Dude.. you are insane. Your ability to simplify in your problem solving is incredible - like the lenses. Nice.

[a.j.merrifield]

Hey, so a quick tip with printing resin: if you rinse off the part in warm water before removing your supports they will pull off MUCH easier and not leave the large divots behind that you got when pulling them off.

[soldium]

The lenses are such a good idea. Youve inspired me to start printing my own armors and take up 3d printing as a hobby. Thanks from a fellow Airman!

[Eythor]

Your skills are improving a lot. Great work Frank and an absolutely gorgeous paint job!

[marshallelliott]

LETS GOOO blue beetle is my favorite hero I could not wait for Frank to hop onto the subject and see how well he did and I have to say it is amazing.

[clayhurley]

Loved you watching Wren’s Pluto video! That’s was a cross over I didn’t expect to see 😂

[hughessay]

Looks great! When you make tight fitting pockets for magnets add a small through hole in the center of the pocket to allow the air (and excess glue) to escape. Also, you might want to invest in an airbrush/compressor. It's easy to get your spatter effect.

[sparrow]

You can hold a popsicle stick in front of the paint stream to get different kinds of speckles. Depending on the angle of the stick, the amount of the stick in the stream, and the amount of paint you allow to collect on the face of the stick will produce different effects. This trick can be used with H.V.L.P. paint guns also but it can be a lot more finicky.

Ok I want to say thank u for posting this. I just got a resin printer. But I have be struggling on how to print on it. So I’m glad that ur stating the resin journey because a lot of ur videos helped me with filament 3d printing

[averagejoe]

for the jaw add to loop eyes and use elastic strips to let it slide out and back in to place

Do3d actually modeled the buster sword, so there’s another project to look forward to.
Great job on the helmet btw!

[theresinsamurai]

sadly the suite fx was the best part of the film~

great job sizing it

what cosplayers forget is that it needs to ne uncomfortably tight to look right and not end up bobble heading you look

magnets should never be added before the finished paint is complete otherwise the magnetism can affect the metallics and how they lay down
if you want them not to show in the finish, add them last

hopefully you top coated the blacks in that same satin 2K so they match the rest of the helmet

airbrushing is the best way to get the fly specking that was used on the original
low pressure splatter with each of the same colors you used would yield that hero like finish

[TheBloodyTalon]

I just moved to Aus and left all my printers in the Philippines. Watching your videos really helps me with my withdrawal syndrome (withdrawal from 3d printing 😅)

[ssdaniel]

Once again hit of the park! great job brother!! Hope you enjoyed your trip congratulations well deserved

[TheRich]

Amazing!

I don't know what you do for a day job, but you would absolutely kill at prop work!

Hope the cruise went ago! Lol

[Grillbysans]

I just got into 3D printing and I am looking forward to making these really cool helmets with my FDM printer! I will be watching you more and more!

[mikemccabe]

I’m going to have to print out the blue beetle helmet and the rest of the suit. Thanks Frank for another great video

[TheWolfWorks]

Went on my 1st cruise to Mexico not too long ago! glad to see you back and killing another piece, this looks movie accurate and that is top notch paint job! resin printer def on my wishlist now.

[KevinMalliaTheMaker]
