What this video covers

This tutorial walks through the creation of a Trench Crusade Janissary-style cosplay helmet, combining 3D-printed parts with real gold leaf and hand-painted acrylic details. The helmet model was provided by Galactic Armory and printed on a Bambu X1C. The creator applies gold leaf over the printed surface and finishes it with heavy body Liquitex acrylics to achieve a grimdark aesthetic faithful to the Trench Crusade universe.

Key takeaways

  • Real gold leaf is applied directly to a 3D-printed helmet for a striking metallic finish
  • Liquitex heavy body acrylics are used for detailed hand-painting and grimdark weathering
  • The helmet model was designed by Galactic Armory, making the build accessible to anyone with a compatible 3D printer
  • Combines tabletop miniature painting sensibilities with full-scale cosplay prop construction
