What this video covers

SKS Props walks viewers through constructing a Trench Crusade New Antioch Sallet helmet entirely from lightweight EVA foam, using freely available templates from the creator's website. The build covers cutting, heat-forming, and gluing foam pieces into a wearable helmet shell, followed by sealing and a multi-stage acrylic paint process to achieve a grimdark, battle-worn finish. Gilding and texture medium add convincing metallic depth to the completed piece.

Key takeaways

  • Free downloadable foam templates for the New Antioch Sallet helmet are available on the creator's website
  • EVA foam is shaped with a heat gun and refined with a Dremel and hot knife for crisp detail
  • Plasti-Dip and Flexbond are used as sealers before painting to prep the foam surface
  • Liquitex heavy body acrylics combined with pumice medium and gilding create a grimdark metallic look
  • The tutorial is explicitly designed to be accessible to both beginners and experienced makers
