Can we all take a moment to appreciate how he released the templates for free. Not a lot of creators I’ve seen have their stuff for free so I’m excited to jump into this project. This is the way

This is definitely the way

what a chad. not only has he given us a quality design with easy-to-find materials, but he posted the templates for free. what a freaking legend.

Mando: "This is the way." Yoda: "The way this is."

its so nice when people include free templates, thank you!

Appreciate how the templates are free This is the way

I can't thank you enough for the free tamplets. I made this helmet (it was a pain in the ass, ngl. Took 15 hours) and it turned out amazing!

My man is a god, he’s actually the only guy who isnt ripping us off our money to make diy crafts, instead he give us it for free!

Dustin, you have the most amazing editing style I have ever seen when it comes to DIY videos! Thank you for continuously inspiring me and many others 😀

Just finished this and it worked great, thank you so much! I scaled it down for my seven year old. If you print on a4 paper and set the scale to 20% it works out perfect for little guys.

this is the way to make a GREAT mandalorian helmet, also it would be really cool to see a full mandalorian costume!

Best. Covid. Shield

Just a tip, If you don't want to buy the face shield you can lay out some box tape (Clear tape) to the shape you need and use a thick sharpie to color the black and you can still see out of it.

I remember always watching your videos and making stuff from them when I was younger, it feels so nostalgic to watch your videos, and I might even try to make this helmet! Thanks Dustin

Thank you for this! I made this for my 5 year old sons Mandalorian birthday. I didn’t scale anything down so he kind of looked like a bobble head, but he absolutely loved it and it still looked pretty cool!

Thank you for making this template! It got me really started in mando armor. Over the course of the last year i've used this to make four helmets. Customized it a bit for each one, so for reference for anyone else i'll list what i did Twi-lek mando - cut out a large portion of the back of the dome, then cut down the middle of the back wall. used an extra peice of cardboard and velcrow to close it once i get it over the lekku. Nite-owl style visor - simply changed the shape of the extra peice around the visor. that one's visor was construction paper with slits cut into it, so i didn't need to change the shape of the mismatched visor opening underneath. doing it again i would simply do the same, but cut out the extra curves after glueing the top peice on as a guide. Yarndalorian - yarndo is plastic canvas and yarn. I used these templates for the base of it, simply tracing and cutting out the template on the plastic grid as accurately as possible without cutting open any of the squares. Whip stiched the seams together rather than glueing, and filled the panels in the same way you would with any other plastic canvass project. I've made a few other modifications, such as adding horns to loki-lorian, making boxier ear caps for yarndo, a rangefinder for the nite-owl, and a rangefinder for the twi-lek. designed my own earcaps for each rangefinder. Definitly suggest to any other custom mando builders who want to work with cardboard but not to be din djarin to still use this as a base! if you'd like a fully nite owl style helmet, you can always use the dome, visor with the modifications i listed above, and side walls parts of the template, then all you have to do is figure out the cheek indendations. tricky, but not impossible, i belive in you. Final notes, if you want to paint rather than use duct tape, be very careful with your hot gluing. it is possible to get clean seams, though on some curves there will be a gap that you'll want to fill in, either very carefully with hot glue, or with something like bondo. Don't forget to seal your work (i use mod podge), be safe with knives, and don't touch hot glue. This is the way.

Dude I thought you were done making stuff with homemade movies because I used to watch you all the time but here we are making videos in 2020 thank you for making a lot of crafting video really helped me out

i used this video with the provided templates to build the helmet. Took my around 4 hours but was easy all in all. I'd recommend to build each side alone first and then adjust the width so your head fits in well. The helmet is kinda big so I could cut off 2 cm of each half in the middle and then glue it together. Thank you for this video and the provided materials.

My 5 year old is OBSESSED with Mando. I have decided to surprise him with making him his very own Mando armor and this will be the perfect helmet for him! When he does inevitably destroy it (like little boys do lol) I can just make him another one. Thank you for sharing such an easy, cheap DIY.
