what you did inside the helmet to make it fit more well and comfortable
Word of advice: if you want the filling job to be less difficult, leave the circuit boards under the two switches even if you take everything else out. That's what I did and it worked well.

Awesome video and awesome custom! You definitely got skills, dude!

You made something that was already good 10 times better!

But I really enjoyed watching your take on this there are all these people doing it but no one goes out of their way like you did to show it. It looks great.
Chris you are one talented dude.
Amazing! I never couldve imagined it could be so drastically improved.
New subscriber. LOVE the collectible makeover videos!!
+Jake Vacura Thanks Jake :)
+Cosplay Chris no problem. Keep it up!
+Cosplay Chris hi can you do a try not to laugh challenge plz
xo
Oi VorptiK no
Should have used stockings for the visor mesh. That is the only thing I can point out that should be changed. Everything else turned out perfect.
"Hardener"chuckles....."Big Gaping Holes"chuckles.... You're the best Chris!
+SpookyCitrus Can't tell if that's sarcasm or not.
Caelan Dawe Not sarcasm, I thought it was hilarious.
SpookyCitrus Oh.
+Caelan Dawe You're a bitch. There is literally no other way to describe you as you are as a person and who you will end up being.
Chance Reed I was asking a legitimate question. How does that make me a bitch?
Great job, you did some great work arounds i didnt think of using. Thank you.
do the red hood from arkham knight :D
You need to do more of these custom collectibles! :) You always make them so amazing!
+Turtle Neck I'm completely aware of that dude, this guy is awesome, and it was a recommendation and just that. I know personally I'd rather see wayy more of these and costume/prop set up than some other things on his channel lol

I don't even care about this helmet, but it was very informative and fun to watch. Especially the finished helmet bit at the end. LOL
These are my favorite kind of video you put out. Costumes and stuff are great and I like those ones too, but I find the DIY mod stuff a lot more interesting.
the snickers at some of the innuendos really made me laugh
awesome custom and with the lightsaber you made it will look even better!! saludos desde México!
Dude that is pretty cool! I love Kilo Ren
taking plastic surgeon to a whole new level, very awesome make over mate :D
it's awesome the best version of kylo ren's helmet
Dude that is some sick customization, I've seen the phasma, hulkbuster, lightsaber and batfleck customs and I really wish I had the time and patience to that. You also Inspired me to start working on a joker cosplay costume. keep up the amazing work!!
These are Amazing. You need to make a playlist of only these props
That's pretty spectacular! Great job!
Chris, I just love your videos, specially the custom props! And you inspire me to do a lot as well! Thanks for the amazing tips on each videos! Great work!
I Just got a steal on this helmet!! I like what you did here. Looks really good! Gonna try to use same technique....
great job filling and weathering, however, I really think you need the chrome on there.
You kept us waiting WAAAAY too long for this one mate! Keep up the great work.
+Wireblue Haha, I know I know by bad :p
+Cosplay Chris do something marvel already! Please please please!
Hey Chris, love the modifications as always! I've rewatched so many of your custom collectables videos, my personal favorite is your armored batman
Finally, a new Chris' Custom Collectables! I've been waiting for a while for a new episode!
Man this turned out so friggin awesome. Great work
Those innuendos are proper funny!
Dude I really love your customs video, they are magnificient. We need more !
"If I don't know the answer I'll just make it up" I fuckin lost it at that 😂
Using a paper towel holder in place of a head mold works amazingly for those of you who don't have access to a head mold.
Excellent tutorial and very funny video Chris! I really loved the "paint chipped away" look around the edges!! I didn't think it will end up THAT good! perfect illusion of a metal helmet under the black paint.
I hope to put in practice some of your advises soon
Greetings from Argentina!
That's Awesome! I'm enjoying the re-paints 😊

Best thing about he being australian is that he uses metric system. Thanks man. Non english/american viewers love this, buddy.
If you want that dimpled like texture I used Flex Seal spray paint. It comes out looking just like the original plus its black.
i love this chrome spray. gently mist it over a glossy black base for best results. Ultimate Mirror Chrome Aerosol Paint 3.5oz by Spaz Stix
CONGRATS ON 50k HOLY CRAP DUDE YOUR 20k WAS LIKE LAS MONTH!
Wow! Absolutely awesome!
It was at the end section when I realised you're the Australian version of Deadpool. Awesome video!
hahaha lol XD
I know this is asking a lot but, could I get a full shopping list of all the equipment I'll need to do this? this will be my first project and I really don't wanna get the wrong thing and mess up my helmet. yours is the best looking one I've seen by far.
Well done mate. That looked awesome.
GREAT VIDEO! YOU ROCK!

thank you for everything Chris
Killer job Chris!
"welcome to my channel, may God have mercy on your soul" my favourite thing a youtuber has ever said 😂
Are you going to do his clothing aswell?
I love everything about this, but if you want to keep the voice changer in, just gut the microphone from a voice changing face mask kylo ren helmet, and bold it up to the microphone slot in the black series. You have to snip some plastic off, and splice a couple wires but its super easy. I'm gonna apply the REST of these mods to mine though ^.^
dude is mad talented.
Again. Good stuff! Keep up the Good work!
I've long awaited this!
I would have suggested using a speaker cloth over the visor to eliminate of the glare of the visor itself, and replace the black backing of the faceplate you open up more ventilation and be a bit more screen accurate
wow simply amazing great job!!
it actually looks pretty cool in white
It might be because of the lighting, but the Batfleck in the background looks a lot more tan than it used to be.
+Techno Bacon I know what you mean, man. He seems to look better outside in natural lighting.
+Cosplay Chris I love how the top comment is about the Batman. But still, I've never seen such a talented and a dedicated man like you.
"Hammered" black spray paint would probably help bringing back with the texture.... maybe :)
23:30 that pose though
+Allen Jasper Zoolander, baby!!!
Cosplay Chris fuck Harley Quinn
Really great job!!! Keep up the awesome work!!
+Phil Goeken Thanks Phil :)
That helmet looks dope
That looks really good
Love this channel! It's like Art Attack for Cosplayers/Geeks/Nerds :D
Hot damn, great job, Chris!
+basti olaguera Thank you :)
So well done I always enjoy.peace.
Great video as always, Chris ! Love, love, love the helmet !!!! If I ever pick this up then I'll definitely modify it, and the lightsaber :D
i moved from Aus to Nz about 6 months ago and hearing all those birds in the background is making me miss home :/
ADD A NEW VOICE CHANGER!!!!!
I loved the kylo ren ligtsaber
Your so funny man hahahaha australia rep brother! Your so good at this and its a big help thankyou and keep it up!!!
hahaha 13:54 love that bbq stand, love your work mate keep it up your such an amazing guy and an amazing cosplayer
Another great Chris
Can you help? The putty in the holes where the buttons were keeps on 'moving' and it cracks. would puting the resin on solve this? Or would you recommend some strong, sandable mounting glue?
can you do a makeover on the hasbro's Clone trooper helmet?
2:50 With a hardener. *CGNCK*
This was fantastic
