I just think your Helmet is amazing especially as a big time Magneto fan, I loved his Dark Phoenix helmet, I was wondering if you could give us a link to the file, because I may have found one and it doesn’t seem to work, any help would be amazing keep up the great work!
@@nolancleroux3582 thank you! This is my favourite design for sure. I've had a look and it seems currently the seller Yosh Studios has removed their work from Etsy and removed their website as well. You may be able to direct message on Instagram to see if they are still willing to sell files.
Just commented a congratulations on the Warner job on a previous video before i watched this one, so sorry to hear about your experience 😞 keep your head up, you are a fantastic designer!
All of your projects of 2023 are fantastic, but those nazgul gauntlets, those are absolutely stunning! Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite franchises that I don't see a lot of prop builders make videos on. Christ is King, and a (belated) congratulations on working for Warner bros on the Harry Potter merch! Gonna check out that pendant you made!
@@Crafter_23 Darker colour is Rustoleum Royal Blue, and the lighter one Krylon Ocean Blue, or RAL5000 and RAL5015. As it was mixing paint brands I was sure to leave about a week between each colour to minimise any chance of a bad reaction
@@zachm7595 give it a go! Can get similar results with silver spray paint and black acrylic paint for sure. The powders help for the rust effect, but can also be done with brown and orange paint
@@connorbrooks8141 it's for my own cosplay, but based on the one seen in Dark Phoenix, which is the one Magneto originally took from Shaw in First Class, but with some grime and age added to it
@@alexhetherington8028 I usually sand first, then UV resin the whole thing, repeat etc. On this one I tried the spot puttying the whole helmet to see if it made the finishing easier. It wasn't any better than just rounds of resin, sanding and touching up deeper areas with the putty. With the resin I usually use disposable sponge brushes, and for the spot putty modelling tools
@@BucketheadStudios interesting,I'm just working on ordering a greeblie to be printed for my star wars control panel wall art but I'm afraid to sand it in case I ruin the detail. Sanding is scary on a 3d print ha ha
@@tonyedmundson-1907 could be a problem with the g-code, maybe try reslicing the model. Or depending how bad it is, you could fix it afterwards with sanding and filler maybe
Hi, no I'm afraid I'm not taking any commissions at the moment. The file I printed was from YoshStudios on Etsy, good accurate model if you have access to a 3d printer
For those of us following along at home, the best way to deal with doubled over leather is to scythe it's thickness down with a scything knife. Then wet, bend and press.
@@jackmcmahon6964 oh yeah definitely! Very sturdy and well made, excellent fun to swing around. As you say, I wouldn't want to try and hit or cut anything, but absolutely won't fall apart from just playing. It does have a semi sharp blade, and a very sharp point though, so be careful if you do!
I've tried finding the hands online but have had zero luck without paying a lot. Have to settle for alien hands with no talons, so I need to figure that out. But you did an awesome job!
Ah, I recall when you got the WB job and you regretfully said you had to stop making your own work and selling on Etsy because of the job's contract provisions. Very sorry you got mistreated at the job. The same thing has happened to many of us. Good luck in whatever you do going forward.
You did a fantastic job on this Dan. I have a half scale predator mask that's been sitting in my cupboard for about 5 years just waiting for me to build it into a bust but ive been busy with other projects and the prospect of sanding it when i eventually get round to it is daunting ha haha. How long have you owned a 3d printer ?
