@christinadauphine857 9 месяцев назад

I love this! I do wish this existed a few years ago though *sigh*. I had to costume some characters for an "Under the Sea" VBS skit that included a deep-sea diver and a turtle. I had just discovered you (this was back in 2019), so I bought the bundle (no regrets) and made the deep-sea diver helmet. That was my first time working with foam and I ended up loving it. I decided that foam would be the best way to do the turtle costume too, so I made up my own pattern for a shell, but it's nowhere near as good as yours!

@LostWax 9 месяцев назад

Awww, too bad! I bet yours still looked pretty fantastic though!

@astrolepetitrobot8632 8 месяцев назад

very nice! Thank you! Perfect for Bowsette's shell :)!

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

Yes!! I was thinking of that when I made the pattern- in fact if you use the dotted cutout lines that should give a slightly more Bowser vibe (though I haven't actually tried it yet:)

I immediately see other uses-like if your kids want to be Koopas…or for the Finding Nemo Musical that my son’s school is performing this winter… I love how versatile your patterns are! I recently used parts of your diver helmet to create a crazy bubble nitrous helmet for the dentist in a production of Little Shop of Horrors. Buy the Super Value Bundle, folks, you won’t ever regret it.

@novocaine2279 8 месяцев назад

@christphern 9 месяцев назад

Rather than straps, maybe a plastron (front or bottom part of the shell) to give it the whole look. :) Also some TMNT 1990 texture to the shell would be cool to see.

@LostWax 9 месяцев назад

Good ideas. I'll see what I can do.

@sabrepinkt 9 месяцев назад

These are great! I made a shell about 10 years ago from Cardboard and caulk. Similar pattern pieces were cut out but this would be more durable. My daughter still has the cardboard on and got Kevin Eastman's signature on it. Would love to see how you paint and attach the straps in case I have to make another one. :D

@andrewlee3037 8 месяцев назад

Great tutorial! I wonder if you sprayed the whole thing with Flex-Seal afterwards, would it help make the shell sturdier? or would a product like that have a bad reaction on foam? I've only tried it on paper mache, and it works amazing!

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

Hmmm, I've never used flex seal so I can't really say. Anyone else have experience with this?

@BALES5000 8 месяцев назад

FlexSeal won't harden the parts like say fiberglass and resin would. It's a thick rubberized coating, so the foam is still pliable. If a rubberized underlayment for paint is what you are after, I recommend Plasti-dip over Flex Seal as it's closer to a paint and has a bit of "flow out" or "self-level". My technique is to heat seal with a heat gun, Plasti-dip as a filler/primer coat, then paint. Note: putting the can of Plastidip in some warm water for 5ish minutes helps it flow nicely. I've used it on several EVA based customs/props with much success. I'm on Instructables under the username -BALES- if you want to see examples - TMNT Mikey, Marvin the Martian, Ghostbusters, pumpkin heads, etc.

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

You definitely don't want to burn it- ie if there's smoke coming off it. That's pretty much good advice for any plastic. If you are just heating it up so it's flexible, you should still wear a respirator just in case.

I loved your shell design, but I was wondering if you had one that had a breastplate as well. And perhaps if it was one that if you get caught in a torrential downpour you could pull your arms and head in, push up on the shoulders extending it enough to lay down on the ground and draw your legs in to curl up in the fetal position until after the rain has passed. Having been homeless before and not having proper transportation these are the kinds of things I think of. If I go out in that costume I might have to walk miles to get home to get out of the rain, or to get to where I'm going. So such a modification would be quite valuable to me. If you don't have such a design could you make one please and thank you.

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

@JonMadsen70 9 месяцев назад

Those blades are snap offs...you just threw away 7 blades. You just need to snap the tips off. Love your videos!

@LostWax 9 месяцев назад

We’ll, I actually don’t throw them away, I resharpen them and use again. Takes a bit of practice but saves buying blades. Good point though!

@crazylegsmurphy 8 месяцев назад

Someone has mentioned the blade right? You don't replace the entire blade on those knives... you break off one or two of the dull ends.

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

I would normally just sharpen those blades, I just changed it to make a point:)

@crazylegsmurphy 8 месяцев назад

@@LostWax But why? The blades are perforated like that so you can break off the dull ones and have sharp ones ready to go. Replacing the entire blade or sharpening it is confusingly unnecessary.

@LostWax 8 месяцев назад

@@crazylegsmurphy Well, when I cut thick foam, especially at an angle, I have the blade out quite far, so probably 3 of those sections would be dulling at the same time. That would only give me a couple snaps before the blade was used up. So, say on one of these shells I would go through 2 or 3 full blades. By sharpening the blade as I go, I can always have a long, sharp blade and one blade will last me years. I keep my sharpening stone beside me and it only takes a couple of seconds to touch up the blade when it needs it.

@angelademeritt6361 8 месяцев назад

It makes a hell of a mess (and wear a filter mask) but a dremel tool with a barrel sander attachment can cut down on time sanding. You have to be careful, though, or you can gouge your foam.
