An Obi wan lightsaber would be nice
You can make Lola, Leia's little droid.
You could make a inquisitor lightsaber
Grogu needs his pram. Would love to see the two pieces together.
@@luisorozco1289 Cool idea Luis, I'll look into it ;)
OH MY GOODNESS!!! It looks so good! My Dad is a huge Star Wars fan, so I might try to make this for him down the line. Very nice work!
Glad to hear that Chappie!
Nice build.....
I wish you make something from pirates of the carribbean.....
Just like the Jack sparrow's compass....
Black beard's sword.....
And aqua devida's those glasses.....
And many things are there....
Well it's your channel and I know it is not easy task to make such props but I hope you will try to make one or more from pirates of the carribbean...
I take your requests into account Phenominal gamers, I'll think about them, but as you said it is not an easy task to choose the props I'm gonna make 😅
@@EpicCardboardProps well I know it's not easy to select props but try to understand my feelings regards these props well they are not difficult to make.....
You must see them once...
I love the way this video is edited, this styles works great for your channel. The helmet also looks amazing, I love all the details!
Glad you like it Ben! :)
Amazing as always! Was hoping you had this in the works, and you didn't disappoint. Going to have to grab the templates now.
Glad you like it LARSON! Indeed it's been a while that I wanted to make that one, I'm glad I was able to make it eventually! :)
I am over the moon with this prop!!! Amazing!!! I have wanted you to make this prop for a very long time. Excellent my friend. I wish I could build this one, but my hands don't work well anymore so I am living vicariously through your videos. This has to be my favorite one yet. Thanks for your great work.
Thanks for the kind words Kevin! I'm glad you are enjoying my videos! :)
Bro can you make
Iron spiderman
Mask
This is legit thank you so much I've been waiting so long!!
The level of detail is absolutely insane and I love it. Incredible work!!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
INCREDIBLE :-) I really love your intros :D
Thank you so much Erik 😀 it was a lot of fun to do that one! 😄
Darth Vader is one of my favorite villains 😊
The force is intense in You Master!!!!!
Absolutely incredible!!!!!
Thank you Luis!!
hi rafael your videos are very good and i want to make them too, where can i find the templates for free?
Nice work on the helmet. I love how it connects! Maybe one day you could make a Knight of Ren helmet from the Rise of Skywalker to add to the collection?
It would be a great one to make I agree! I'll think about it thanks for the idea ;)
I love their helmets, wish they were used more.
Yo this is sick been waiting for a long time! May the force be with u!
Glad you enjoyed it Shayane! May the force be with you! :)
YES! I love your props and you make the best templates! Thank you for this
Glad you like them Elijah! 😊
YESSS! Ive been hoping you'd make one for Vader for so long!
THAT INTRO WAS ON POINT! Bravo mate!
I have a few ideas for projects you could do!
• Peter Parker Web shooters
• Land Speeder
• face hugger
• Clone trooper helmet
• The DeLorean (Back to the Future)
• Starship enterprise (Star Trek)
• Lightsabers
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestions too, I'll think about them :)
Ive been waiting for this tutorial.
THE ENTRO WAS GOLD!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!! :)
I bought this template and would like to use the svg file to cut using my cricut. What size should I cut the pieces out? I noticed they didnt upload into design space at the correct size..
The templates and the SVG files are in life size so you have to print or cut them at 100% of the scale for you to get the pieces at the right size. But of course feel free to lower or higher that percentage if you want to make the helmet smaller or bigger ;)
It looks so good thanks for making this video I have been waiting for to make this helmet I wanted to make a darth Vader helmet but I didn’t know how I could make and your video really helped
Glad I could help Steven! 🙂
Ohh! Finally it came! Thanks for making it ,Raphael
My pleasure Neeraj!! :)
Love the new video and studio set up , looks like you have gone up a level !!
Thanks! Glad you think so! 🙂
How would you go from the cardboard paper mache to a painted finished look? Spray paint? Acrylic? Do you sand it? Heavily clear coat?
Spray can or acrylic both will work very well, as long as you're not using a heavily water based one, you're good to paint the helmet directly on the modelling paste, (no paper mache in that case) I've done it several times, like for my new Mandalorian helmet, or my Bokatan helmet. You'll find these tutorials on my channel too. Just be careful to remove as much imperfection from the modeling paste as you can while sanding it as it matters more here than with the paper mache technique.
This is amazing.But if you reshape the parts under the eyes i think you will get a more accurate prop but aside from that it is an amazing build. Keep it up!:)
I love that you have made this template for a non-creative person such as myself. I purchased the template because I wanted to make it for a cosplay and was wondering if this was able to be painted, and if so, would I need to take any different or additional steps?
Thank you! Yes of course you have to print them, that's the way they work 🙂 in the templates folder you downloaded there is a text file named "Read Me" that explains how and a few other important things, don't hesitate to have a look at it as it is primordial for you to start the build on the right foot. Also don't forget that while you get many additional instructions on the templates, it is also required to follow all instructions from that tutorial video, both are necessary for you to achieve that build with the best result possible.🙂
@@EpicCardboardProps I think you misunderstood my question; I was wondering if it were possible add color by painting it, and if so at which step would you recommend, and would anything need to be changed or added? Thanks in advance for your response.
🤩🤩🤩Great work
Thanks 🤗
That is totally wicked!
Thank you Jodi! 😊
The force is strong with this one
another flawless prop, this is so good
Thank you Jake!
Love this! Will have to try it. I would love to also see a tutorial for Luke's Rebel Pilot Helmet? That one would be so fun to build!
Glad you like it Jennifer! And thanks for the suggestion too! I'll think about it :)
How do you come up with the pattern to make things like this?
Creating these templates is in fact the actual build like 70% of the job, the tutorial videos are just the tip of the iceberg where I show you how to assemble the pieces so that's not a question I can answer to in a few sentences in the comments, it's a very complicated process that involves my experience with cardboard and several professional softwares, like blender, illustrator, photoshop.... If I could explain that in an easy way, I would have done it in the videos already! But maybe I will make a series of video one day where I show you how to make them, I still have to figure out how though.
for the lenses you could also use the circular disposable cup lids and also could you make a tutorial on how to make Vader's armor
Maybe Darth Vader, I'll think about it 😉
what an amazing job👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful
Thank you!!!
Now THIS is purely awesome
Thank you!!!
Great work as always
Thanks again!
Can the same black paper you used for the Batman mask be used to cover the Darth Vader helmet instead of thin Amazon paper? 9:52
Yes of course :)
Darth vadar (anakin Skywalker) is my favorite character in star wars series awesome
Definitely one of my favourite too!
Tis is amazing you have talent
Thank you @6810historynerd! I do appreciate it
This is really amazing!!🎉 I was wondering when/how you would add color
Thank you! Well painting the props is not really a thing on my channel as in my opinion cardboard is not ideal for paint jobs. But if you want to paint it I recommend you to use acrylic paint as it is a thick and opaque type of paint as opposed to water based paint that will soak the cardboard leading to very poor result 😉
Finally! I love it.
Thank you!
I would also like it if you made the rest of Darth Vader's armor just like you did mandalorian I would greatly appreciate it because I'm thinking of being Darth Vader for Halloween and I always like to impress everybody
I'll think about it Tyler thanks for the suggestion! :)
wow the details are amazing I have been waiting ages for this one to arrive lol again you have do e an amazing job
Thank you so much Tony 😀 Glad you like it!
@@EpicCardboardProps seriously I have seen a few of these darth vaders and there is one other that is amazing I have got the templates already l can't wait to start this one but I have loads before tondo plus I have to wait to buy some paste lol got magnets and the rest oh an cardboard lol but thank you so much youbreally have kept my mind of off a lot of things in my life and I thank you for that
@@tonyd437 Thanks you so much for these kind words Tony, it means a lot for me! 🙏🙏
what type of knife do you use?
A precision knife (or exacto blade) 🙂
Hello Raphael, excellent replica of the helmet, it has all its details, a good accessory for cosplay.
Thank you Diego! I appreciate that :)
How long should the piece that makes the bottom part of the triangle on the mouth-vent be? I don't see that in the tutorial anywhere.
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my tutorial. If you're looking for measurements, you won't find them because I've designed the templates to be printed at 100% scale, which means they're life-sized. In the folder you've downloaded, there's a file called "read it" that contains all the essential information. I also explain the first steps in my tutorial videos.
So I intentionally don't provide precise measurements as achieving this level of accuracy with measurements precise to the millimetter would be a nightmare to implement. Instead, I recommend using the templates as they are and following the visual guides and instructions provided. It'll make the process more manageable and ensure a great result. Enjoy crafting! 😊📏✂️
@@EpicCardboardProps sorry, the information I need isn't in that PDF or in the tutorial video.
@@AnthonyBissell Oh sorry, It seems there was a bit of confusion, I thought you were talking about another part of the helmet, my mistake. Regarding that specific piece of the helmet, and in general when there are no templates or sizing mentioned in the video, it means that the size doesn't matter much. In that case you can approach it by cutting the piece a bit longer than you anticipate needing. Then, simply position it at the bottom of the triangle on the mouth section, and you can visually determine what needs to be trimmed to fit perfectly. It's all about customizing it to suit your unique project. If you have any more questions or run into any issues, feel free to ask. Happy crafting! 😊📐✂
I was LITERALLY JUST THINKING YESTERDAY THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE DARTH VADERS HELMET GOSH IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!
Thank you so much Eric!!
THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD DUDE! I CAN'T PURCHASE ONE CAUSE I DONT HAVE ENOUGH ALLOWANCE AND MY PARENTS ARENT LETTING ME BUY ONE CAUSE I ALREADY BOUGHT SOME IN GAME CURRENCE. I HAVEN'T MADE ONE HELMET BUT THIS VIDEO SURE AS HELL HELPED WE. WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH MATERIALS I WILL SURELY MAKE THIS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO👍.
YOU ALSO EARNED A SUB AND A LIKE!
I was wondering how many cans of modeling paste u need
Wow you don't need that much haha with the 946ml size I could do that build like 8 times! ;)
this guy is a god no doubt about it
you can also coverit in spackle and paint it
You could indeed ;)
Can you make phase 2 clone trooper helmet?
Maybe Laiskamato, I'll think about it 😉
Excelente trabajo Raphael 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
Thank You very much. You are amazing 😃
You're welcome 😊
This is the best thing you have made!! I love it!! ❤️❤️
I'm glad you like it!
@@EpicCardboardProps nooooo, everything you make is the best.. but the craziest thing is probably this or the millennium falcon
Where do I get templates for this
You'll find all of my templates to make this build in my shop in the description box below the video 😉
Do you have head sizing info for your templates?
I have, actually there is a text file name "Read Me" that you download with the templates that explain how to do it, but basically to do so you just have to divide the circumference of your head (above the eyes) by mine which is 23 inches, that's gonna give you a decimal number like 0,86 for instance, and that is the percentage you have to print the templates out from your computer to make it a perfect fit for your head, in this case you would have to print them out at 86% of the original size 😉
Thanks!
Where can I get the parts to print up on my printer please ?
You'll find all of my templates to do this build in my shop in the description box below the video 😉
My god man. This is without a doubt the best prop I have ever seen!!!
Thank you Rohan! Glad you like it! 🙂
comme toujours... un excellent travail je vous félicite, j'ai adoré votre vidéo, le skecth du début était super 😍👍
Merci beaucoup Mileva !! C'est gentil ! 🙂
Hey props, can yoy make a video on how do you make the templates so that we could also become a creaters like you
Well you have to know that it is very difficult to explain how! Creating these templates is in fact the actual build like 70% of the job, the tutorial videos are just the tip of the iceberg where I show you how to assemble the pieces. So I will explain how I make these templates in several videos where I would details the process using tricky softwares and such, but I'm not sure how to do that yet. Maybe I will make a series of video one day where I show you how to make them, but as I said don't expect a single quick 20 minutes tutorial video 😅
Thanks for this
Can this be painted and worn or will it fall apart?
It can be worn of course, that's the all point of this tutorial :) if you want to paint it I recommend you to use acrylic paint though as it is a thick and opaque type of paint as opposed to water based paint that will soak the cardboard leading to very poor result 😉
I am a brand new star wars fan and I MUST do Darth Vader for Halloween this year! Do you think this helmet would hold up for Halloween night?
Of course, if you complete the mask following all steps shown in this tutorial, that helmet will last many years! 🙂
That being said at the end of the day it's still cardboard... while it is surprisingly very sturdy, if you throw it repetitively against a brick wall it will break at some point, but that's common sense I think haha
Dang, that is cool, I wanna make it, but it required magnets and they cost a lot. Is there any other way to attach them without the use of magnets?
You could try with velcro, it should work pretty well I think :)
Wow I love it 😍❤️
Thank you! 😊
Thats awesome, Thanks a buch for this mate u no im a massive fan and iv built quite alot of your builds, could u please make luke skywalkers xwing helmet that would be really cool, or even a model delorean, but as always your talent is showing through Raph, well done my brother
Glad you like it!! And thanks for the suggestions I'll think about them :)
My God, it was amazing!! good as Palpatine would say, Gooooooood
Haha thank you Lucas!!
You are amazing 🤩
Dude can you make captain America wakanda shield which captain America used in Avenger Infinity war.I had watching your videos when you have 10k subscribers. Love you brother
Maybe Ashish Bajaj, I'll think about it, thanks for the idea! 😉
I have a new craft suggestion, idk if it's possible but, Vi's Atlas Gauntlets from league of legends or in Arcane
Sorry Parzival Alchema but it has to be from a movie or a TV show for it to be aligned with the topic of this channel. But maybe one day when they'll make a movie from it! Hollywood does that a lot, so you never know 😉
Suuuperb its really real awesome
Thank you so much 😀
Super Travail vraiment beaucoup de détail etc... Bien jouer 👍🏻
Merci Nolan ! :)
oh great work keep it up bro you have all my support please do the

Is there gonna be a Darth revan helmet in future videos ?
Thanks! Well it's not planned for now but I'll think about it thanks for the idea Red studio
Can you make a clone trooper helmet fron star wars??
Maybe Andre, I'll think about it :)
Hi, I am a huge fan of your great work!!! Could you create a '' ODM gear '' from attack on titan(anime)!!! Please and thank you.
Great job.. Love and respect from Türkiye!

Thank you! And thanks for the idea, I'll think about it.
i just purchased this one .ty.
Glad to hear it Gary Ballancore!! Don't hesitate to ask me you have any questions while you work on it, I'm always there to help!
@@EpicCardboardProps ty im starting off with this one at the moment as im alread on another project knight rider voice box kitt
I want to know how often you clean dust from your props 😅😅
Lol not often enough! I have so many of them at this point
Can you create the space ship of mandalorian please ??
Yes
You should make a v47 flatliner. It is a really cool gun from a game called titan fall and it is also in apex legends. It would look so cool.
Hey Alex, thanks for dropping by and suggesting the V47 Flatliner from Titanfall and Apex Legends! I have to admit, it does sound like a really cool gun. But here's the thing: my channel is mostly focused on movies and TV shows, so I don't usually make things from games. The sunglasses I made from Apex Legends were a fun exception! However, I appreciate your enthusiasm, and who knows, maybe one day I'll surprise everyone with a movie-inspired creation that includes a cool futuristic gun like the V47 Flatliner. Until then, stay tuned for more movie and TV show magic! 🎥🍿
@@EpicCardboardProps yep. Ok. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah. Ok. Cool. Sorry. That’s my bad
You can probably use some gloss spray paint to make it shiny too
You could indeed :)
Do indoraptor head pls
Best intro ever!!!
Haha thank you! I had a lot of fun making it 😂
I've never been a guy using templates but now i cant resist to get the templates (by the time all of you have probably read this i will have bought the templates. edit: with the lenses i might use sunglasses lenses.
Glad to hear that Aviation playz, I hope you'll have fun making it! :)
@@EpicCardboardProps Thanks i will
Looks great, not perfect mainly just slightly off looking face, mainly the angle is all, but close, and the small details are amazing. Literally better than things like Blacks Series helmet, and some props. Great work!
Thanks!
can you make batrman cowl?
Maybe Pepper craft, I'll think about it 😉
what type of magnets do you use on it?
You'll find the complete list of everything I use in the tutorial in the description box below this video ;)
Thank you
@@twiggy-inc You're welcome!
the intro is incredible
Thank you!! :)
Please, make The Death Trooper Helmet, from Rougue One !
I take your request into account Ruconsolero, I'll think about it 😉
Best prop ever! Its gonna be my next build after moon knight helmet!
Awesome! Can't wait to see how yours will turn out to be :)
@@EpicCardboardProps thanks. The opening scene in this video is out of this world! I think this is your best prop to date!
Can you pliz do the termineter body
Making the entire terminator endoskeleton would be a tremendous job Arnoldo Lopez! Like a year even more and I try to publish 2 tutorials a month... So I can't, but maybe in the long run one piece at a time, I'll think about it 😉
Lesssss gooooo i have been waiting for this tutorial for a long long time
Hope you like it Rahul! :)
Yep I enjoy watching your videos
I had tried to make stormbreaker but it didn't last long
@@rahulvikram7448 Why is that?

Oh that's nice, thank you Dj Stumpy, I'm glad you like that video that much!
Cool! I love the I hate you T. rex. Also great video!
Haha thanks! :)
