Thank you!! This is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for. I’m building a spaceship themed escape room and I need more texture and details on the walls 😊

My pleasure. Please post your results!

GREAT idea!! Just one thought. If you add some spray foam sealer/insulation into the lid, you can make it more sturdy and ridged. ;)

Excellent! I love it! Just thinking about it you could fill it with spray foam to remove the flexibility. I bet you could also put aluminum tape on the inside, pray it with foam, then use a screwdriver handle to dent and distress it until it cracks and shows the tape. Lots of possibilities!

THIS IS AMAZING

I’ve seen that tray piece get used for this really often, it’s almost like we’ve created our own universe with common greeblies 😂 and those tubes would work really well for gone droid legs

Spraying inside... genius. Thank you!

Excellent! Subscribed! This is what I want to learn how to do. I also want to learn how to do the electronic stuff with my control panels like you!⚡️💚⚡️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This is how I want to live in my home.

That trick with the silver is super creative

Your tip about painting the inside silver.... major time saver. Wish I saw this video earlier. Thanks for posting.

Excellent work! God bless!

These are some awesome props. The keypad one could actually be a good burglar deterrent. Put it outside your door with a scrolling display that says something scary about how an improper code entry will automatically trigger the household defense system, and burglars might think twice about trying to break in!

Really cool!!

Just found your channel. Awesome tip, thank you!

Welcome!

Wow, very cool sir.

Digital Name tag is a good idea. I got a bunch of those off Ali Express for stuff like that. Just found your channel. Subscribed! ❤️👍🏼

Making somethings outta nothing! Awesome!

Dope stuff man.

Thank you so much for taking the time to walk us through step-by-step. I also appreciate you leaving the links to materials that you used! Keep up the great work!

For weathering / distressing the outer grey paint, try a fork or metal spatula for scratches or streaks, abrasions, and for smaller wear and abrasions, try a green Scotch kitchen scrubber pad, or similar. Also try a toothbrush or a small scrub brush and see what works best. I'd think just doing glancing spots where it would be most likely to get wear, such as from touching, keypresses, scrapes from spacesuits or cargo loading, etc. -- Love the tips. I am not handy, but I'll keep this in mind.

I was seriously mindblowned by the spraying inside idea! Thanks!

Love it! I'm so making this for my space! Thanks Rob!

Dudeeee amazinn idea

Another great video Rob!! May the force continue to be with you.....always!

Phenomenally creative! Can never get enough of the weathered scifi aesthetic.

Fantastic! I never thought Subway could be so beneficial. Thank you for all the info.

brilliant

Hi Rob, brilliantly simple...simply brilliant! Thanks for a great idea and video.

Really clever and well executed! Thanks for sharing.

it's so cool, really adds space to the space :-D This is pushing me to finalize my HIC stuff ! thanks rob

A plastic tray from Subway, and I thought I was just being stupid. I had two different trays, the same material as this one, but not this tray. I threw them away. I saved them a while, then threw them away, thinking I was just being stupid saving them. Wish I had them now Thank you so much for the video

Thanks for posting this video... you've given some great ideas.

Wow this is awesome! I'm doing something similar, I'm so happy to get these tips from you and how you did yours.

Well this has impressed me.This will help me with both my model making and escape room props in the future.

Well done! They look great!

Awesome ideas! Gonna have to try some when I start my first build

Finally! Power Converters from Toshi Station! Great ideas and video!

This is so rad. I want to do this type of stuff with my kid's room and my music room. Definitely looking into getting some of these containers and experimenting. Thanks for the excellent vid!

Hi Rob, wow great props! I'm a huge fan of making workshops feel like another universe. I think I'll have to go to Subway soon!

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing

That's awesome, Rob!

So cool. Thanks for the inspiration.

Great weathering tip. Deserves more likes!

I love your work, It is very inspiring!

Great ideas, those nametags have become pretty popular in prop making.

Love it, thanks, great project.

I'm working on a room like this. I'm using half of a discarded rolling, metal suitcase. Yours looks great.🤖👌

Very awesome!

So awesome!

OMG!!! You are amazing!! Can't wait to do the same thing to some space themed projects. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring us 🎉🎉

Dude, that was cool :) Thanks.

From lightsabers to other props, everything that comes off your hands is a work of art. Keep it up Mr. Petkau! P.S. I dig the beard

Crazy good video

Aurubesh was a veeeeerrry nice addition to the nametag!!!!!

Great! I'm working on my sound studio/space pod. 🦎

This is super cool. I can’t help but want to run to the local subway.... haha

really good ideas, :D

Ha ha, this is genius and looks pretty good.

"Subway, eat space"!

FUN.TASTIC.....

Just found your channel today and am really enjoying your builds ! BTW what type of paint did you use on that red handle? really looks like anodized aluminum!

@MadcowGenesis

Thanks - and welcome! If I recall I think I powdercoated the metal handle. But you can achieve a similar effect with transparent red automotive paint, and a flat clear coat.

Do that door next!

What do you have powering the digital name tag? If rechargeable how long does it last?

@MadcowGenesis

Жыл бұрын

It has an internal rechargeable battery (USB). I only charge it once a year or so. But I do not have it on very often.

This may be a very "basic" question, but how do you get those plastic subway trays? Is there a specific thing you have to order?

If you like weathering you try blackwashing. You'll never go back once you try it.

I wonder why plastic trays have these details in them
