Something that I find interesting is how this movie has endured; the aesthetics, the quotable lines, the general straight forward simplicity of the story premise keeps inspiring today. Just about half a year ago, a Starship Trooper game out on Steam that dovetails with the movie and it keeps the look and feel of media that came out in '97. Great build, now all you need is the rifle and you can finally blast that beetle you made from Foam Clay a couple of years back.
It's funny. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. I did see this in the theater with my buddies. I remember everyone hating this film when it came out, and now it's a classic nostalgia bait.
@@richardkinkead7823 Yup, me too. I used to get into heated arguments with a couple of my friends as well, I remember walking out of the theater on opening week and being the only one who liked and defended it. It was brushed off as schlock at the time which is why I'm surprised at how it keeps getting referenced now.
Actually surprised the "Would you like to know more?" clip hasn't been worked in between part of the build ;). Looks great! Never even realised there was any kind of green shade in the paintwork from the movie costumes until I watched the chest plate build vid!
Pretty killer dude. Do you have any videos on how you go about making the templates and knowing where to have the cut-outs to make certain shapes when glued together?
I put out a video on my channel a while back on how to make simple templates. More complex shapes I can’t do a tutorial because I see them in my head and hand draw them out on poster board. It’s just something you’ll get better at over time. but creating templates is usually the most challenging part for people that are new or inexperienced with the medium
Thats insanely cool! :0 any chance you could make the eva 01 unit helmet from evangelion? Im at a complete loss 😅 and ive never made anything before aha
Hi Steven Question, what clothes do you wear underneath to represent the uniform, would it look like work clothes or overalls? As always thanks for your ART!!
Have you made the grenades that go in the pouches? Or do you have a recommendation on where to get some? I’d like to have something in the pouches when I wear this along with a group of five others this fall.
I haven’t made any yet. Honestly looks like if you just wanted to fill the spaces you could mod some nerf mini footballs and add extra details to them 😂 otherwise there are pics on google of the originals but since they were made of foam latex most are falling apart
@@SKSPropsWould you ever consider sharing a pdf for the build even if there is no video? I'm new to foam builds and cosplay and hope I can be a starship trooper for my first endeavor. I like your colonial marine too its epic.
watch my how to cosplay using eva foam video for all of the tools needed and then try some of the basic props like the knight helmet or plague mask to get your feet wet
I printed it as a poster for one of my cosplay buddies, but my head is much smaller. Am I able to take it down a little when printing? I don't see anything about different sized skulls in the template, video or printing instructions.
@@goomagames if you were wanting to make the helmet smaller once you hit poster you can then change scale by printing at less than 100%. but the helmet is setup as a standard size 23.5” head
You just trace around the 2mm template and add an inch all the way around just like you see in the video. You need the excess to cut away you’d never be able to line that piece up otherwise

With this i'll make a Helldivers helmet, thank you so much
You're welcome!
Thanks for this! We are wrapping up just in time for Dragon Con; I'll be on the lookout for you there.
Fantastic! I'll probably have mine on Friday and Aliens Saturday 👍
Yes yes yes...! **does a victory dance** Yes!!! Thank you, Steve!
You're welcome Rex!
Actually surprised the "Would you like to know more?" clip hasn't been worked in between part of the build ;). Looks great! Never even realised there was any kind of green shade in the paintwork from the movie costumes until I watched the chest plate build vid!
Thanks! yeah there was color grading in the movie but the original armor has a green tint on the chest and weapons while the helmet remained more grey
Fantastic work! You make this look so easy...
Thank you very much! Years and years of practice
Love this so much! Looking forward to seeing the Roughnecks at DragonCon. Hope to squeeze in this build and join up! Hooyah! ❤
Thank you and yes that would be great!
Your body of work is really amazing, nice job!
Thank you very much!
I really wonder how it becomes realistic at the end. Wow that's interesting.
- Your biggest fan here from the Philippines.
Thanks!! Glad you liked the process
Good work. All troopers should craft their own armor.
Agreed!! 😂🙌
Damn, Steve! That is some amazing engineering of very complex geometry! I'm absolutely using the templates and techniques! TY so much for sharing!
You're welcome and yeah not one of the easier builds 😅
Wow, awesome build! How you figure out these patterns is magic, well done Steve!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic! I would also state that your tutorial on the sanding drum should be required viewing by any maker. They work wonders.
Thank you very much! I try to share it every time I can so many foamsmiths would have smoother seams!!
Amazing work as always SKS Props ^_^ all that's left is to get ahold of a Marieta Rifle and we are set to drop!
Thanks! I'll prob make it for myself but I dont know about a video yet YT nerfs firearm builds real or fake
So awesome, glad you did this follow up!
Thanks!! 👍

Awesome! Have fun!
You should make a set of colonial marine armor next!! There arent many good foam files for those out there and you would make an amazing set!!
Check out my instagram post on March 21st
@@SKSProps i cant wait!! Love your stuff dude!!
Dude, you look like the journalist from starship troopers.
YES! Amazing! You’re the best!!
Thanks and you're welcome!
It would still be great if you created the Viper Pilot helmet from the 2005 Battlestar Galactica.
Now you just need to build your Morita Assault Rifle.
OMFG, it looks so good on you!
Thank you!! 🙌
IT WOULD BE VERY COOL IF HE MADE A FULL XENOMORPH FROM THE ALIEN MOVIE.
Disfraz completo
Now all you need is an Arachnid suit for the dog.
Awesome😊
Thanks 🙌
What about a Helmet worn by Rick from Robotech?
And awesome build..welcome to the Propnecks
Thanks!!
Awesome job SKSProps 👏
Thank you!!
You're welcome!😃
Awesome!
Thanks!
I had to stop and look again. You looked like Michael Ironside in the thumbnail.
I thought so to
Trying to channel my Rasczak scowl might have to make the arm for DragonCon
It would be funny if the next video in the Starship Troopers build would be Rasczak's cyber arm.
Pretty killer dude. Do you have any videos on how you go about making the templates and knowing where to have the cut-outs to make certain shapes when glued together?

Fun fact, also the same armor the soldiers wore in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy if someone was interested in that cosplay.
hey man love your videos i made vegeta armor and others following your guides, can you make a helldiver ? would be amazing
Thanks! I don’t have any plans for Helldivers but my friend Ashen Warrior props is working on a helmet video be sure to check him out
Dude we need a fallout foam project for the new series released
I made combat armor check that video out ua-cam.com/video/_OneymSKPlc/v-deo.html
Magnifico trabajo como siempre 10/10.
¿Algun dia construiras el lancer de gears of war?
Thanks! 🙌 Probably not these already people that make those I tend to build what others haven’t
Hell yeah
👍👍
Next one Aliens Colonial Marines Helmet and armor :)
Go look at my instagram post on March 21st
Please make a magneto 97 helmet
Would you like to know more? :)
Put your hand on that wall, trooper.
@@Anarchist86ed who needs knives in a nuke fight…sir 😂
@@SKSProps PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT WALL! 😠
Thats insanely cool! :0 any chance you could make the eva 01 unit helmet from evangelion? Im at a complete loss 😅 and ive never made anything before aha
Now for a helldiver armor build
No now for Aliens marine armor
Your lack of Patriotism has been noted
Can you make Senshi helmet from Dungeon Meshi anime
Hi Steven
Question, what clothes do you wear underneath to represent the uniform, would it look like work clothes or overalls?
As always thanks for your ART!!
I cover the jacket at the end of the video
Have you?! ever made a Ghostbuster back power pack
No, lost wax already did. But personally I’d get one of those hasbro versions they are awesome and can be modded
Have you made the grenades that go in the pouches? Or do you have a recommendation on where to get some? I’d like to have something in the pouches when I wear this along with a group of five others this fall.
I haven’t made any yet. Honestly looks like if you just wanted to fill the spaces you could mod some nerf mini footballs and add extra details to them 😂 otherwise there are pics on google of the originals but since they were made of foam latex most are falling apart
Your videos are great! Do you think you would make the Morita mk.2 rifle to go with the armor?
I do plan on making one for myself but I don’t know about a video. UA-cam demonetizes and suppresses videos/channels regarding firearms real or fake
@@SKSPropsWould you ever consider sharing a pdf for the build even if there is no video? I'm new to foam builds and cosplay and hope I can be a starship trooper for my first endeavor. I like your colonial marine too its epic.
Hello! Could u make a dino mask with foam? It’ll be really helpful if it was free
Just modify the dog skull and dragon masks I already have available
I want to make an adult sized iron giant statue or just props what is everything I need to learn how to do to be able to do it???
watch my how to cosplay using eva foam video for all of the tools needed and then try some of the basic props like the knight helmet or plague mask to get your feet wet
This looks great, but how do we scale it to our own head?
It’s already scaled watch the how to print templates video
I printed it as a poster for one of my cosplay buddies, but my head is much smaller. Am I able to take it down a little when printing? I don't see anything about different sized skulls in the template, video or printing instructions.
@@goomagames if you were wanting to make the helmet smaller once you hit poster you can then change scale by printing at less than 100%. but the helmet is setup as a standard size 23.5” head
Will you also make the Morita rifle and carbine from the movie in the future?
I'll prob make it for myself but I dont know about a video YT nerfs firearm builds real or fake
@@SKSProps Should be fine since there are some guys who posted tutorial videos on building prop firearms from movies and video games
@@randycheow4268 you can post them…but YT demonetizes them and nerfs the reach of the channel
Hi Steve are you gona do aliens marines armor to?
Follow my instagram for build updates
Do you think you could make a template for the 10mm part attached to part A, I been having a hard time making it
You just trace around the 2mm template and add an inch all the way around just like you see in the video. You need the excess to cut away you’d never be able to line that piece up otherwise
Thanks
Does contact glue work to stick velcro to eva foam?
It can but I am more confident in the double adhesive haven’t had it fail
@@SKSProps thanks for the clarification ✨
can I make this into the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Armor
Absolutely not! It is only for StarShip Troopers!! 😂😂
Use it for whatever costume you’d like 👍
Interesting fun fact, they reuse this armour set for power rangers lost galaxy, yes I’m a nerd 😊
make the leviathan axe from god of war
I don’t need to my buddy Odin Makes made a video several years ago
@@SKSProps oh sweet thx man
