This works especially well for objects that are cold to touch to begin with, like galvanized metal, ceramic or stone. Completes the illusion.

I really enjoy these kinds of videos, watching something come to life. Its inspiring me to get into this kind of skillset.

can't wait to try that paint in the warm water trick

Awesome video!! So many great tips and techniques. Can't wait to use all the great nuggets of wisdom I've learned from you on the 100K subs build a long!

rewatching this old vid makes me think you should put together a vid of different ways to paint "realistic" steels. Shiny steel, tarnished steel, darkened steel and the various ways and results you get.

You are awesome dude! That blade looks perfect. Thanks for your instructions!

love to watch you work that magic sir. You're my hero :3

Awesome Job! however my favorite part had to be when you said "the tribble worth of fur" as if a tribble was an actual measurement of an amount of fur

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm new to Cosplay. I'm more of a sewing fiend and wanted to kick up my costume repertoire with adding some Cosplay techniques. I just recently purchased two of your digital copies of "Foamsmith" and "Painting & Weathering" I thought I'd like the digital copy, but I'm an old fashion dude and must have a tangible book to read and study.....hahaha. Yup, buying the books soon! Thank you again for sharing your awesome gifts. #payingitforward

lookin' good!

Thank you for posting this, I found it really helpful for some Klingon armor I'm currently in the "test" phase of making. I found the color build up technique effective in achieving an aged but well-cared-for steel look.

Fantastic! Have fun with your build.

Thanks for showing this. Going to give it a go on my sword I've just finished. Should be better than some silver spray and weathering.

I learned the hard way that some spray paints will interact with other paints and ruin your work. If you're using different paints, test them on something first.

Ah! Perfect painting reference! I'll be giving this a try, sans dirt and rust, for my Titanfall 2 Data Knife!

Do it yourself, visit the Woodglut website and find out how.

LOL @ the tribble amount of fur. Excellent Star Trek reference my man.

If you grind EVA alot (and I think itxs a safe assumption that you do) or PVC, especially the gray kind, save some of the powder to mix with the superglue. Especially gray PVC powder mixes with superglue well and dries to a consistency like hard plastic. It's excellent for filling in gaps like that and it sands smooth. I've used it to fill in holes I didn't like and the patch is barely noticeable and permanent. EVA dust works well too.

Great video! Is there any advantage to using the flat Krylon camo paint you used, versus a gray Tamiya Primer for example?

awesomee!!! :D

thank you so much. as you said, remember to leave a bit rather than trying to cut off all of the sprue and removing too much.

I have found when trying to duplicate steel that you need some blues and purples in the base and shadows. Just a hint, not too much.

Hey Bill, loved the video, but I have a question, I just bought a 3d printed prop which was Bellatrix LeStrange's Dagger from Harry Potter and I was wondering if you had any tips on finishing 3d printed props with many intricate details.

Very nice man. What finish was your sealer, such as gloss, semi-gloss, matte, etc. Also did you only seal the blade or the blade and the handle? Thanks mate

Baby powder and crazyglue eh? I've heard of using baking soda + superglue, i suppose its the same idea... I guess I just always go to the old stand by squadron putty. green/white, or two party epoxy (green stuff and the like) for something like that instead of bondo.. bondo i think of "large surfaces" i guess.

Hello Punished Props, I know you probably won't see this comment but if I don't try I'll never know. You make so many amazing props with foam, resin, plastic etc. So my question for you is, Would you make a sword and dagger out of paper, cardboard, and glue? The reason I ask is that I'm writing a book and my main character carries a sword and dagger and now I really want to make them, but I cannot get my hands on most of what you use. Thank you Rebecca Fanimal Central ~ HD

You can make props out of any material you want! There are many people who exclusively use cardboard to build their props. What you can build is only limited by your creativity! Take this guy's work, for example: twistedsifter.com/2014/04/life-size-iron-man-suit-made-from-cardboard/

It is actually recommended for plasti dip as well to get a finer spray and more uniform coat.

hey punished props i'am starting a modern batman beyond / Ben Affleck suit for comic con next year and i was hopping that you would do a video on that type of Armour pieces thanks

Do you have another recommendation for sealing the base blade color, by chance? Maybe a standard acrylic spray sealer?

@punishedprops

+Andrea Michaud That might work too. Give it a try. If it looks terrible you can always sand it down and try again.

So essentially, with the paints, you should get several different metallics, dry brush them on and slowly build them up for a metallic look?

I noticed that your airbrushing of the clear lacquer kept blowing around the faux fur (and I’ve noticed that you tend to airbrush toward other objects on your work bench in other videos as well). How do you keep overspray off everything else?

Hey Punished Props, I’ve been working on a cosplay for some time now and I’m almost done it, only thing I need to do is paint it. What do I have to do before I start painting it, When I watch cosplayers process they all put 2 or 3 layers of some kind of black or white paint over it before adding the colours, what is that called, is it called primer? Ive already done a sword and what I did was cover it with wood glue then spray it with a 2 in 1 paint and primer spray, imgur.com/a/r31Mv But I feel like if I covered my armour with wood glue, it would crack when I put it on. So just want to know what your ideas are, Also what do you prefer painting or spray painting? Sorry this has been pretty wordy but I love your cosplays and hope you could help me out. Thanks :D

I'm pretty sure there's a Zelda bomb at 24:20.

I'm making a big suit for a character I designed but he's covered in knives, swords and hatchets. I'm going to buy actual swords and knives and everything for it but how would that work for bringing it to conventions? Would I have to dull it all down or is it entirely impossible because it's still metal?

Majority of conventions don't allow functioning/real weapons. I suggest trying molding and casting them so they're lighter and they won't hurt anyone.

I print small 1:3 scale objects that have letters embossed in them, sometimes. I've tried to mask the area around it with a rectangle and then put paint on it then wipe it off and hope enough paint remains in the tiny letters but I can't get rid of the smudge around it. Does anybody please have a good method for this?

Hello! Sand the plastic surface with 400 or 200 grit sandpaper. Then spray the prop with a Primer. Then either spray or brush on silver for the blade. An alternate to painting the blade is to use aluminum tape. Here’s a great video for that technique: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gWVhj5J9fK3cXZs.html

Well, dropping in three years late, but shouldn't you have washed the thong in dish detergent water after all that handling before hitting it with primer? It is a resin piece. Not sure why you cut the section of dyeing the leather.
