How to Make The Sandman Helmet Part 1 - Free PDF Templates - Netflix Dream Cosplay Tutorial

How to Make a Sandman Cosplay Helmet. One of my bucket list builds is Dream's helmet from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. This comic book series is absolutely fantastic and I am excited to see the live action version on Netflix. In this video I show the steps I took to create Sandman's helmet out of Eva HD Foam. If you would like to build one as well I have Free PDF templates available on my website. This helmet is a mix of several comic book references as well as the Netflix version. In part 1 I cover the fabrication of Dream's helmet and in part 2 I will go over all of the steps it takes to paint and weather the piece.

******* To Print Read This ********
To print the templates open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader (free version) then click "poster" in the page size settings that will scale the PDF properly over multiple sheets regardless of where you live or your paper size.

I am BAFFLED that you crafted this by hand. I kind of expected this to be 3D printed - super freakin cool. Great introduction to the channel, can’t wait to see more from you!

[GreatApeThoughts]

Glad to see you so happy with this build. I saw your video on burnout, which I'm working through myself. So it's nice to see you getting out there and enjoying your work.

This thing looks absolutely bananas so far. Fantastic job. Can't even imagine the frustration getting this thing right! I'm sure it will look even more sick painted up!

Thank you for sharing this process! I've been planning a cosplay of Mr. Dream for a while and was trying to wrap my head around how I wanted to do that funky helmet. Gonna use some of the tips and tricks here in planning mine. Cheers!

Just found this, and it's super super cool! Can't wait for part 2! I thought the Netflix series was phenomenal, and this helmet is so cool! It's my favorite out of the three items.

Your finished creation is so appealing and intriguing to especially the spine you've scuplted from foam can't wait for part 2 where I can see the Sandman helmet is painted

This is absolutely amazing! Great job and thank you for sharing your process. I'm a sculptor and big Sandman fan, I'm looking forward to building this piece.

Awesome build, thank you for sharing Steve!! Can wait to see that mask in action on the up coming show.

[GamingDad]

Wow 😮 It's nice when you make stuff that's a bit easier and is more for everyone, but you really shine when you let yourself loose and start all that detailing. Great build!

I've been thinking of drawing Morpheus for a few days now and knew his helm would likely be quite difficult. Seeing your interpretation gives me hope that I can do it.

[izabelaletonja]

This was so helpful and amazingly detailed. The helmet looks awesome - thank you so much for sharing your work process!

[TheSmugglersRoom]

crazy skills man, this is a great build. Can't wait to see the painting

[blizatrex]

Looks awesome so far. I can see the spine template getting some usage for other projects.

[jahrose]

Have you ever considered of making a skeleton? You are a amazing artist, thank you for all your videos!

[rikaika]

I'm hoping to go to SiliCon again this year to show you what I've done with your templates and products. Thank you yet again! The Hellboy mask and Loki crown were given as gifts, but this one will be all mine.

[samoose]

That looks so cool. Love how you made the spine

[RichRox-TV]

That looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial with us.
