Check out this similar foam turtle build that has some patterns you can use to make your own! czcams.com/video/pSq5QcSXMqk/video.html
Thanks for the shoutout!
what were your measurements for the forming of the shell?? i've been looking all over the internet for a guide on that :/
@@helencuevas1181 What measurements?
Projects like this just prove that you were the real King of Random after Grant passed.
I am really enjoying the variety. I like knife/sword making, but adding other creative things is always great.
YAY Foam! Thanks for the shout-out and book plug Nate. Cowabunga! =D
Just completed my Squirtle turtle shell using this tutorial! This was my first attempt at using foam for a cosplay and this was so easy to follow! I usually get easily discouraged with projects like these, but I had to trust the process and I'm so proud of how it turned out! Thank you!
I really love this channel. You can really tell Nate has the energy and creativity and fun typical for newer smaller channels, but the quality and hosting skills of someone who has been an industry professional for years.

Also also ALSO Nate From the Internet: "I'm a cosplay channel, here's how to make a turtle shell from floor mats"
I love it
It's almost like he's The Sovereign Without Method.
I't like he leared a thing or two from another YT channel called "the king of random"
I thought of something today that might make an interesting video, and my first thought was that it's the kind of thing I can see Nate trying. But then… he gives the impression he can do anything.
(Someone linked me to a "primitive technology" ripoff where they pretend to make concrete by baking a bucket of dirt. I want to see somebody find out how much effort it actually takes to make usable concrete from scratch, making all the tools first and digging up all the ingredients. Nate would be my first choice because you know he'd show how many attempts it took to get the mix right)
@@AngelWedge I think How to Make Everything is getting to that point.
@@AngelWedge Concrete is baked limestone. I'm sure that there's some more processing to it, but that's the gist.
Using a condiment bottle to use with the contact cement is an amazing idea!
I've only used contact cement a few times and the brush thing always made it a very unpleasant process.
I tend to like the longer format of videos. Keeps me from clicking around. I love the shells, and the idea for TMNT. I plan to dig into foam building later, but am on a polymer clay phase at the moment.
My ADHD usually gets the best of me on longer videos, so I end up with 18 tabs open of random videos, but this was very interesting, so I was surprised when it ended, even after seeing that it was 25 min, felt like 5, even thou I clicked off once.
Dude, as a fellow foam-crafting enthusiast, I really appreciate the candid personal experiences and what you've learned about parts of the process. I know that contact cement pain all too well.
I tend to spread the sides of the dart cut perpendicular to the face of the foam sheet to help get all the way into particularly narrow angles. A hair dryer works wonders for my impatience with contact cement. Turns that 15-minute wait into like 3 minutes.
My dad and I made my TMNT shell out of cardboard from the dumpster behind the Big Bear grocery. He tossed me over the side and I picked the best pieces 😂.
Hm... This'd be great for an early Dragon Ball Turtle School cosplay as well.
Rockin' that Kame-Sennin 50-100 pound shells!
This is very cool! its rly what i was missing from the old school TKOR
Yea cuz currently TKOR is boring
Second that!
Glad i found this, I've been looking for a good tutorial for what seems like forever, will be starting this soon for my Master Roshi cosplay
Looks like Nate is doing just fine going "solo", 1000 views an hour, not too shabby.
Thank you thank you Nate from the Internet! Exactly what my son needed for his TMNT costume. Easy to follow directions, very clear and resulting costume turned out fabulous. Thanks for helping make my son's first cosplay adventure at Comicon fantastic.
Thank you Nate for being an amazing, inspiring, and wonderful person. I hope you are doing well? 🍻❤️
if i had known how do do this when i was in my 20's i would have done cos play. then again there was not you tube back then.
thanks for showing this off. i think i may try some of these
For anyone making a ninja turtle costume, you can make a very convincing skin texture by stippling on some puffy paint with a sponge brush.
That was so cool. I love the turtle shells you made they look awesome. 👏🐢🐢
much better then the one i made when i was a kid. i used a cardboard box. was not too good at shaping so more boxy than shell shaped. I made a Bo staff out of a old broom handle and some grip tape, and nunchucks out of some string and another handle. i could not decide if i wanted to be Donatello or Michelangelo for Halloween that year
I love the choice of background music in the beginning too, not gonna lie. But overall great build!
classic Nate, a turtle shell
You missed the opportunity to use turtle wax!! I love how much I’ve learned on your channel Nate!
Looks Great , would make a cool shield aswell once your done with the TMNT cosplay. Just Velcro or contact cement on a handle of some sort and grab a sword
This is really cool.
When you said EVA foam my mind went to Punished Props and Bill and Brit Doran. Then you said the word foam smithing and it reinforced it. His foam armor that he did for Dragon Con 2019 was awesome. I got to see it in person at the meetup.
Nate, you should revisit the making knifes out of (blank). You've done wood, done a random piece of re bar, and even obsidian. try ideas like, making one out of concrete, cardboard, glass. ETC
Bro I missed these videos!!! Great to see you doing your thing again!!!
I want one soooo bad for the back of my chair!
my shell is amazing! thanks for this tutorial!
Perfect and just in time for me to make 4 turtle kid's costumes for Halloween 2022! Thanks man!
Fair play Nate this is an awesome guide and project! Might try it with the kids. Really like this build videos it reminds me allot of Adam Savages 1 day builds. Oh and your editing skills have improved so much! (unless you got an editor?)
Epic, man, epic! Also, I’d love to see a sequel to you and calli making throwing knives, but make ninja stars instead!
This will help bring my Zudomon cosplay to life. Thank you!!!! 🙌🏾
Hey Nate, that was awesome! I've been trying to find a shell for my costume! I will give it a try unless I can pay you to make me one! Again great job and thanks for sharing!
Would love to see more cosplay stuff!
I'm big fan of you and Thomson
It’s beautiful! Cowabunga!
Love watching foam builds!
This was awesome 👏🏻
Donny or Leo would be pretty easy to secure because the straps you would want to incorporate to hold the bow or swords would make for a good harness (I'm thinking original toys.)
The other two would be trickier, you'd need hidden straps or some velcro maybe to hold to the top of the shell securely while the belt is the only real strapping. This is fun though, Nate. Definitely make more. If you're doing a full costume I would be interested in seeing how you handle the rest.
Man you are so random, you are like the king of random content
This is so nice, thanks for the tutorial Nate!

Here we go
It's the lean, green, ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doin' ninja things
So extreme, out the sewer, like laser beams
Get rocked with the Shell-shocked Pizza Kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze made the chosen few
Emerge from the shadows, to make their moves
The good guys win and the bad guys lose
Leonardo's the leader in blue
Does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is a fellow, has a way with machines
Raphael has the most attitude on the team
Michelangelo, he's one of a kind
And you know just where to find him when it's party time
Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need
To be one lean, mean, green, incredible team

I’d love to see you do some diy building for the yard/outdoor patio type stuff. I love the variety of your channel. Definitely more cosplay stuff. I just want to watch you make stuff, any stuffs 😆
Thanks for the tip about the gallery glass I’m going to give it a try on my next project
I'm early this time! Love to see foamwork as that's my main hobby ;)
This is cool, simple but very effective
loved the ninja turtles as kid
I love your projects, I just realized I haven't seen your videos in a while, I need to be better at watching your videos.
Ty for the idea. Must have been hard to keep it together considering you were making it for a grown A$$ man. I was looking for ideas to make a costume for the kids, grate work though, looks like you are all fit to set the Foot Clan running.
I'd love to see how you'd approach a build like this in sheet steel... :D Love your epic content! So well made!
for the border, EVA foam noodles/pipe insulation would be a good choice also - less worrying about forming - just slit them open and clamp around the edge - then you just need to sculpt a little with a dremel
Came here to say this! I think the pipe insulation comes in a variety of thicknesses, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something in the ballpark of what we need for the piece. May be more expensive than floor mats, but if it give you more time to finesse the final touches it's well worth it.
And a bonus with the pool noodles is they can be "heat-welded" together - check out @StiltbeastStudios for how to do that.
Just in time for ComicCon
I need to learn how to make a turtle shell and this was the first video I clicked on. Super impressive! I’m literally starting from scratch and feel like I can get there from just your video. Thanks for the excellent demonstration and sharing your skills! Subscribed!
I worked in a tire center for years, we used volcanizing cement to adhear patches and plugs. They make small bristle brushes for laying down thin even coats that may work well for the more narrow spots.
great work nate , tho you are looking like master roshi in the thumbnail
Awesome vid. Definitely making into a ka backpack
came out great, thankz for the tip 👍
Yes! Do more of these.
Love this kind of content
Yooo that looks so good!
I see a turtle hermit cosplay in my future
You could run straps through the foam and cover the other side with the lumps on the back so it would be covered. As you said.. there are a lot of ways to attach the shells.
Or.. there are a lot of ways to make turtle shell... but THIS is how Nate does it. lol.
There may need to be a Punished Props or Odin Makes collab in the future.
Honestly my first thought when i saw the thumbnail was "Is that the 'Great Turtle Shell' shield from Elden Ring?"
Love this Nate. Keep up the great work! Always been a fan.
great build! love the video! keep them coming
Great tutorial! would love to see some more foam crafting/prop/cosplay stuff.. Maybe make the infamous blue shell from mariokart? 😁
My favorite and go to wave vomiting foam is using wood gorilla glue. Works like a charm then you could just shave off the access!
Edit: my favorite way to join foam. Not whatever talk to text thought I said
What kind of typo did I create? This is why you don’t use talk to text man… accessible my ass
Keep up the great work
love the video
Yes!
Hi Nate, I'll leave acomment for you cuz the algorithm likes it!
Awesome!
This should be re made into a survival backpack so yeh please do that so we can all have one. Ps great vid IV only ever seen you from taking over kor vids
Very nice!
I like your fire pit.
Ooo ooo. Nate. Since you’re making turtle shells and likely making an front to the shell (like a ninja turtle) can you show how you would make that kinda chest piece?
I would love to see your take on a dwarven war hammer, as I think that could be quite interesting to watch!
That was pretty cool. Channel is getting a little more personality lately which I really like to see. Now I know how to build out things with foam. Cool :P
Nice build. Might need one from cast aluminum soon ;-)
Weekend Stuff
Great channel bro.
Mebbe measure from coccyx to base of neck plus across the ribcage for whoever the piece is for so you know what size you're working toward?
Also, mebbe velcro strips to mount the shell decoration pieces. This would allow a 'quick change' by having differently coloured (yes, I'm an Aussie) panels, perhaps a metallic or pearlescent finish for a more 'natural' shell appearance. Also if a panel gets damaged it can be swapped out with trying to rip off the contact cement.
it's a good idea to add registration marks to help make sure you are getting the seams to match properly.
I've caught up with your videos recently and I'm loving what you have done on your channel. Your chemistry with Calli and your friends is amazing and I love the jokes and humor that create an awesome working environment. I also really enjoy your unique experiments. It really shows that you love what you do and that's awesome. A little while ago I made the decision to unsubscribe from TKOR and 2KOR because their videos just don't feel that special or entertaining anymore to watch. It made me sad since TKOR was one of my favorite channels of all time due to you and Calli with your fun experiments and amazing chemistry together. You and Calli brought that channel to life for me and ever since you guys got fired from it the videos just don't look or feel as special as you and Calli made them to be even though they could be similar videos that you and Calli have done in the past. I believe that TKOR made a mistake with letting you and Calli go and they'll probably regret not having you 2 amazing people on their channel anymore. It doesn't feel entertaining to watch their videos anymore because it seems to now be more focused on money then entertainment. Regardless, I am so happy that you are still making videos and bringing Calli along every now and then plus still keeping that amazing chemistry you guys had on TKOR that we all love. You are such good people and I'm positive you guys will have amazing success. Keep up the amazing work you've always done and never give up!
EXCELLENT! TUBULAR! RADICAL! PIZZA!
Cowabunga!
Teach me the kamehameha wave, Master Nate-shi
Now get some sunglasses, a bald cap, an orange Hawaiian shirt, and a white goatee and you'd be master Roshi!
Hey you should collab with Punished Props next time you work with foam!
Could we get a video or some pictures of the final 4? Id like to see the complete setup with them strapped on
I love the squeeze bottle you have for the contact cement. How do you keep it from drying out/clogging in there?
Thank you!! I'll be trying to replicate this but using cardboard from some boxes I have laying around the house, as I need a costume made from recycled materials. Wish me luck 😂
if you do make a follow-up video to this, and continue with the TMNT theme, i'd be interested to see how you make Leonardo's _katana_ s, and how you incorporate their holsters into this shell
You should do the expensive vs cheap ingredients spaghetti.
Nate and others who do this Craft could answer, Wouldn't it be a better bond to keep the factory edge [puzzle edge] when gluing to two pieces together? Although you make need to sand a bit to ruff it up! My thoughts are the puzzle edge holds a bit by itself and then there would be more surface area to adhere to.
The contact cement adheres on contact, so getting all the puzzle edges to line up without sticking at weird angles can be tricky. A straight edge is much simpler to keep from touching.
I've seen other channels use paper to keep the contact cement from sticking too early on long straight edges.
Well hey lets get some pizzza and be some ninja turtles to eat more
That was freaking awesome surprised you didn't ask cali to join you for that !?
Idea for a turtle fur suit and fursona
Thank you
Something other than plastidip was used. Nice.
Great videos Nate, just one question. Do you have to score the foam in order for it to stick better? I have seen other tutorials do that.
Master Roshi!
