Costumes, props, and accessories, mostly made from foam! On this channel I will show you how to make my patterns, as well as tips and tricks for getting the best results possible without spending a ton of cash!
That is one of the most beautiful pieces you have made yet. My husband has been trying out 3D printing and is really enjoying it. It is fun to see what we could do with it.
It would give me nightmares drinking tea out of those mugs. For two reasons. 1- Those mugs are minging. 2- Tea is minging. (Its treason for a British person to say this, but there you go !) I use blue stuff all the time for moulding and it is amazing. I get very detailed Motu heads, weapons, etc using the blue stuff. I've even replicated arms and legs for test Motu-style figures. Also perfect copies of star wars 3.5" figure parts. I would advise using Lego and plasticine clay to get even two part moulds, there's tonnes of videos on RU-vid that show how to do this.
Historical armour nerd here. The "poleyn hinges" are called lames! A lame is any of the narrow flexible panels like this, though calling them lames might feel a bit.... uncool.
Hey Chris i just have a quick question about the Ghostbusters proton pack. If i made my pack at 90% scale do i have to change the pvc pipe size or do i just make the size a little bit bigger?
Was that a Cricut Maker you were using? It seems like you ought to be able to do the indents on the decorative rivets on one pass, then cut them on a second. Alternately, maybe you could re-create that process on the laser engraver? Does anyone have any good settings for cutting craft foam with an Explore Air 2? I've see a few RU-vid videos that suggest it's possible (for thin foam sheets), but I've never been able to get mine to work.....
Hi there, Yep it was a Maker that I used. I have been fooling around a bit with the Maker to try and get deep indentations like I get by hand, but I haven't found the magic yet. I can get some indentation, but I'm gonna try a few more things before I give up:) I am actually planning to do some experimenting using the deep cut blade to see if I can get any reasonable results, so I'll be sure to share anything I come up with that might be applicable to the other Cricut machines. I just wish their software was a little friendlier to those of us who like to experiment.....
This roman helmet build came at exactly the right time!! I'm making a cosplay for a character who has a modified fantasy version of a roman helmet and this is the perfect base for it!!
That's so great again! I love to see how you turn simple foam in such realistic and expansive looking items. I wonder why Hollywood hasn't call you yet to become the greatest master of props in tinsel town. 😊
The Ultimate Everything Super Value Bundle. I've never regretted buying it. Just keeps giving :) I have to say this helmet is among the best builds in the package.
I Love your videos. The finished work looks like movie quality and the instructions are clear without being boring. I am looking forward to the 3rd video. These helmets are so cool.
Thanks so much, it's always a bit of a balancing act trying to get all the info I want to share in to the video without rambling on and on..... Thanks for watching!
Ow yeah, what a cool result. Haven't touched any foam for over 2 years, but this makes me wanne start again. It's always the painting that makes me quit on projects..... 😢
Yep, the painting can take up to 50% of the project time sometimes. I kinda like it though, because I don't have to think about anything while I'm doing it.
LOVING that you went for a THRIFTED coat as a basis and used SEWING (and not hot glue or other quicker ways that don't hold well with time) ! And you kept it simple yet effective !
Thanks!! Yeah, even though I use hot glue for my foam patterns, I just really can't ever bring myself to using it on fabric- where sewing is so much better in every way!
"60% power". 60% of WHAT? 1.6W, 5W, 10W, 20W, 40W, or 70W optical power? Without that information, your video is useless. You didn't put the wattage on your test coupon, either. And your link to the product goes to a useless web page that doesn't tell you the wattage. A web page I should not have had to read and one I can't view on the TV I was watching your video on. And that model of laser has apparently been sold with 1.6W, 5.5W, and 10W laser heads and for all I know you have upgraded it. I rewound the video (which I should not have had to do) Since settings were the entire point of your video, this makes the whole video useless.
You are absolutely right, somehow I must have missed putting that vital bit of info in. I'll add it to the video description as soon as I finish typing this. It was a 10W laser.
Just found this channel because Google Chrome thought it knew what I liked...it was absolutely right. Really helpful tips for working with the glue and foam. I'll be sticking around! Subbed 👍🏾
