- In this video, I document the molding of my Star Wars the Old Republic Mandalorian Warrior-inspired helmet. The helmet master was CAD modelled, 3D printed, assembled, and cleaned up in preparation for silicone molding.
Products of note used in the video:
- Rebound 25 Silicone
- SuperSeal sealing agent
- Best Value Vacs 3 gallon vacuum chamber kit
- Silc-Pig (dye)
- Thi-Vex Silicone thickener
- Plasticine
- Plasti-Paste 1
- SmoothCast 65D resin.

NOTE: The purpose of these videos is to explain the steps, tools, materials and techniques I employ in creating my props. I strongly encourage anyone handling any of the products I mention to follow the manufacturer's safety instructions, and wear protective equipment including but not limited to safety glasses, respirators, and gloves.
This was a bit more in-depth and insightful with some real-world issues than some he other 'how to mold a helmet' videos (which have certainly been helpful also). Love your interpretation of this SWTOR Mando. Thank you Taras!
Mynock, that was by far one of the best walk-throughs I've watched. I've been wanting to mold and cast my custom pepakura scratch build. awesome
Super interesting video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'd love to see the next casting video!
I love this tutorial, very thorough...you're my hero!
Im addicted to this stuff. Please god post moore like this.
Great video! I look forward to your casting tutorial.
Awesome vid Mynock, looking forward to your casting video.......Hopefully soon!!!! Keep up your great work.
Damn that was a high quality video. Not at all what I was looking for, but I watched the whole thing.
Your vids/website are super helpful for some projects I've got coming up. Thanks
This was awesome, thank you for sharing. Huge fan of your work. May The Force be With You!
Amazing! Excellent job.
That looks incredible!
I agree With TheGamingGeek. You should have won the Costume Contest at SWC17... I have been a fan of everything Mynock's Den since discovering you in early 2016. My Son has become a fan of yours as well and he wants very much to become a Costume Maker as a result of watching you. Had it not been for your first tutorial on how to put electronics into a Stormy, I am not sure I would have been turned on to costuming as I have since then. For this Sir, I thank you.
The amount of detail your stuff has is simply amazing. I aspire to become as talented as you.
However, in the meantime, I would very much like to try and purchase some of your stuff that your stuff which you don't have up on your Etsy account.
How might I get in touch with.
Man you should have won the costume contest at star wars celebration 2017
Happy New Year!
Thx for the vinyl gloves tip!
Moulding the Circuit Boards is very Kit-Bash, 1977-esq, nice. ;)
Outstanding!
How much of the rebound did you use in total to make the mold
amazing bro!
I loved it when you said ' let's build this wall ! ' in an enthusiastic manner. Excellent 👌
Well this comment didn't age well.
@@ray24051 Give it a couple of years.
Greetings, may I ask what product you used to make your one part mold jackets? The one you grabbed off the shelf
Where do you get the silicone molds at? Do I have to just get the material and put it on the plastic helmets I already have? 9r can I buy the silicone mold itself? Where do I find some?
Zakull armor/helmet would be awesome
Hello there. Can I use the same technique to make a mold of a Stormtrooper helmet, but use plaster instead of paste?
Why make a resin copy? does it hold up better than the 3d print when cosplaying? The 3d print looked great so just curious.
my full size mandalorian helmet i printed took over 72 hours to print alone because i have a massive watermelon head, then add the filler primer, sanding, wet sanding, priming again, more sanding, painting, and weathering. If youre looking to sell them, molding and casting is the only reasonable way to go about it. Its crazy time consuming sometimes, but its fun.
most of the reason to make a mold of a helmet or whatever, is because the 3d prints are fragile, if you drop it, or it gets roughed in shipping it can crack or come apart at the seams etc, so a mold is able to be a little more flexible and resilient. secondarily, molds allow you to make multiple copies easily and quickly.
My thi vex isn’t working. Tips?
What do you think about using silicone thinner for your small detail print coat?
I want a dredd one
is the helmet squishy? i am starting to get familiar with the mold part but the cast part is new.
so do you buy the mother helm or how to you get the very first solid grey piece
could you drop some links for the stuff you used please
Oh and one more thing, how much of 65-D resin did you use to make the cast?
Anywhere from 25-30 ounces of resin
how much for two bucket? those silicone
Where can i buy some of your helmets
Where did you get the 3d print made?
Are you still using Rhino?
24:09 i hate when things like that happen, don't worry i still believe you
Where? Where can i buy it????

+Hakasauars yes
You know Rebound 25/40 doesn't need degassing 🤔
lasarith2 I believe I explained it. Yes, the instructions say you don't need to, but I've made molds both ways, and degassed ones ALWAYS come out cleaner. If you have a vacuum chamber, I recommend using it whenever you can.
Mynock's Den yeah I wrote that before you explained why for you you do it, (thought you weren't aware) why I was saying, to save you all the hassle lol 🙂
sucks that you didn't make any templets for this
