MAKING A VIKING HELMET
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Ben Eadie asked if I could build something with his new product line of scalemail for a kick starter he is about to launch. And of course I said challenge accepted. This is what I came up with, a custom Viking Helmet made from: 6 mm, 4 mm, and 2 mm EVA, Ben Eadie's EVA foam chainmail and scalemail, contact cement, hot glue, super glue, Plasti Dip, spray paint, acrylic paint pens, and some Plaid FX acrylic paints. You may also need the following tools: heat gun, wood burner, a Dremel with various bits, and xacto knife or box cutter.

Wow!!! Early delivery!!! Loved it
This build has been in the works for a while now and excited to release it to help Ben launch his Kickstarter. Wait til you see next week's. 😁
Nice that mail stuff looks great!
It is. Ben Eadie's mail will up the awesome factor of a build. You should check out his Kickstarter, links in the description.
You are indeed a wizard!
LOL. Thanks.
Now, that’s a helmet!!! Great work!!! 👍
Thanks! 👍 Glad you like it
Wow game changer!!! Great job buddy
It really is, super light weight. Would be great for armor on stage productions. Doesn't take long to string together, can be painted and still moves freely.
Looks awesome!!!
Thanks 😁👊
This is beautiful, Thomas!!!!
Thanks so much. I really like how it turned out. And this maybe my favorite thumbnail I have ever edited together.
One thing about fact number 9:
Skadi is actually the goddess of Winter, bowhunting and skiing. Ullr is just good at these things, but he is not a god of them ;)
Besides that, this is amazing! Great job, man.
Ok thanks. Must have got things mixed up when I was looking at facts for the video. Glad you liked the build.
@@MuchProps No worries, man! You should read up about how crazy Norse mythology is. It's some of the coolest mythology, in my opinion.
Thomas that is awesome looks great. I think your wife knows the light cover is missing great job again.
LOL. She would never know, if I would just stop snitching on myself in these videos.
Well once again you have smashed it out of the park and Ben is one smart man and love his chain mail and now the scale mail is truly amazing
😁👊 he is a pretty smart guy. Was glad to get my hands on the scalemail and I have several more builds using it, coming soon
ah saw it on insta...this looks great :-) now i know what chainmail you ment :-)
Stuff looks legit and make it much easier. I've never been disappointed when I use it in a build
I LOVED the change at the end from your kids going "Yaaay!" to all of the Nordlings shouting "AAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!" Solid touch, my friend, and amazing build as always. :)
LOL. I really like this helmet. Hopefully the person who owns it know will too.
@@MuchProps I did see a cheeky little one-frame image of who you said you were sending it to. But don't worry, I can keep your secret. Haha.
@@Legotrocity666 😁🤫👊
This is awesome Thomas. I would like to see more viking builds.
Thanks. Glad you liked it. I plan on making some more things from the Viking era.
Keep up the good work, your an insperation.
I appreciate that! Will do
Can’t wait to make this! Looking forward to the template.
Would love to see it. Template is in the description, have fun with it 😁👊
Awesome helmet, amazing work! And thank you for a Sutton Hoo'esque look that does not have horns.
Another Viking fun fact for you - contrary to popular myth, Vikings were not major drinkers of mead, at least not in arctic climes, where bees were not dominant. Instead, they would drink fermented milk that had been sewn into a sheep's stomach and buried underground until it matured.
Thanks for the info! They were a pretty interesting group of people.
Wow this is so cool it could come from a museum those paint pens look quite handy aswell great job👊🏻🤘🏻
I don't know about a museum but it turned out pretty cool. Those paint pens are pretty handy. I can hold a pen a lot steadier than a brush. And you don't have to constantly reload the tip like you do a brush
Fantastic work! I saw the Adam savage video on another page, found this link on the kickstarter page. PLEASE remind builders to use decent ventilation and skin protection while gluing and painting. Allow sufficient time to off gas the barge and plasti-dip.
Glad you like the build. Thanks for the suggestions.
My dear Thomas : your viking skills are epic! Thor and all Valhala are screaming victory to you dwarf foam forge maker! Rus!
Thanks so much. I really love how it turned out and some exciting things are happening from this build.
Much Props Thomas is seriouly: you inspired to me!
I love what you did with Ben's maille! You have such an eye for detail.
Thanks. I got some more plans in the works with Ben's scalemail.
I am so happy you are getting more exposure! I'm sure with A.S. chanel, you'll get more subs! Congrats man! This Chanel is awesome!
Thanks man. I would love to have tons of subs but honestly just helping people be creative makes all the hours I put in worth it. Thanks for the positivity
Just saw this over at Tested and my god, what a gorgeous build! Very impressive! 🙌
Thanks. It was a fun one to piece together.
I know this is 2 yeas old but a amazing build 👊🏻👍
I do my best to respond to comments, so even thought it is 2 years old... thanks. :)
Thats an awesome build. Reminds me of taking an arrow to the knee...lol
Thanks. I was once an adventure like you... those guards say some pretty funny things.
I am so damned happy that Adam shared your video and product. I'm a bit late to the kickstarter, but I look forward to making some Feanarion armour with this.
It still blows my mind to think Savage has one of my builds. Ben Eadie and Stephanie Chan have an amazing product and I was just glad that they let be a small part of their Kickstarter.
Dude, could you get any more awesome? Love the channel, love the builds and the way you explain making them. Thanks for sharing!
Comments like this keep me motivated and so humbled. Thanks for watching, commenting and spreading the positivity. 😁👊
Thomas the Red!!!.. awesome helmet. It would go good with the meads I make
😁👊 was listening to some epic viking music lately, was really feeling this build. Might need to keep letting my hair grow and get some scalp tattoos, LOL. My teaching job probably wouldn't go for that
adam savage? very nice :-)
😉👊
Perfect timing on the video as I had just received the email about the kickstater. I was excited to see some of the pledge levels have masks/helmets made by you. Big question is are those masks sized at 100%? I only ask because they would be just a tad big large to actually wear were I to pledge at those levels.
I believe I sized them to fit me when making them. So they would be a bit large for the normal person. Dang this giant cranium. LOL. I've been holding this build back for a while, waiting on the Kickstart to go live. SO pumped Eadie included me in on it. Truly humbled.
Hey just saw this helmet on Adam Savage congrats man it a great helmet👊🏻🤘🏻
I'm never smiled so hard in my life. Almost burst into tears. So humbled and honored. What a legend. 😁👊 thanks.
Super cool as usual bro!
Question: whats the diameter (across) of a single 'ring' on the chain mail? 1/4 inch?
They are 1/2 inch rings
@@MuchProps thanks buddy!
Ben shared the link for the files to have them laser cut.
What a cool guy!
@@gsgidney he is a pretty awesome, generous guy.
@@MuchProps indeed.
Hey bud, if you're up to the challenge...
Can you make a Gandalf hat?
Id like to see your take on this one.
Sure, there a video by this guy, but I'd like to see how YOU do it 😉

Half of my family is Norris. I am descendant from Vikings. I thank you for your Viking knowledge & tutorial.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and all your positivity
Excellent helmet. I could not find the link to the template.
It's in the description below the video at the very bottom
I only just recently found your channel, but it’s awesome. I made this helmet out of cardboard cause I can’t afford EVA foam lol but I’m making a cosplay for the new lotr animated movie coming out. Next month 🔥🫡
I'm glad you found me and my content could be helpful to you. Good luck on your LOTR cosplay. I've got tons of stuff running the gambit of different armor and weapons that could easily be modified to fit your needs. Go over to the playlists and check out some of the categories.
Love it very much ! Cheers from Belgium.
Thanks very much! A big howdy from Texas.
This helmet is glorious. I tried clicking some of the links though and they don't seem to work?
thanks. What link doesn't work?
@@MuchProps Amazon affiliate link goes to Amazon but says "Sorry we couldn't find that page", the Etsy link just goes to the homepage of Etsy, same basic problem for the Facebook, Insta and Twitter links.
do you go to the cloud district often?
My cousin's out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Guard duty.
He's the blacksmith.. Does not leave his foam forge very often :)
✊💯 *MuchProps* 💯✊
💪😃✊
😁👊
qustion where did you get that drangon?
I poured hot glue into an Evil Ted Cosmold
Do you think I could adapt this helmet for a Rohirrim cosplay? I want to do a Rohirrim cosplay for the upcoming War of the Rohirrim anime movie. But it was surprisingly hard to find a suitable template to make this helmet from.
I wouldn't see why not. That base of the helmet could be used for tons of stuff. Modify the mess out of it and let me know how it goes
You could also use this template to make a skyrim guard helmet if you don't have large plastic easter eggs like the guard helmet video
Totally true. The egg I used in the video for that one is the same size I made a template off of for this one. I will upload the template tomorrow for it.
Looks like the link to the template is down. Any way I can get it??
I will try and fix it when I get home from work tonight. I had to move all my patterns because Adobe discontinued file sharing on Creative Cloud. Guess I missed this one.
@@MuchProps thanks! I'd appreciate it. Great work!
There ya go. It is up.
How do you get a template for this helmet?
Last link down in the description below the video
Thomas. Another of my fave builds ! That looks flipping excellent. I am always too scared to try and cut the detailed inlays but might have a go with this inspirational template. Mine is going to be different size as I have an idea to make it fit over a horse-riding helmet for my daughter.
I’m also trying to figure out how to make a face guard for her horse to match it. In a Rohan style of course. Wish me luck and would love to see your take on the horse armour idea? Keep safe !
Those overlays can be tedious but well worth the details they add. You can do as much of the shaping before gluing it down, that way is you mess up it does ruin your helmet. If your horse is well tempered you can pull a template off of them. I did a video a while back where I made dog armor from Fallout for my chiwinnie.
No template?
It's coming, I had to go out of town today so it will be up later.
Update: I uploaded it last night when I got back. Have fun with it
YES, THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU FOR THE NON VICTORIAN VIKING GOOD SIR
LOL, while I do like a good horned helmet, not exactly accurate to call it a Viking helmet. Not saying mine is %100 accurate piece either but I definitely like the style.
Gonna go pillage a village, burning the earnings, so to speak. ;)
I thought you would like that line, literally made that outro up on the first go and it just popped into my head. LOL. Did you see my subliminal image at the end of who it is going to?
@@MuchProps Lol check your discord
How much would this cost for you to make one for me
I don't do commissions. This one is currently owned by one of my prop making icons.
for valhalla
😁✊👊
Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll
LOL. I used to be an adventurer like you...
Get in touch with me please. I have a amon armoth and ghost concert coming in Aug. I'm sure you know who they R. Bad ass viking metal band. I'd love to have one of them helms to wear to the concert with my armor and shield and garb I use in the sca fights. Will you make one for me and sale it to me. I'd so for ever be happy as hell if so. Lol.
Sorry, I don't really do commission work. I am a full time teacher by day and do RUclips/making at night, which doesn't leave me with a lot of spare time to do custom orders. But there is a free template linked in the description of this video if you want to try and build your own.
Looks very near accurate Thomas... now you need to make thor's helmet from ragnorok
Thanks. Not a lot of the viking armor survived, probably due to boat fire funerals but they were an interesting group in history.
@@MuchProps yea, i think so too.. i actually think that anyone who is of norse or Scandinavian bloodline could have a viking in their closet as well. Like my ancestors.
