Man, I just looked up "how to make prop crowbar" I didn't expect RU-vid to call out the fact I was gonna cosplay Gordon sghvhsvsdsgsjdvd. Thank you so much for this!! It's gonna be so so helpful!
Paint the middle silver a mistake? Or great idea since a real one might have some weathering showing the metal under the red! I'm going with a great idea.
I need a rotary tool to clean up my swing pilot control box then I will have finally finished a full costume, love all your videos so informative even for doing unrelated projects.
I'm loving the Kim Possible-esque look you've got going on! also, I keep forgetting that foam dowels exist when I'm making props lmao... one of these days I'll remember and save myself some time!
That is really realistic looking! Maybe with a heavy piece of copper wire down the shaft instead of round bar you could do super strength feats by bending a crowbar in half.
Great to see you back Zonbi, looking great as ever. Have been getting back into watching Anime again and been binge watching Fairy Tale. Soon as I saw Erza Scarlet I immediately thought you would be ideal for that one! Just think, loads of armor and weapons to choose from!
Those wire stripper/cutters have those holes in the top to make your life easier. :) They are designed for specific bolt sizes to shear them in half. That means you don't damage the blade part for thinner wires and softer metals like copper and Aluminum. Instead, your thick round stock should likely fit in one hole pair and your hand should struggle less with breaking it. Hope this helps!
You are my favorite cosplayer on RU-vid. With your crowbar "mistake" I think that could have been a happy accident as you could have stippled on the red brown mix to illustrate chipped paint. Lastly I notice you use Vellejo paint, could that be because you are a mini gamer too? Just curious. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for being so positive for the community.
Thanks for pointing that out. I just tried out the link I have for the foam I use and it's working for me. If it's still being weird on your end try googling "TNT cosplay supply" or "Lumins Workshop" Those online stores are my favorite places to get foam nowdays. If you're talking about the blue yoga mats I used to use on some of my builds, you can get that from 5 Below. Hope that helps!
