It has a post-apocalyptic look. I like the idea of making a prop for no reason and later finding it's perfect for some purpose. Love this channel so much!!
thx !
'Safety Squints', I love it!
lol I got that from Vice Grip Garage channel
So Modeling Weekly put out a video called "5 tips for saving money as a modeller!" one of them was that you can use cellulose thinner from the hardware store as a replacement for Tamia extra thin plastic glue, that a good option for bonding polystyrene and some other plastics in the future.
Also if you want a more baroque Metabarons esq look to something like this you can get a decorative perforated metal at the hardware store (for vent covering I think) that would serve the same purpose as the round perforated plate or the granny grating.
ah cool
Harbor Freight is good for everything.
Agree!
What Darth Vader would have looked like if Roger Corman directed Star Wars. All kidding aside, great build.
hahahah
I can't wait for you to release Wakener! I can't wait to see all your great builds on screen!
soon
looks like a space samurai.
ya right :)
Harbor freight is great 👍
agree!
I’m a home haunter. Wanted to say you are inspiring me and teaching me. Hope you keep at these up. The content is great! The tips and tricks go a long away.
I can 100 % confirm the epoxy versus superglue thing. I had my Mandalorian gauntlet held together with superglue. During trooping, several bits and pieces came loose. Luckily, nothing went missing. Somebody in our group recommended using epoxy glue instead of superglue. I never heard of it before, so I googled it and got some. I now use epoxy glue for that kind of glueing, will never go back. I used Apoxy Sculpt (excellent, very tough air-drying modelling clay) a lot for statues and action figures, but if you put a little here and there, things become really heavy. So I did not use that for my armour parts. But superglue has a tendency to give in in the very worst moments.
coolo thx!
Kinda like a steam punk Vader. I can dig it
yeah i can see it
Nice draconian hatchet fighter pilot helmet 👍 Buck Rodgers space judo master
ah nice
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE ANTHONY FERRARO 😎 🎥 ABSOLUTELY ❤ THIS!!!
Another great build Anthony!! Bit of a mix of Darth Vader and a Viper pilot from Battlestar Galactica vibe!!
Yes! 100%
It looks like a futuristic fire helmet to me more industrial than military to me nice job
thx !
I like it, it's like someone tore down R2D2 and tried to make a Cylon Centurion from the parts. :D
cool thx !
Darth two D-2 technobarbarian. Love it! Inspiring!
This is awesome! Love how you try to include the UEC logo in your builds, ring together the films they're used for. Now I want to put that on some of my equipment in our starship room build
Inspired! Somehow you manage to spontaneously create what others would spend years agonizing over! Awesome!
ahha nice thx !
very good, it looks a little samurai-like 👍
i agree :)
That voice LED is cool
thx !
Nice work and a great video!
thx !
Nice one, dude. Looks very Fallout.
thx !
Hell yeah! Nice one!
thx brother
Yes my favorite builds :)
nice
Tasty work, Anthony - great job.
thx !
I discovered your channel a couple months back and was very excited to see a fresh video drop today! Keep it up!
thx !
Great build and that's a hell of a great logo for UCE
Nice! I actually dig the blue. Thought it came out well with that quilting mesh, especially around the corners of the helmet.
thx !
Lovin' what you do. I have been inspired to buy a bunch of toy guns to try and build a blaster.
Nice one! Looks like a miner helmet from some space mine deep inside of an asteroid or something. :D Really cool.
right on
I've been waiting for this video.
thx MG!
perfect timing!!!! thank you
thx !
The end result reminds me of the headgear worn by the Terran Federation (bad guys) in Blake's 7. Actually, yours looks way better, but it give off the same vibe.
gotta check it out someone else mentioned that thx !
Very nice,, you did a great job, a bit busy for my tastes, but great job never the less. I n the past few years or so, I've really gotten into junk crafting; thanks to a co-worker, I now start collecting all sorts of random bits and pieces with the idea that I might use them something down the line.
Regarding Harbor Freight, even if there isn't one nearby, you can order from them online. But, it might be cheaper to just order something similar from Amazon.
BTW, here's a technique that I like to use a lot for weathering, particularly when I want to simulate paint of finished that's been gradually rubbed off over time. What I do is , after rpiming, I spray a base coat of silver (or gold if you want the base "material" to be gold or brass), Then once you're done painting whatever color or colors you want the object to be, I'll then go over the areas that I want to look worn with a piece of 0000 steel wool. I go over it lightly and it will gradually sand away the top coat and start exposing the base coat underneath. The great thing about this technique is that it's really easy to control the amount of the amount of base coat you want showing. And, in my opinion, it gives a very realistic worn/rubbed off look to the are that you've sanded because the steel wool is fine enough that it doesn't leave any tell tale sanding marks.
Brilliant stuff, had a Blake's 7 vibe about it. We don't have Harbour Freight here in England (at least not yet anyway lol) and we do have your equivalent to the Dollar store called Poundland but they don't usually stock stuff like that and things online can be a bit expensive. Still a great job though
I was just about to say it had a distinct Blake's 7 vibe when you first held the mask to the helmet! Awesome
cool have to check that out
I did something similar back in the mask days using a paint ball helmet and skull mask... i have a couple safety helmets and a halloween gas mask mask that may need to have a comin together party... great build as usual
thx !
That's a great looking classic ScFi helmut. Your prop making skills always entertain and inform. Thanks for sharing the process .
About two weeks ago I came across those knitting squares at Hobby Lobby. I picked up two of the silver color pieces.
Not a damn clue what I'm going to make with them but I have them lol.
thx for saying
The two nubs on the forehead of the helmet give it a WW1 German Helmet vibe; very cool, and like something from the artist, Enki Bilal. Dirty Candy; like Gutter Candy.
ahh right cool thx !
I got a similar look when I kit-bashed a paint ball helmet/mask I bought from Walmart for about $10
cool!
It looks amazing!
Super cool build love the way it looks keep up the great work Anthony.
thx !

*if you ever have a need for it fragments of chainmaile can add a nice niche texture to any costume or post apocalyptic dystopian dieselpunk setting...i've used #10 split ring washers in the past and have several chains made of it using double link assembly techniques...have to be careful about not getting it near the face or eyes as the zinc oxide plating can flake off and that's not good..but there are sites that sell the premade rings and are professionally made and reliable and available in many sizes and materials*
ah nice
Hey. Found your videos looking for DIY stuff for movies. Binge watching them like my new Netflix show
Nice helmet, bro.
thx !
Great Job and video.
I wonder if anyone else caught that Public Enemy line in the beginning of the build! Keep killin it my dude love the content!
Just you :) But we know
Peoples dollar stores are fine, it’s the imagination that’s lacking.
:)
Do you ever use Barge cement? I have found it works awesome sticking things to different materials .wood plastic, metal.
Outstanding
thx !
That came out so AWESOME! you do such amazing work.
thx !
Mon I was thinking about making a mask, thanks for a good idea 👍🏽
R2 and Vader had a child lol
lol true
Nice!!!
If you ever decide to make another channel it would be awesome to call it Create Scifi Academy and it bases is what other creator's have learned from you
*hope you eventually provide a means of letting your subscribers and patrons send you items for your prop builds...even if it's only for a very limited window, i'm sure you would obtain an amazing variety of objects worthy of modification by you considerable skill set*
maybe thx for suggestion
@@createscifi *yay!!!!!!!*
Love it.
thx !
Hope you keep making these great videos forever!
me toooo
good seeing you still making awesome stuff!
i like how the lights kinda look like a mouth lit up from the inside
thx !
FYI: I just went to Walmart and they had Christmas decorations for 75% off. Spray snow $0.49 tree decorations some with flickering LEDs like the star for the top of the tree.
good stuff
They are opening up a Harbor Freight right in my area! They are dragging their feet on it though.
👍👍👍👍
Love the helmet. What are your thoughts on E-6000? I think in a lot of cases it's better than superglue although not as good as epoxy but no mixing. Think it would hold up well for your projects?
Hi, I love the final look of the hat. You made it look 'used'. What is the tool that you use to cut out the rectangles at the edge of the material called, please?
thx, and yeah sorry, I just added that tool link, but here it is -- Nibbling Tool : amzn.to/3HQswOt
You wouldn't happen to have an Amazon link to that square notch cutter thing, would you?
thx, and yeah sorry, I just added that tool link, but here it is -- Nibbling Tool : amzn.to/3HQswOt
@@createscifi I appreciate it. I think I'll pick one of those up =)
Kind of looks like the love child of Darth Vader and R2-D2 but as ever great work :-) What's the name of that notcher tool? Been looking for it in the UK, but all I can find is compressed air powered things not a hand tool?
thx, and yeah sorry, I just added that tool link, but here it is -- Nibbling Tool : amzn.to/3HQswOt
Grate build can I get where you got the voice activated led lights from plz.

Looks more like a work helmet.
👍 👍
How did you attach the plastic wire loom to the edge? hot glue?
Darth VadeR2D2
Darth R2-D2
lol
Like a junkyard cobra commander from welfare gijoes
Dude.I literally say "BASS, how low can you go?" every time. lol I guess we're from eh same generation. what do you say if you're behind a car that has the letters "KLF" on the plate
I get a bit of a Cobra Commander vibe from it too. AWESOME looking helmet!!
yeah right on
