DiResta: Stormtrooper Helmet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- In this special Halloween episode of DiResta, Jimmy wields a slasher-worthy kitchen knife and goes all Norman Bates on a block of styro. When the carnage is over, he emerges with a sweet Star Wars stormtrooper helmet for Halloween. We suggest you might want to employ a slightly less murderous carving tool.
In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta ("Dirty Money," "Hammered," "Against the Grain," "Trash for Cash") lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy.

That moment when you hit pay dirt and realize that there is a whole slew of DiResta videos you haven't seen.
+lilturk726 ha ha thats how I ended up back here.
i normally dont like videos where people are making things but dont explain what their doing but this is well put together with no slow dragging sequences so it gets my seal of approval.
Gotta love how ignorant people are,
"Make a foam cutter" - "You should use a foam cutter" - Jimmy is a Master Craftsmen, like he doesn't know whats best for the job for fuck sake.
DOOMGUY aparrently he didn't knew what was best. Hate to burst your bubble but jimmy is good with wood and metal, not with foam. Everytime he uses foam his projects are mediocre at best.
And this piece just proofs that he is simply not good at this.
I'm a little disappointed that he didn't just use a solvent like acetone to dissolve out the polystyrene...
+EngineerGunter He needed some Polystyrene to fit his head perfectly.Without any polystyrene it would wiggle allot.
Where would be the fun in that?
Cutting that foam looks so satisfying
This guy can literally make anything out of anything with anything made out of anything using any kind of tool ever invented in anyway possible
could barely hear you working with the foam and it still sent shivers down my spine.. lol I could never handle that
It was sad that it was filled with glue and to this day Jimmy still has it on his head.
i would fuck this up on so many steps of the way
I'm convinced this man is a wizard.
I know I'm late to the party, and that most comments criticizing the piece were made months ago, but I'd just like to say, I do not understand why no one gets that the reason Jimmy didn't go ham on this piece and make it perfect is because he didn't want to. Everything else he makes always has a practical purpose and so he puts all the time and effort in the world into them because he wants to. This Stormtrooper helmet was most likely made a a fun side project that he obviously is not going to use for more than a week out of the year, and so he didn't spend hours upon hours perfecting the design and painting and finishing and all that. It just wasn't a priority. So all you saying that he ruined the piece and that its his worst, or that he could have made it better, no, he made it exactly how he wanted it. Could he have made it better? Absolutely, Diresta could have made it better than anyone, but the fact is, he just didn't want to. Theres nothing wrong with what he made.
I hear ya! It was a Halloween costume, not meant to be a working replica. I'm sure if he was going to make it with a more practical purpose in mind such as making an actual helmet with an air filter built in, then this would have been a lot more involved and it would have been a lot more polished at the end. :)
2 years ago this was the first video I watched of you and here I am still enjoying them great vids man keep it up
I've been watching your videos for a while and now i am 1000% convinced that there is nothing that you cant manufacture!!!you are trully awesome!!!thanks fir sharing with us your amazing talent!!!
bruh, I need this kind of dedication in life
The force is with you DiResta
Once seen, it can never be unseen!
you sir are an artist in the true sense of the word!
Is there anything you can not make? Incredible!
Jack of all trades. Master of all too. Great job
I personally would've put a lot more time into the whole smoothing/sanding aspect of things, but that's totally just my own preference.
DemonWeasel1990 you should make a video of you making one!
mike gager I should! After my other 9 commissions are done mayhaps.
We should have a stormtrooper headbutting fight
Ridiculously talented
Awesome craftsman. He edits his videos good as well. In one of his videos he's cutting a grip of logs and uses a saw. He clearly has modern tools, but chooses to use throwbacks..i think thats coo!
Super cool as always. Electric carving knives work great on foam.
Jimmy, you have talent that words can't even describe. Your videos really do inspire me!
i like to imagine he made that in 7 minutes and the video is in real time.. is that just me?
i watch all of his videos in 2x speed
+zxana thats actually super smart tho
I love these DiResta videos
This is awesome!!! I love your videos, and I love Star Wars, nothing better than putting them together.
well this guy is a true artist
Imagine what he does for Halloween
The Force is strong with this one.
I can smell that blue foam from here. Anyone who's ever spent any time messing with that stuff can easily get a mental whiff of it when you see it. HAHA!
+TheBikerScout Would you mind telling me a good place to get it for cheap ?
Just google XPS Foam and see what pops up locally for you. It's not something that's readily available where I'm at, so I have to special order it in. Other locales have it right in Lowes and Home Depot.
Thanks man ! been wanting to do this for so long but had no idea where to get the foam large enough to make it :D
+TheRubberMeep good luck man..I've done this project before.I spent about 4 days making storm trooper helmet
That's ridiculous!!!! Very cool, Great job!!!!
was totally sucked in...you're an artist!
diresta, my favorite asmr
Jimmy you are an amazing artist
DUDE!!! HE'S A PROFESSIONAL!!!!
That's what you call talent/ nice workmanship
I always love watching the transition from nothing to something, great work as usual!
Amazing. And fun. With sound on this is just fun to watch and hear.
Wow that was hypnotic.. great work too!
You gave me a great idea for making "bucks" for my vacuum former. Thanks!
his art is awesome
i can feel the foam bits going everywhere
who needs tools when you have a kitchen's knife?
Tool for all your carving needs - a big ass knife XD
you Sir do my dad justice ( he was one of the Troopers in the films WAYYY back in the day) and seeing that being built made me cry now I want to build one I must find out how...
now this is probly some of the best ' on the fly ' work i have seen yet matt ! im a HUGE star wars fan, i love it ! wasnt totally accurate but an awesome job just the same !
ah, the comments that say he doesnt know what hes doing. LOOK UP DIRTY MONEY....hes got more tools than your house is worth. hes a BEAST!
so that's what their armor's made of! It all makes sense now!
That's so awesome cant wait to try it!
what all the nay sayers fail to realize is that Jimmy is an artsit first and then a craftsman and he creates as he sees it and not how it is to be, so to his eye its perfect because thats what he sees
2:22 look at him, he is sad
This video felt so manly
While the final product may slightly resemble a white-washed Jabba the Hutt, this is still impressive. Most impressive indeed.
must be stress relieving, just slicing things up like that
I am sure he works for the Empire!
Actually this looks better then the ones that are sold in the market
You are one of the best "Makers" that I follow... Very good at the small details. Due to your potential I think that you can do better...
Wow amazing job, especially free hand with a kitchen knife! A little slap dash for my taste (but I am an OCD perfectionist), but great for Halloween, certainly considering how crap the costumes you can buy are (and extortionate prices!).
When you find out this is not sped up and he works this fast 😂
I was waiting for the 'Vader' theme at the end there ;-)
this has inspired me...thank you
That was really entertaining to watch
there is... he can never fail
Wow!!!! Great Job!!!
Sounds even better, ty.
this guy is a champ
damn .. that was so nice work
Great job!
This is just crazy amazing.
I saw this video for 12times!
Impressive... MOST Impressive!
so awesome dude u did a great job
Well done!
for my storm trooper helmet I sculpted in out of clean clay, the plaster wrapped it to make an inverse mould. then I coated the inside with fibre glass and pulled it out. the whole thing is only 5mm thick.
Thats cool keep up the good work mate
this guy is a...!!NINJA!!!
I know that it is far from accurate but honestly it still pretty cool in my opinion
i watched the whole thing just for the fast motion knife skills
Out of all the tools you have which cant you stand but need to use it
wow this is amazing
very skilled sculptor.
Good work! Highly recomend micro planes, the work way better than surform.
Now he just has to make the rest of the Empire.
Dang, that's really cool, but that just makes it all the more disappointing. You could have done it perfectly, but instead, you made a really awesome sloppy stormtrooper helmet.
Man, I want one
Incredible
Very impressive, considering he has done it purely by hand.
My approach would be to create a 3D model from pictures, then mill it in a CNC mill.
But whatever tickles your fancy!
JIMMY DIRESTA FOR PRESIDE... EMPEROR!!!
HAHAHA, very cool. good job. I have been working on my Stormtrooper helmet with pepakura
That is so cool!
Looks cool, but i think he left it in half assed state and could done proper job with finishing. Also i though that this was only going to be peace where fiber class mold was made and then proper fiber class version of it, but yeah nice video how to make pre mold^^
It was for a Halloween costume. He probably could have done a better job but I think the purpose of this video was to show people how quick and easy you can make a costume helmet using a few simple tools over a short amount of time. It certainly won't win prizes for being 'movie accurate' but would look great out on the street or at a party at Halloween.
Zaeed Massani Well your right on that, but i felt that he could showed that yes here its ready fast and furious style and after that continue video like... "ok heres how it looks like if used some more time fine tuning"
Sorry but i'm bit perfectionist my self so i demand all most perfect results(with knowledge and ability you got as limiter) from my self and some what people around me. Doing something half assed is worst that never doing it at all. Also in DiResta case i have seen about all hes videos and he does amazing work, so seeing half done helmet like this was disappointing..:/
This is amazing. Just love it.
That is so cool!!!
thank you sir!!!
I love those speed up
Thanks for sharing your process. Acetone is great for melting away white EPS Foam. Not sure if it would work on the blue insulation foam. It might help with dissolving the little bits of foam inside. CHEERS!
It works on blue foam but it's quite messy. You get a syrupy, sticky ooze, but patience will get you there. Anyone trying it should wear a properly filtered mask. Quite Noxious as you know.
He's no Jedi...
Oh wait maybe he is... :-)
