This is really cool! Things I would have done different: A. Colors of my own choice. B. Tiny motor to move range finder up and down controlled from wrist mounted switch. C. Silver for the view T opening so my bounty/victim was looking at themselves like a mirror. Your results are awesome and I like the using salt ideal.
"I like to add more a little at a time... until I realize, CRAP, I've gone too far... and try to undo it... and that's when I stop." I believe this is what the technique is called. Sure, it's a long name, but EVERY maker uses it. I know I do. And anyone who says they don't is a liar. 😁
I can't read every comment but I'm sure someone has chummed in and told you that is not actual Bondo product that you need but Bondo is a company name. That is a plastic filler for small imperfections and it may work for you actually in this but regular Bondo is one part filler one part hardener and we'll get hot as it's a chemical process this is used for feeling bigger areas like the dent in the helmet and dries a lot faster than the stuff you're using there. overall overall though looks really good and I like the voice over a lot!
I’ve found a much easier way to remove the visor; simply score the outer edge of the “glass” with a hobby knife. Then tap the edges of the visor with a blunt object, like a small hammer or the bottom end of your knife. Then just sand down the remaining shards and you’re good to go
That crackling effect from the paint is called orange peel or a similar result from not allowing the paint below to dry for at least 3-5 days this turned out epic though great job!
The only thing I’d say is you should use body filler instead of spot putty on big gaps. Spot putty is fine for pinholes but won’t dry all the way through or take forever on big gaps and is more prone to cracking.
So the hairspray technique doesn't need the salt really. You can just apply a coat of hairspray and then paint and later use water to remover the hairspray with a stiff brush. Not sure how well it works with lacquer paint but it's perfect for acrylics
Your videos have inspired me to do my own bucket! I plan on doing the fett helmet from his first appearence on The Mandalorian, the paint mostly eaten away by the acid in the sarlacc. Thanks for showing the dimensions for the replacement stalk, thats going to be a huge help when I do mine in tinkercad.
@@daveofalltrades805 Update on my build, I need a new rangefinder ear. Set the parts on the bed, the family dog got a hold of it. Currently trying to model a replacement for the piece that connects the right ear to the helmet. Needless to say, I have hit a roadblock until i can find a solution. Do you think a pre-modeled version of the entire rangefinder assembly would fit? It seems like a better option considering their is no way to get a actual spare.

I'm not sure how the rules work when returning items to a store but I do know that if the returned item doesn't have a defect it is returned to the shelf after a glance over by the person working in returns so this brings me to my question, how cool would it be to purchase this helmet, take it home and give it the "Dave of all Trades" work over and then place it back into the box and return it to the store to be placed back on the shelf along side the others and wait for someone to purchase it only to find a Super Bad Ass Helmet replacing the factory one, I can see it now.

Love your videos and ideas. I would love to find a decent voice changer. Which one are you using for your videos ? Brand please. Also. Your salt idea is fantastic and easy to use. I have used toothpaste. That’s super easy also. Ps I’m going to use your heating idea for my new T visor. Update. Saw you have the voice changer in your list. Ty !!
This is really well done, looks brilliant. Scale wise how does it size up next to the Black Series helmet? Couldn't quite see from the video. I got the Prototype Black Series helmet and I could swear it feels slightly larger but wasn't sure. Love the voice over, too. Keep up the great videos!
I’ve got that prototype black series in my queue too! I’m really looking forward to it. They seem really similar- Rubies has a flatter dome and a thinner right ear cap. Deeper cheeks and a more pronounced crease between cheek-top and cheek-back. I can upload a few side-by-side photos and put a link
@@daveofalltrades805 I really like the prototype version - I know some people have issues with the battle damage which is fair but it doesn't bother me. Would love to see side-by-side shots - really appreciate your time for the reply. Cheers!
Looks incredible! If you don’t mind me asking, what did you do to get that dirty look into the cracks and crevices for the last step? I’m in the process of printing my own helmet and that’s the only step I haven’t figured out
instead of watering the acrylic (regular cheap craft paint) down into a wash i just rubbed it on with a sock. takes some getting used to, so i try to remember to start on the back of the helmet. if you don't like it, or you do too much, you can pull it back with some water pretty easily
How robust are these. I have a jango two piece and it's very flimsy. Need to reinforce it? Are they worth the 70 bucks they go for now? Could use your advice. Your paint work is amazing
I really enjoyed this video im surprised you don't have alot of subs can i ask a question how do you do voice overs and what microphone do you use hv a nice day
Thanks bud! I use a Blue Yeti. For the voice effect I put on a voice amplifier www.amazon.com/dp/B071YVHLRP/ put on a helmet, and point the speaker at the mic.
Thats Awesome. I love how you use the voice changer. This video helps me a lot with my own helmet. I try to do it with foam from scratch ^^'.... might try your way. Keep up the good work.
They are really hard to find at the moment- I think certain events (spoilers) in The Mandalorian season 2 may have skyrocketed demand. I saw one on eBay but as an auction you never know where that price will end up. I’d say they’ll be back soon though - they’d be idiots not to ramp up production with the current popularity
www.amazon.com/Rubies-Mens-Star-Wars-shown/dp/B01BLTAGQG/ For the helmet itself. When I got it, it was $40 though - I'd keep a weather eye open for that to go back down.
If you're going for it, remember that most things are reversible - try things out and have fun. And if you want to try out color schemes before deciding, have you checked out the Mando Maker over at zammap.com by artist Pamela Mazurkevich? Great resource
Awesome dude you need to be recognized i hope you get big and if you ever need some mando design ideas like colors or battle damage I have some concepts

You know what's metal? Building a beskar helmet, while having your voice distortionned, and with metal background music. THAT'S metal
That salt method yields the most realistic weathering I’ve seen 👍 Thanks man
I like it too. Very cool look
that badass voice effect.......those horrendous puns.........such dissonance....!
awesome paint job lol, that salt trick worked really well
the use of the voice amp is what made the video
He sounds like Mando! That's AWESOME!
Cal has spoken.
Really digging that paint scheme. Well done.
Well looks like I’m ordering one of these for my future project instead of getting a black series that I might screw up
I like the way you say Bondo hehe
Also you made the weathering so much better compared to the cheap paint streaks on before!
Thanks! “Bondo.”

Great job on that helmet. I definitely like that the salt gave it that effect, will have to try it.
