    I found that a great way to make it loom really old and beaten, and give it a really rusty texture (like the movie) is to use a layer of thick spray paint, and cover it in fine sand while it's still tacky. Then put another few layers on top to seal it it. Worked fantastically for me, plus it lets you add scratches, dents, e.t.c. by carving it into the sand.

    Well Dax your tutorial is still going strong 15years later. I've almost finished the helmet but it's a little nose heavy at the moment, hopefully I can balance it out! Thank you so much for this!

    toyokanin - Hey thanks for the suggestion. I actually have completed the whole costume now. I bought 3 yards of a colored fabric. And cut and sewed it together with one of those $15.00 hand sewing machines lol. I had to iron on a fabric underneath to thicken it up so it wouldn't ride between legs but it came out pretty good. I know one thing I will never sew again lol. Not for me

  • @Dax79

    I would recommend TV boxes as your cardboard. Its smooth and strong.
    Polyfilla is a paste that drys solid. You use it on walls so just find a filler!

    i'm trying this stuff from Sears called vinyl spackling in a red tube . it looks identical to polyfilla but i havent tried it yet but i'll let you know.
    polyfilla is a similar deviation from spackling paste which can be found in most hardware stores. just make sure the stuff can be sanded and is flexible and paintable & it should be ok.

    I need advice about caulk for filling in pyramid head. I live in America so i don't have polyfilla, so i was looking for an alternative here. I found a bathroom and kitchen caulk, it's not waterproof and it says on the front it's paintable, will this work for smoothing out the cracks in my Phead? When we do the trim around the Phead, how many layers of trim total? I thought i saw you add 2 layers of trim over the initial front triangle pieces but my fiancee thinks it's 3 layers.

    I'm hoping to be Pyramid Head for Halloween this year (I know it's a bit early to be thinking about that, but I have a lot of free time on my hands so I might as well start planning ahead) so this is gonna be very useful when I start working on it! Even if plans change and I decide to be someone else like Michael Myers or Ghost Face, I can still use this for cosplay purposes.

    • @Dax79
      @Dax79  4 года назад

      Definitely NOT too early. I notice an influx of hits a month before Halloween and I get lots of messages of people panicking trying to get it right before the big day.

    I work in a department store, and we get some big sturdy boxes in from things like toilet paper or cereal, but I could probably only get the proper length if I broke a box down and flattened it out. So let's say the cardboard has a fold in it, due to top or side edges. Would it work out well if this were the case?

    Hey there Dax! I recently got to collecting materials to creating my own helmet, and a friend of mine recommended trying foam board instead of card board. I checked it out, its quite smooth and rigid but I just wanted to make sure. Would you recommend me trying foam board? or do you have another sturdy material recommendation I can try?

    @YouLoveInsomnia 17 лет назад

    Dax. This might be an odd question, but, how tall are you?
    The largest pieces of cardboard I've found are 36" (91.4 cm) long, so I had to cut it a little short. I'm only 5'7" (around 1.7m), and I think it wouldn't make too much of a difference size wise.

  • @Dax79
    @Dax79  16 лет назад

    Do you mean the back? or front? The front are large, the back are smaller, left to right are all the same.
    Remember that the the back triangle has a cut down it (the middle) just enough to bent the cardboard. Some people just cut then out I have noticed and stuck then together.

    Ahh well thats fair enough I guess. And true to be fair, Ive seen that people who attempt to make the SH2 helmet have a box like hole in the front to see through, not has hand as having two large meshes in each side. This is where we differ, I didn't like the movie one. It took away the creepiest thing about him, being when he used to hold onto the helmet with one hand and do that psychic scanning thing with the other. Thanks for the reply though :)

  • @KakashiKun94

I don't have anything started yet, I'm trying to make some kind of blueprint, the two front panels' angles are 36, 115 and 29 right ? what about the panels in the back ? I only see you make two, but it seems like there are four. Do you cut them in half ? also, I don't think I've had the dimension right for the back panels. I don't want to ask too much, but could you make some blueprint using paint ? It would help alot of us.Good job!
