  • eFX helmet modified with motorcycle padding, external audio pickups, wireless "trooper" amp system, fan, and more. This is my first of hopefully many videos of some of the projects I have done and plan to do in my spare time. Hope you enjoy!

    I'm currently designing a much much simplified version of the external amps system as a kit that will install in minutes. Totally removable with no extensive modifications needed to the helmet. Just plug and play, so to speak: only earpads with built-in speakers, and amps enclosed in a plastic housing vacuum formed to fit the helmet flare tube without being in the way. It will be glorious!

    Nice build, I totally enjoy electronics projects such as this and I found this to be a pretty clean build. I think adding the stereo sound inside is a killer idea!

  • @christophermitchell9929

    Excellent job. Getting my Helmet today. Can't wait! I'm going to do your mods to my helmet. Hope I can chime in on a little direction.

  • @Red07StandingBy
    @Red07StandingBy Před 8 lety

    This is amazing! I'm getting armor within the next 2 months, and im from Arizona, so things like the fan would be very useful. All these mic and sound modifications are genius and just really cool!

    Wow! Great job on the helmet and the video presentation! I put a video up of a traveling exhibit that had a movie worn costume. One of these days I'll get a costume : I remember they sold the helmet replicas in the 70's/early 80's in Sci-Fi magazines. I should break those ads out.

  • @5carecrow94
    @5carecrow94 Před 8 lety +1

    You are one badass dude. I'll happily subscribe. I just bought myself a New Hope version of the helmet and am looking to add a microphone since I'm planning on cosplaying as a comedy variant of a Stormtrooper. (Tourist trooper, janitor trooper, chef trooper, etc.), so in this case, all I needed was the helmet and not the armor, since I'm too tubby to fit into a set anyways. This will help a lot!

  • @Froot99

  • @davidaearthy
    @davidaearthy Před 12 lety

    I went to an furniture upholsterer and he gave loads of offcuts for free of various thicknesses. You need a disc in the top of the helmet and the thinness of this depends on how high the helmet needs to sit.

  • @GrunkelGwen
    @GrunkelGwen Před 6 lety

    Love the video and love the work you put in your helmet.
    I take your work as inspiration for my mando bucket, but already figured out, that those have quite less space to put electronics in (the trooper helmet bulges at the bottom are sure a nice place to put electronics in).
    What interests me, is how much electronics you put in your SW:ToR Mando helmet.
    Keep up the awesome work, vod!

  • @kevingreenfield4824

    Great Video! I am getting my own eFX Stormtrooper bucket tomorrow, and want to do basically what you did. Can you tell me which specific parts you used, like the microphones for your ears and such? Also I'd like to know how you wired it all behind the padding. Just over all a little more detail, so i may make an awesome helmet mod like you did. Again, wonderful video!

    You can then you can cover the foam with a stretchy type cloth if you want like Lycra or even very thick lady's tights and then use Velcro to fix so you can remove should you want to ever wash them. hope that helps out.

  • @davidaearthy
    @davidaearthy Před 12 lety

    Then I have a thin band that runs across the top of the eyes. Then to parts of foam that tend to be thinker than the rest at the sides that go just above the ears and finally one band at the back of the head where your head is the biggest. If you need you can also place another thinker part of foam just under this. Its a matter of trial and error and I temporarily fix them in and when I have all the position and thicknesses right.

But what is missing in yours - what my friends and i have in our costumes is a walkie-talkie in the helmet. so we can comunicate while we troop from one part of the con to another. just saying^^ Greetings from Germany

    That sounds really awesome at 5:04. I wonder if the same thing can also be possibly done with a Darth Vader helmet too. except it wouldn't sound exactly just like the fan's voice, it would sound exactly just like James Earl Jones's Darth Vader voice and the breathing sound so that no one will be able to hear the fan's own voice and breathing sound. if that kind of programing can possible that is. Mynock's Den should also do the same to the Anovos First Order Stormtrooper helmet too.
