Reaching Out

Hello all I am based in South Carolina, right now I am reaching out to all the prop builders, costumers, and geeks, of the big SC. I would love to know what kind of props people are working on and would love to be of any help that I can be. I just started working with a local prop builder with in the last two months and it has been great to bounce ideas about materials and projects off some one who is actually interested in what you are talking about. I know this all sounds a little cheesy like I'm building some kind of builders support group, but I ask whats wrong with that?  well any ways if you wish to contribute to this blog or just have your stuff posted about and all just shoot me a line, well I guess that's it for now later.

Kick Starter monthly

I've decided that I want this blog to be more than just props because it is a very limited view on what I wanted to express to everyone. at least once a month I go through kickStarter and read about the new projects being funded right now. Every one of them is different and exciting and very cool! so I am going to posting at the end of every month , my favorite kickstarter of the month!!! so be on the look out for the next big thing coming at you as a kickstarter.

Kick-Starter (Pleasant Dreams: A Card Game of Nightmares)


 link to kick starter


Hey everybody I wanted to tell you about this card game I found while I was searching in the depths of Kick-Starter. The name of the game is "Pleasant Dreams: A Card Game Of Nightmares" it is a card game where you play as a boy or a girl character and try to get through a dream and not wake up, or let it turn into a nightmare! The creator of the game gave me some info on the nuts and bolts of the game, Pleasant Dreams is a game for one or two players, takes five to ten minutes to play and is for ages 13 and up.

Pleasant Dreams includes:
19 Dream Fragment Cards
6 Player Cards
2 Glass Beads
4 Rule Cards
... and depending on stretch goals much more!

as you can see from the picture here the cards are a bit bigger than you classic playing cards. so there easier to handle and play with!

I can't wait to get my hands on this game to try out with friends, and guess what; for only $13 bucks you can get your hand on a physical copy of this game! well that's all for now be sure to check out the Kick-Starter and pledge if you can.

My first cast!!!

I wanted to start my spring break of right, with making my first ever resin cast! I decided to make a cast of my army of two mask so I could try some different painting ideas. I started by making a silicon mold of the mask.



from there I had to make a fiberglass shell to hold it all together while I shushed cast it.




I went out and got some aluminate. (sorry for the crappy pic) 


and then I went to shushing, when I was satisfied with the thickness of the cast then we wait for drying time which was only 20 minutes so very fast working time. 


time to demold I went ahead and put a thin coat of primer to cover up the boo boos. and from there I was done and satisfied with my cast time to make three more. (left is master)(right cast piece)



thanks for checking in.

un happy

I was very unimpressed with the way that the ears for the dead mau5 head were turning out so I have had to put a stop to the process for now, and decide on what I want to go forward with. I think I have it all figured out so I want to try and buy the supplies by the end of next week! super excited!!

DeadMau5 Head part 1 Ears

I was watching YouTube the other day and I saw a Deadmau5 head and I had to have one, so I went to the Internets to see what I could find out about it. I found some dimensions that  liked and started making my master molds. I decided that I would start with the ears since I already knew what I was going to use for the head. I started by putting down expanding foam.



from there I made a template with the measurements that I had. and make a rough cut.



after I made a rough cut on the ear I started filling in all the empty spots that the foam didn't get in to.



I then sealed The foam to get it ready for mold making, on to the next part the head itself.

Have a nuka on me!

Just sitting around the other day playing Fallout 3 and wondering what would a Nuka Cola Quantum taste like??? hmm... well I can't make one that tastes good but I figured I'd make one that would look good.  first I had try to figure out what size bottle I could use, and I found that A Mexican coke bottle is the best size for the in game bottle. This is what I wanted to try to replicate for those of you that don't play fallout 3.



And this is what I got, for all of you who just like the finished project look at the bottom of the page if you want to know how I made my keep scrolling.


I'm not a great photographer but I'm learning. to start I went down to the gas station and found a Mexican coke bottle and emptied it and cleaned it out.


after that I filled them with tonic water and blue food colouring. I chose tonic water because it reflected the light better than normal water.


from there your done all you have to do is get a push light and put underneath it or if you want to get fancy you can get some blue leds and wire up some lights in a custom box.

new camera box

This isn't a prop but a good idea for any body who wants a good camera case. This is a water, drop, and dust proof box that I picked up from my local army surplus store for only $10. you can find them online for cheap or use something similar.





from there I went and bought some spongy foam blocks and cut out the size that I needed and glued them in to the box. from there its simple all you have to do is trace and cut around your camera and your done.



A great weekend project!

Army of Two Mask

While playing the game Army of Two I was noticing the masks the charters had on, I was wondering if there were any out there? I found some but they were all for air-soft or paintball and had mesh covering the eyes and I knew that would not do. I did some looking and found a pep file.



I figured that it would work for what I needed it for and started work on it. I printed it all out and started cutting and gluing.




I next had to put a couple coats of fiberglass resin and fiberglass.



I tried to keep the bondo in small patches so that I would have more time to work with it and put it in thin coats. I started with the bottom half I figured that if I did it in two halfs that i would always have a dry end to hold.



once I sanded down the bottom half I started on the top half and sanded it down as well. after that it was time to fill in the nooks and crannies.





after I was happy with the smoothness then I Put a coat of fiberglass resin to get into the small cracks and give it a smooth gloss to it. onces that was done I started marking out the slots for the snaps to connect it to the back harness that I am making to hold it to my head.


After I had marked out some rough spots I went ahead and put a coat of primer to see all of the ruff spots, and sanded them down smooth as butter.



I wanted to make a mold of it so I could make multiple masks fast. so i started building up the silicone on the mask. now I have never made a mold of anything so this is was a learning experience.



I had to make a mother shell to hold the silicone in place for casting.



thats all for now keep looking back here for the cast from the mask!!
