That patience is a choice! When you feel yourself wanting to just push through and get it done, take a deep breath! Think about what would be fun and cool to add. you'll get there!

If you want a really easy way to weather paints with chips and the like, hairspray and salt. The salt sticks to the hairspray and won't harm your undercoat, then you airbrush over the top and use warm water to take the salt off while leaving the top coat pocked and damaged. You can use coarse and fine salt to vary the effect and it gives a very natural look overall

Sweet music for the foot pedal! You and Evan & Katelynn get the best soundtracks

Great vid! Love how laid back and cool you work and explain everything!

Floating ghost glue is extra laughy! I love the tone of your videos.

I remember having an old ghost trap toy as a kid, I think it was a rubber step pad with a hose that opened the doors with air? Pretty sure I recall glow in the dark plastic on the doors, the whole thing was blue I think, was branded from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.

I recently watched your videos on making armor from foam, great and fun looking stuff! I've also been rewatching the series Stargate SG-1 and have had a great time pausing the video to inspect the Jaffa armor on screen. After watching your videos detailing how that armor was made, it has been very entertaining to pick out the flaws / repairs / paint effects and to watch it flex in ways armor shouldn't.

Isn't it amazing how you start seeing the way things are put together?

Great video! Just used it for my spirit trap, which is my first repaint project. I did a layer of translucent UV reactive paint between the metallic and top coat so that my chipping would glow in a black light.

I would just love to see a tutorial for portable smoke machines to fit inside props. Vape pens, dry ice, pond misters. I've loved the LED lighting installations in props!

The fact that you not only MADE a thing and FILMED it but also included on-theme Easter eggs is some super next level sh*t! Kudos!

Pretty epic ending! Love it!

A great fun build and video. On a side note, it would be a cool follow up to build a small removable smoke machine (maybe out of a vape pen or model railroad smoke unit) for all those props that need a little smoke in photos/videos... and so Bill doesn't have to cough every time a vid needs some atmosphere...

It’s doable using a modded vape pen but you’ll need to add a small pump to get the smoke going. like a pump and motor from a breast milking machine - nice and small and will fit in the trap nicely with the vape.

Looks great! One idea you might do is have the smoke machine hooked to the foot pedal and go through the hose connectors. Then have the foot pedal activate the pump to push it through. Also, maybe a servo on the bottom to make it jiggle a few times after it closes. Looks as awesome as always, great job!

If you're ever looking for super bright LEDs that are ready for power and easy to mount I would suggest "Demon Eyes." They are typically used in a projector when you retrofit vehicle headlights for an accent color. Low power and super bright chips!

If you like, you might cut and rotate the batteries 90 degrees, then replace the cover with a few inches of aluminum garage door seal track (cut a resister into it). It's pretty cheap, and 'almost' accurate

Oooohhhh Fancy special effects ;) I dig it 👌

awesome as always!!

FINALLY getting around to modding mine. #1 Philips. I thought it used much smaller but not so much. Using the same socket head screws but the plastic version of them work well, really keeps the weight down when every oz counts. They look identical when painted black plus easy to just cut them and superglue in place vs tapping the hole. Looks the same but never know the difference unless your actually needing the threads to hold something down. That Vector plate covering the batteries has to go, I can't stand that. I'm assuming you put the quick disconnect male end off center due to that case split.

Really cool, I want it
