At least it shows me that i am not the only one who would like to make their own Character in the Star Wars Universe instead of always try to be one of the actual existing ones

@theswissmiss69 4 года назад

Maahr Krell oh interesting. What would your character be like? I think I personally would just make myself a Han Solo costume!☺️

@the_real_lego_commander_co6685 4 года назад

Yeah, actually I have plans of making a version of myself for a Star Wars cosplay, right now I have plans of a jacket design. He’s a smuggler, by the way.

We should have named our fluffy cat Chewie, since she loves chewing plastic.

@FrigginBoomToys 7 лет назад

A lot of the thrift stores near my area have worked out how many people use them for cosplay. During halloween they had people who specifically helped people pick out items for costumes. Like you walked in and said 'I wanna be a pirate for halloween' and they would help you find pirate appropriate clothing. It was really cool.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

That's really awesome!

@jpatt1000 2 года назад

All the colors on this look great together. This costume would also look at home in the classic Battlestar Galactica universe!

@MyrrdynWhitefall 7 лет назад

Without the bracer it looks like it could easily fit into the Firefly universe as well!

@aspektx 7 лет назад

Shane Ramos had the exact same thought.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Good call!

@mcamilleri89 7 лет назад

she could add some ammo straps containing "energy cells" for the blaster and maybe make some thermal detonator belts

@oWAR1OCKo 7 лет назад

Great video as always guys, keep it up. Also I wanted to ask if maybe sometime in the near future you guys could do a video covering techniques for building a "big" costume, think Warhammer 40k Space Marine Armor or Reinhardt from Overwatch, Im a big guy, 6'6, and I can pull off something like that but I want it to look and function good.

@CorprallFrond 7 лет назад

Modifying second hand clothes is something I do a lot for my cosplays and something that I find helps a lot is taking a really watery paint and I just use my hands or a clothe to rub it into leather or vinyl to take away the shiny and make them look a bit more realistic

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

That's awesome. We'll have to test out clothing weathering in a future video.

@FrigginBoomToys 7 лет назад

Yea I second that. It's super easy. A little shoe polish watetered down gives leather a really cool look

@jason.m.carter 3 года назад

GUYS! I don't say this often, but GENIUS! This is such a simple idea. I used to do the same thing for funny costumes, but NEVER thought about making SW costumes out of second hand clothing. Love it!

I can't afford costume prices so I always go the thrift store route. I've be pme convinced that after the general look is in place it's the small details, like bu'uns, that can really sell the look.

Those simple modifications add so much, very inspiring things to try. I'm always jealous of your thrift store when you show it, the toy sections around here are barren! I really like the foam and prop work you two show off, but this was a great topic to show!

@AmyRhubarb 5 лет назад

I can't go to a thrift store or flea market without constantly scanning for useful cosplay items - clothing, toys, fabrics - it's a mindset now! Great video! Building cosplays from scratch is fun, but thrifted cosplays are fun too! There's creativity and crafting in both!

@punishedprops 5 лет назад

Totally! I think many of us "suffer" from this hoarding behavior. I've definitely been thankful for my strange collection of found items many many times.

@kstarwalker4905 6 лет назад

Hey...thanks for the tips...I for one agree with you about second hand stores and army bags. I have been Collecting nerf guns, army issue bag, and any other SiFi looking idems and modify them with painting and grinding chunks out of them. I have come up with my own paint and non-paint mixtures by using nail polish or other makeup supplies.

@Cy1701e 3 года назад

The thermal plastic used in tactical holsters is Kydex just incase you didn't know tho I'm sure you do both of you are superb makers

@LonChaneyJrfan52 7 лет назад

That was really cool to watch. I'm just getting into modifying clothing and just cosplaying something other than a mascot style creature suit so it's really neat to see what all can be done. I've found some neat things so far though. I've gotten a few belts from the early 90s that I put on a hat for a nice kind of voodoo witchdoctor-y feel. One I've been thinking of making into a collar for a African inspired design. I've also gotten a few suit jackets I've modded into tailcoats and a pillbox hat that I'd like to make a hat block out of since that was the main thing that appealed to me about it. I joked to my grandma that I had gotten her a new easter hat when I brought it home.

@RichardHopkinsLobosSolos 7 лет назад

The thermoplastic that's generally used for custom holsters is called Kydex. It's probably a bit tougher than Worbla, but I'm not sure since I haven't done a comparison.

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

At some point we'll have to get some Kydex and give it a try.

@evolvingskills5903 7 лет назад

Awesome video with lots of different tricks and tips and techniques.Using that Worbla for the holster was pretty cool, the stuff they use for regular guns is called Kydex, but would be way overkill for a prop. I'd like to try working with both of them someday. Thanks for all the great videos you guys make!

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

Yeah we want to try out Kydex too!

@lycoris7285 7 лет назад

I find it interesting that you use clips instead of pins for with pins you can sew much closer to the foot without taking the pin out. You can't do that with the clips. Sewing closer to the foot being a beginner sewer would be helpful to create straighter lines

@punishedprops 7 лет назад

There are pros and cons to clips vs pins for sure. Clips are nice because you can work so quickly without fear of jabbing yourself.

@mekniwassime2098 7 лет назад

@mekniwassime2098 7 лет назад

i think there is something missing in this costume, you need to add some armor parts to the hand with the bracer cuz alone it looks a bit bulky and out of place, maybe some shoulder pads or an elbow guard or both (sorry if getting advices from ppl who knows almost nothing about prop making (me xD) annoys you because after all you are the professionals but i just have those ideas after watching your videos)

@linneascameraroll 4 года назад

i agree with the zipper statement, however buttons i feel seem authentic

Yeah it just depends on the source material. Star Wars is famous for not having visible closures, with a few exceptions.
