You Can Use XPS Foam To Create Awesome Sci-Fi Interiors 

XPS foam is such a fantastic and versatile material for prop building! Thanks for the HOW-TO, I love the idea of using shop towels for texture.

Bro that Mod Podge container is massive!! 🤣 I need one...LOL!! Thank you for share B!!!

Man this was so cool. Have been debating on turning a small hallway into a Star Wars themed look and might attempt something like this for wall panels. So dang rad

Weathering always brings things to life. Always trust the process of it is going to look weird until it doesn't

I have seen different foam techniques for the pad look but this is fantastic well done ROOM team!

New to the channel.Absolutely.Amazing.I can't believe I haven't seen this yet. If people only knew the amount of time you put into your work, beautiful.

Great texture!

Neat stuff, thanks for sharing.

Cómo siempre usted me asombra y me deja mudo 😮 es un artista. Le envié un correo electrónico con mi pequeño trabajo de la puerta de mi habitación. Y éste vídeo de su maestría me ha ayudado con ideas. Un abrazo desde España canarias islas

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed tutorial. More please.

Awesome looking. It seems pretty easy to replicate. Two questions: What color and brand of paint do you use to paint the pads? How do you secure the pads to the wall? Thanks man.

Nice man, thanks for sharing. That section is looking amazing!

I love this Geek-e-cation episodes, the final look of the project is amazing 👏👏

Another great video and tutorial! Thanks for sharing your process again for these Brian

Watching someone do the “pads” takes you back to the time you did the “pads”, #ifyouknowyouknow lol Thanks for video!❤

Looks great 👍. I'm curious if you've ever tried a bed sheet or something similar instead of shop towels so you can cover them with a single piece of material, maybe with relief cuts for the corners?

This is incredible. I can see this being an extremely versatile technique for a load of different applications and looks. Thanks for sharing!! This is incredible. What are your thoughts on using a hot wire cutter for the foam to make the sanding faster?

What about texturing the foam by rolling a tinfoil ball or a rock on it's surface before applying the paper towels?

For the full size displays I'd probably prefer some kind of upholstery foam so it's functional.

These detailed build videos are great! Thanks for showing us. Question, how did you attach the foam too the wall? may of missed it.

It cool wow

I think you need one industrial, greeblie filled, heavily weathered, riveted panel somewhere with a human skull with cybernetic eye embedded into the wall and an Imperial Aquilla framed by a gothic arch. As an ode to Warhammer 40k.

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Nice. I may have to try something similar using high density foam rubber with fabric. Keep your fingers crossed for me. There's a project I have wanted to do for almost 50 years.

love it.. I wonder if you could use something softer?

Love the tutorial ❤😊❤

How are you adhering the pads to the wall I was thinking of using command strips

Another great video

Amazing video!

Like it!

Can you come over to Northern Utah and do about 200 of these. I see a mess my wife will comment on that will have projectiles.

It’s been a while since you loaded the original. I forgot, what are you attaching that to the actual display with? Liquid Nail? or something mechanical screwed through from the other side. Thanks brother! You two keep up the great work.

I have a question instead of using shop towels. What about putting canvas? Can I get away with that or you don’t recommend that. I like the idea cause it seems like it was soundproof from room two as well. It would have two purposes answer my question thank you.

Does the mod podge and shop towels strengthens the foam any?

Just keep in mind XPS is highly flammage and releases toxic fumes while burning...

I find these pads so sexy looking. Can you use pva glue to apply the paper towel or does it have to be mod podge ?

How durable is this? Like if someone were to fall into it, would it snap? I've used XPS foam in the past for props but I'm always super careful with it because it snaps so easily!

Is this a re-upload? I'm sure I saw this a day two ago.

just an FYI, because there is seeing things on tv/movies, and there is experiencing them in reality. My job sometimes takes me into the bowels of ships. Not cruise liners, but lakers, tug boats, war ships etc. We've all seen the Star Trek Shake, where they get blasted with a photon torpedo and fly out of their chairs are a hurt, and everyone laughs. I don't laugh anymore, because those ships are SOLID METAL! They HURT! You smash your legs off of the stairs, which are increddddibly steep btw So those pads, are an absolute necessity If you were theoretically hit with a photon torpedo, on one of those boats, you would quickly find out how much solid steel walls HURT! And that Star Trek Shake is far more realistic than we've ever given it credit for

I mean this as a complement but has anyone told you you look remarkably like Danny Devito?

Can you do my house please:)

Would it not be easier to use a leather padded board? This seems to be a lot of wasted time and effort because it takes to long and it's to flimsy and can easily be destroyed. A leather padded board will hold for much longer.

LOL! I like that! Homemade plywood long board sanding block. Hey, when it works it really works, and that's how you get the job done. Well, I have another problem with my humor, I sometimes think movie lines, books, and music. Like Chris Rea's song Working On It. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xPR7RF2haDU.html
