Rotocasters are so cool. Thanks @raptorprops.bsky.social for letting me use it!

I was helping my friend make copies of his sculpt and thought it'd be a great time to try out 3D printing a matrix mold jacket!

I bought this resin kit years ago from The Crafsman, sculpted by CrafsSon! I love the Mail Snail, it looks great next to my Free Range Chicken!

A fiberglass rod can add tons of structure to foam prop handles! #foamsmith

I made an axe from Avowed! You have to wet the EVA foam with water and then the epoxy clay sticks really well. The clay cures rigid, so you lose the foam flexibility, but I didn't need that for this build.

Here's how I make patterns for bracers! When you only have one arm free, it sure helps to have a partner nearby. Thanks, Britt! #bg3 #baldursgate3 #cosplay

I made Gale's Mystra earring from Baldur's Gate 3 but my ears aren't pierced! Luckily clip on earrings exist. #baldursgate3 #bg3

Metallic stickers look so legit! #ghostbusters Ecto Goggle Stickers designed by demon-vice-commander on DeviantArt

I needed a quick glove for a Cyberpunk costume, so I used zip ties! We also use our leather hole punch for way more than leather, the poor thing, haha

This is the jacket I found for a quick, Cyberpunk-style costume I made for a convention. Leather paints work great on vinyl and so does contact cement!

Years ago, when the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer came out, I made a custom necklace to wear with a cyberpunk-style costume. This totally justifies my scrap hoarding 😆

Dry brushing on paint helps add highlights to the raised up bits. Then, going over the crevices with a weathering pass really makes the contrast pop!

For attaching EVA foam pieces together, I usually use contact cement. If the foam pieces are tiny, I'll use super glue (cyanoacrylate) which has to be held in place for a few seconds. #foamsmith

A few years ago, we made our own #MYST book! Here's how we made the resin cast letters with real brass powder.

I had so much fun piecing together this helmet design! I'm still blown away with metallic finishes on visors. You really can see through them! If you're going to wipe at the inside of the visor, you'll want to spray on a clear coat over the chrome, too.

Parchment paper works great for diffusing strips of LEDs! #starwars
