This Old FX Shop: Dredd Helmet
Welcome to a new Tested series, featuring our very own Frank Ippolito! Twice a month, Frank will walk us through building, painting, or modifying model kits and custom sculpts. In this episode, we learn how to clean up a helmet casting and paint it to look like a prop from one of our favorite recent action films!

OMG, YES! That’s all I have to say about that. 🙂
Great episode, super excited that its planned as a regular series for every 2 weeks 🙂
dont get too crazy! sometimes my schedule gets hectic.
I know, i know, it can’t always work out, still, happy to see its not just a one-off 🙂 Maybe can be the the substitute teacher when that happens 😀
FANTASTIC!-Frank, you’re the Norm Abrams of the Effects World-master craftsman indeed!
This is precisely the type of content I love. Thanks guys! 🙂
let’s get crazy!
Wrong post… oops
Couldn’t help but laugh at his first mistake. specially with the slo mo and that deep slow voice ha lol. Nevertheless a excellent insite into machining, and just goes to show even someone like Mr. Savage can still make school boy errors. Though guess he isn’t a proper machinist…
Love it! Hope to see more content like this in the future 😀
cheers! i just need a cool old-timey logo for “This Old FX Shop”
HAHAHA
I guess I’ll have to try roto-casting when the need arises…
I want to thank you guys for turning me on to using foam.
I was flummoxed as to how I was going to make a hat (from the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”) for my daughter’s cosplay. When I saw you using the foam to make a helmet some months back, I knew how to proceed.
What I have is still “beta” but it is getting closer to what I would consider good looking.
I’d love to see more stuff like this.
Thanks Tested, I love the tutorial posts.
This is awesome, I’ve been wanting to do a Boba Fett helmet for sometime but never really knew where to start but hopefully I can use most of what I’ve seen here 🙂 Great job Frank.
AWESOME! This is going to be a great series. Very much looking forward to more content like this on Tested.
Excellent! Nice to see Tested getting back on course. This is why I joined.
This is a great idea for an ongoing series. Love it. Can’t wait to see more.
a product I like to use for spot putty is Perfect Plastic Putty. It’s water soluble, so instead of sanding and potentially ruining the surface I can just wash it off.
Love These
Great content guys, thanks.
Great content guys, thanks.
I was always totally perplexed about how people achieved the whole “metal under scratched paint” effect until you guys showed the toothpaste technique in a previous vid. For how simple it is, it creates an awesome look.
Thanks for the great content, as always.
Since you mentioned it, I would love to see you guys paint the Rocketeer helmet you made.
Superb video, always fun to see the tricks and skills used to achieve these builds. If you are going down the ‘This Old’ route then you gotta go full Norm and talk about shop safety at the beginning *taps glasses*
It’s almost like you have a day job or something.
I wish I’d be remotely close to be able to do something like this. Great work and fantastic explanations of what exactly you are doing to the helmet … Awesome.
This is great, this really inspires me. But if you’re going to do all that work on a thing, the video needs to end with somebody wearing it!
Amazing video, more like this coming? Thanks guys.
Hi. What is the circular base that are using to mix the baby power and glue?
frankippolito Hey, would be really handy if we could get a link on where to buy this kit or how to find it.
