People have been asking for a list of what I used to mod this helmet so here you go! Superglue Car body filler (easily sandable stuff) Milliput Polypropelene plastic sheet (from ebay) Hot glue Medium and fine grit sandpaper Fine grit ‘wet and dry’ sandpaper Automotive painters masking tape White plastic primer White and red spray paints Grey and black enamel paint Mirrored window tint And packing foam for the inside of the helmet. The materials for the rangefinder are small strip of wood, polypropelene plastic sheet and some spare EVA foam
Commander Fox yes I understand this I’m a little young to know about that but I still know because when I was younger they were just taking the full helmet off of the shelves and replacing them with the shitty masks
I have the red shock trooper version that had the flashlight and the red diamond on the forehead of it. I'm doing this mod as soon as I go to Lowes or Ace hardware, because I'm gonna do a few things differently and they have the materials anyhoo
pro tip when applying vinyl or film like the reflective visor vinyl use a 80/20 mix of water and dish sosp and spray lightly on the surface you are applying the vinyl this allows the viny to "float" and you can easily push air bubbles and creases out to the edge the water will evaporate leaving you with a perfect result cheers
But alot of people think that it would ruin immersion with rainbow colors of troops running around the battlefield. Like all the legions are together 501st, 212th, 91st, etc.....
Looks much better 👌 a suggestion, when removing masking tape, peel it backwards, not pull it away, it is less likely to lift the paint off the surface 😎
Nice conversion. Also fun fact, Captain Rex’s helmet is a hybrid of phase 1 and phase 2 clone helmets. He also did it with his body armor, I’m guessing because phase 1 was very strong but really clunky and phase 2 was protective in certain areas, but really ergonomic.
@@nickmontage1127 I think he was referring as to a joke, Since in the original trilogy's stormtroopers SUCK at aiming, Or maybe I'm retarded. Who knows?
Great work Ace, love the finish you acheived. However, I really wish I hadn't seen this vid, because now I'm going to have to get my partialy finished Hasbro Clone trooper helmet out and get it finished, dang you Ace, LOL!
Thanks for posting this! I’ve gotten a good start on a mod of my own, but the way you did your visor looks a ton easier than how I was planning on doing mine.
Well done. I got to thinking of you the other day while I was dusting off and boxing up some of my custom LEGO sets, remembering the influence your OT Stormtrooper armour paint scheme seems to have had in the designing of one of the LEGO Stormtrooper minifigures. Hadn't subscribed to your channel and couldn't remember your screen name. Then this afternoon, while scrolling through videos on UA-cam's home screen I saw you name, watched this video and have subscribed. The Force is with you.
Not first. Also I'm going to be Kylo Ren for Halloween, and cosplay as him to all my conventions. Could you make a video with tips to make a screen accurate Kylo Ren? That last part cracked me up.
I have taken a year to track down a complete set of these for a "wall Display in my (soon to be) projection home cinema with my black series helmets, and I must admit yours looks good with the smaller eye slits.
Ok sooo i have 2 of these helmets that were given to me back in 08, but due to the back ground music in this video i wasnt sure if i should start dancing or crafting :/
Friend of mine picked one of these up at a garage sale for me awhile back and i've always wanted to do something like this, great work and great video!
Amazing Design i remember getting one of those helmets as a kid back in 2009 as a gift for Christmas. I love the art you put into the helmet realy fascinating, keep up your great work!
Sigma Maverick That is true but Stormtroopers are mostly recognised as recruited soldiers. The Clones that did transfer did not live much longer. Also, the Pop culture image of a Stormtrooper isn't one of a clone inside the armour.
Not only am I envious of your skills to be able to make something like this happen BUT your hair... It's perfect *_OwO_* ps: You could add like a sketch/quote to the side of the helmet, to make it more personal just like some of the clone troopers.
"This helmet is so pretty, even my poster of Director Krennic has fainted!" I absolutely lost it! Hilarious! Awesome job on the helmet! I've wanted to do a Fordo for a long time!
Really cool! Two things I would have done differently: use the magnets to keep the cap on when you're not using the range finder and use CA glue to hold the plastic on the visor.
NCIS shirt, Mario pants, Star Wars cosplay, not to mention I've been going by the callsign Ace ever since I was the Emperor's Eyes of the Secret Order of the Emperor in TIE Fighter - I definitely sense a kindred spirit. Subscribing for sure!
One thing I've wondered is, what's up with the red light on the back of the fin? Is it for other troopers behind to see each other or something?.. or is it just for aesthetics? Because I've seen the light on in the Battlefront 2 trailer..
My question is do you take commissions ? Haha i kid ... just a couple of things i need made clear -what did you reinforce the helmet parts with -what is wet and dry ? Thanks in advance :-)
After all the years i still have the helmet standing on the left side of my pc. I distinctly remember me cutting out some paper to first make the visor look more like a actuall phase 1 and after watching episode 3 for the first time into a phase 2. always hated the original look and everytime i saw the helmet it bothered me. But now that i've seen this video im gonna make my childhood dream of this being a proper helmet come true. Thank you
Mine's in the mail and I'll be sporting a custom clone helmet before too long thanks to you. Stay wizard and may the Force be with you, Trooper! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job! Couple of little painting tips. Don't know if you had any problem with the red bleeding under the tape, but one way to ensure that it doesn't happen is to apply a light coat of the white again once you have masked it all up. This will seal the edge of the tape and anything that DOES bleed under is the same colour as what is already on. The other thing is, I notice the bit of red overspray on the left ear and I bet you had to put loads of white on it to stop it looking pink! Answer, put some BLACK over the red and THEN put the white over. The black blocks the red from bleeding through the white. You may already know these things or not, but just figured if I put these lil tips on here then they may help someone else out. Loving the vids by the way! Only just discovered you and am lovin what ya do!
it think it would look even better with some wear and tear detail added. Also i think the black visor design is better than the silver. But overall, really cool. awesome job!
I have 4 screen accurate clone helmets, which are worth about 4-5 thousand all together. One is of one 400 ever made by EFX in 2007. Hate the crappy empire, long live the REPUBLIC!!!!
REPUBLIC REBORN I have a Boba Fett helmet that was fast in Germany, ive only ever seen the one I have so there aren't too many in the US. It was $90 and looks like it was hand painted
People have been asking for a list of what I used to mod this helmet so here you go!
Superglue
Car body filler (easily sandable stuff)
Milliput
Polypropelene plastic sheet (from ebay)
Hot glue
Medium and fine grit sandpaper
Fine grit ‘wet and dry’ sandpaper
Automotive painters masking tape
White plastic primer
White and red spray paints
Grey and black enamel paint
Mirrored window tint
And packing foam for the inside of the helmet.
The materials for the rangefinder are small strip of wood, polypropelene plastic sheet and some spare EVA foam
What is the approximate price for all the things you need?
when you are older, join you to us... the 501!
Ace Cosplay Nerd in me needs to point out that since it's a Phase 1 helmet, red denotes rank not division. (Red means captain btw)
I ended up paying about 90€ for materials
Ace Cosplay what was the thickness of the polypropylene sheet?
Good thing the visibility is alright, so you can still WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS!
wrong legion dude

I miss when they made full helmets now they just Sell shity masks
Commander Fox so true
Commander Fox yes I understand this I’m a little young to know about that but I still know because when I was younger they were just taking the full helmet off of the shelves and replacing them with the shitty masks
Yes but, NOW THERES BLACK SERIES!!!!
Yeah and they are cheap plastic
At least we do have the black series helmets, when Hasbro will wake up and make clone helmets I don't know. They would sell.
just like the simulations
Watch those wrist rockets

Fuck those Large-Ass Hasbro Visors. The less you can see, the more accurate it is :)
Glad you fixed it up real good!
Great work, man! WOOF WOOF

CommanderWolffe i see u every where on youtube your videos are recommended for me there great vids btw but your every where
Well, you're not more accurate if you see less.
woof woof pmsl
CommanderWolffe I watch you all the time
i used to have this and wondered why the visor was so goddamn big
Zeus for little kids to see
Zeus I just found this vid and I was thinking the same thing along where my boba fett helmet just like this went fml
Damn! I actually have one of these helmets, literally all I want is to make the visor smaller. This is awesome!

I have four different helmets, boba, death trooper, rex, and a red clone trooper helmet (don’t know the last one very well)

Looks much better 👌 a suggestion, when removing masking tape, peel it backwards, not pull it away, it is less likely to lift the paint off the surface 😎
thanks for the advice
Remove tape when the paint is wet for no paint lift.
can you elaborate more on peeling it backwards? Like roll it?
yes
ibasiclypwn yes
Holy crap that's the coolest shit I've ever seen.
Hikari ও Phase 1 Helmets look pretty menacing
You need to get out more.

"We're taking heavy fire!"

Nice conversion. Also fun fact, Captain Rex’s helmet is a hybrid of phase 1 and phase 2 clone helmets. He also did it with his body armor, I’m guessing because phase 1 was very strong but really clunky and phase 2 was protective in certain areas, but really ergonomic.

Amazing work girl! Congrats!

I have one of these!! It was a gift from my grandpa as a kid. Funnily enough, he also bought one for himself and painted it to look similar to yours!
Are you gonna make/get a captain fordo armor set? Also that's a pretty dang cool looking helmet
Enjoyed the video a lot. Proud member of the Imperial Outlanders. I'm going to try and recreate the build as Captain Rex's phase II helmet.
Not first.

This was awesome. I love how clearly and thoughtfully you narrate the project.
Do you maybe have a link or recommendation on what kind of plastic you used to cover up some of the visor?
she used PP, I am guessing 2-3mm thick, but where I live that stuff is quite expensive for it's size. I guess you could use PE but I can't gurantee

How do you learn to do this

Does your shirt say "cloned to be wild" with a picture of a fucking StormTrooper?
Fusi0nZ most of the stormtroopers were clones during early empire
Sigma Maverick That is true but Stormtroopers are mostly recognised as recruited soldiers. The Clones that did transfer did not live much longer. Also, the Pop culture image of a Stormtrooper isn't one of a clone inside the armour.
+Fusi0nZ Clones were phased out around 5 years before episode 4. For most of the empire's rule they had clones.
Fusi0nZ yes yes she is
Keep in mind a great handful of clones did die on the first death star! Probably wrong but makes sense to me!
Well,it can stay white if you want like a 501st template on it,love the transformation so keep up the amazing work!
phase 1 armor is best armor
natureman494 Then you haven’t seen phase 2 armor it’s lit
Honestly I like the Phase 1 helmet much more but the actual Armour Phase 2 nails it
natureman494 ARC trooper phase 1.5 armour is the best
Phase 1 65th corousant guard

this helmet brings back so many memories (,:
I got bullied because of the visor ::::::::’)
Where did you get the blaster rifle?
Star Commander it’s a dc15 blaster rifle that has been modified black.
Star Commander they sold them a couple years ago or something but she painted it black

My question is do you take commissions ? Haha i kid ... just a couple of things i need made clear
-what did you reinforce the helmet parts with
-what is wet and dry ?
Thanks in advance :-)
Oh I know one of these :D wet and dry is basically a special type of sandpaper and it can be used wet or dry (hence the name).
Leaving the visor black would have been a bit better. But overall it looks really good

Slender Man No, I meant like the 501st trooping and costumeing organization. I know it's an ARC trooper helmet lol.
