Assembling a Clone Trooper Resin Helmet Kit | Start to Finish (104th 'Wolfpack')

- Today I go through putting together a Phase 2 Clone Trooper Helmet kit from start to finish, from clean up, sanding and filling, to painting and weathering and those final extra touches. I also do the face off mod!
Many thanks to Sanotized Creations for making such a great kit. Just to clarify, I wasn't paid, or supplied with the kit, it was bought with my own coin.

Criminally underrated channel.
I get my full trooper kit in the mail next week, and your content will be the guiding force that gets me to the 501st. Thank you for what you do here.
Thank you so much! Good luck with the kit, always need more clone brothers!
It looks so good I think you actually took it from the battlefield.
Phenomenal video. I have been scared of resin cast, but after this I have much more faith in my ability to make it what I want.
Thank you! Yes I hope by giving a step by step it becomes less daunting
Awesome work
Most underrated prop making channel on UA-cam! Have watched this video multiple times and it has inspired me to bite the bullet and make my own 501st helmet. Thank you kind sir for your amazing content! would love to see you make a 501st helmet in the future!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, it means a lot. I'm glad that you are giving it a go too! If you have Instagram be sure to tag me when you're done so I can see 🙂 @buckethead.studios
Lovely job as always, it is always good to see your work.
I love it, great job.
Brilliant!
Great Job! Amazing techniques and final product!
Unrelated question, what do you use as a microphone/voice changer for trooping? (I'm looking for stromtrooper voice...)
@@gilleshug2736 I haven't ever used one, but I do have one to try out, I forget the make but they're on amazon as voice amplifiers
Thank you for this video, your idea on magnet face attachment is great, I was looking up ideas for mine. I am doing a 3D printed model, so I have a lot more cracks than the resin design, but I think it will turn out well. Cheers!
Thank you, yeah the magnet way is great, I've seen both front and back plates made to be the removable part. Know all about the 3d print smoothing 😄 working on some now in fact 😵
This is the best video you ever made. It's really interesting to see you go through the whole process. It seems like a lot of work but very fun to do. Especially the painting side of it.
How long does it take you in real time to do from start to finnish ? Have you ever thought of designing a suit from scratch as in a custom one ? Also where do you get that mini saw blade from ? Sorry for all the questions ha ha ha
Thank you! Thought I'd try for a comprehensive tutorial type video.
Not sure how long it would take me, as the filming and everything adds so much time. Depends how much filling etc you have to do and for that all to dry, drying time is the big killer, same with the paint layers, at least 24 hours between coats at least. Could probably do it in a week (with FT work as well), with nice evenings to paint and the weekend. Not thought about adding another clone to my costume list yet.
You can get the little saw blades from Amazon, something like hobby saw blades
@@BucketheadStudios ok thanks for replying. Keep on building 😃
I just came from Instagram and I'm so impressed. This is awesome!!! Unfortunately, I'll never be able to recreate this 😂
Hi! If you ever give it a go I'm happy to help. The video of course shows a lot of the process and what you would need to do to finish a kit
@@BucketheadStudios thanks for the answer mate! I'm totally new at cosplays, actually I don't even have one by myself but maybe in the future. A friend of mine really got me into trooping
@@BucketheadStudios and to be honest.. 104th or nothing 😂
Adam Savage has definitely just laid the gauntlet down for Mando's helmet, are we going to see your version?
Just watched the video! Great turn around on that black series. No plans to get one myself as yet though
@@BucketheadStudios Can you recommend a filler for plastic which is quite hard but easily sandable?...I also need to build up an edge and sand it to shape.
I've been having good luck with 3m acryl green and red spot putties for filling and sanding. A little more pricey (and fumey), but they get the job done and dry quickly
@@BucketheadStudios Thanks, I will go check them out.
This looks sick man! Will you be doing a video showing off the full look? I'd love to see it all together 🤙
I'll see if I can squeeze one in
@@BucketheadStudios Awesome man I will keep an eye out for it :)
What spray paint did you get for the bluey greyish part of the helmet? Great video btw!
Thank you! Was a Rustoleum Painters Touch Dark Grey Gloss for the battalion colour
Hey! Thanks so much for the helpful video.
I have the same exact helmet and I also have a noggin way too large for the opening. Now that its been a while, how has the removed faceplate and magnets held up? Is there anything you would do differently?
Glad it was of help!
Actually, an addition I still need to do is add more magnets at the bottom, as with the neck seal it pops the faceplate away with head movement
Thanx for helping me with painting my helmet! Do You know which primer i should use for eva foam helmet?
You should prime with a flexible primer, flexbond or plastidip are popular ones. Plastidip is in a spray can so may be easier to obtain and apply
What kinda filler were you using? The blue colour looked cool!
3m acryl putty. Comes in green/blue and red
What kind of tool is that you use for the filling process because i search it for my own helmet? Greetings from Germany
Hi! Metal modelling tools, can get them in a set usually, could be named sculpting tools as well
@@BucketheadStudios Hi another Question what tool did you use on the Dremel to cut out the Visor?
Where do u get your decals from for your clone troopers
A friend of mine had a vinyl cutter, so he did them for me after I made the files
Hi,
I'm in the process of building my own helmet from Sanotized creations and I have a few questions. You did a really good job with the helmet, so I wanted to know if I could contact you personally if I had any further questions. but first my most important question: how did you live the grid to the attached details?(16:50) Sorry you skipped that in the video.
It would be very nice of you if you could help me. Greetings from Germany✌🏻❤
I use the same mesh as for the teeth section and cut it into a circle. You can pattern the circle with masking tape and then transfer to the mesh. Can cut with scissors. Doesn't have to be too accurate, it's quite forgiving at the edges once you add some weathering. If you'd like to dm any more questions, best to message me on my Instagram @buckethead.studios much more likely to see messages over there 🙂
@@BucketheadStudios thanks for the quick answer, I added you on insta and will send you a DM if I have any further questions ✌🏻❤
Where did you get the mesh for the air intake pieces?
Ebay, just a fine or hobby mesh
@@BucketheadStudios never would have thought I would get such a fast reply, thank you and you just earned a subscriber
What does it cost roughly to build a full set of clone armor?
it cost me around $200 to print my clone armor and around $80 dollars of spray paint, bondo, filler primer .
If you buy a vac formed kit and an unfinished resin helmet, probably about £800, then time and finishing materials to get it wearable
Do these resin helmet casts need filling and sanding?
Yes they do, usually takes a few passes, with some primer layers in between
@@BucketheadStudios ok thanks. I’m currently working on a 3D printed helmet to make as a mold and I was wondering if I had to make it perfect
Make it as shiny and perfect as you possibly can, that way each cast has less work
@@BucketheadStudios ok got ya. Thanks
Does that Clone know you stole his helmet?
