VanGoYo<p>My very first EVA foam prop was a large Skarmory knife in 2018. After making many knives (that would end up in my weapons merchant costume) in 2023, I decided to retackle it.</p><p>I expected the experience of making five experimental knives would result in a flawless project, but there was still much to learn and mistakes made. </p><p>I have since learned not to hype myself up too much, which has served me well.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/pokemon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pokemon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/evafoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evafoam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/propmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propmaking</span></a></p>

VanGoYo<p>Years ago, I was inspired to bring to life a great piece of art by my friend, Doug. I used a crusader helmet template by Ben Eadie as a basis for the helmet and constructed it out of floor mat foam and craft foam. The wearer can see through the black fabric covering the eyes and mouth.</p><p>Doug's latest art: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/glitchcraft.webcomic/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">instagram.com/glitchcraft.webc</span><span class="invisible">omic/</span></a></p><p>Crusader helmet tutorial: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWRBCTUQ0Nk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=aWRBCTUQ0N</span><span class="invisible">k</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/evafoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evafoam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/propmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propmaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/cosplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cosplay</span></a></p>

VanGoYo<p>I'm modifying a "Nerf" gun to look similar to Snipe Hunter's gun from Yu-Gi-Oh. Not only that, it's also going to function as a dice tower!</p><p>...somehow...</p><p>My brother asked me to make him a dice tower and he used Snipe Hunter, a dice-rolling card, all the time back in the day (that cheater).

VanGoYo<p>My first Megaman Battle Network prop was a scaled-up Battle Chip for a friend's 30th birthday. </p><p>The body is made from layers of EVA foam and can hold any 4x6-inch photo. The nameplate is a plexiglass insert so you can write any names for any photos you want.</p><p>The "Recover 30 HP" photo was perfect for his birthday. Though it's been several years and he still hasn't swapped it out with any of the other photos... 😅</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/megaman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>megaman</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/mmbn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mmbn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/evafoam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evafoam</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/propmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propmaking</span></a></p>

Real_JamesCain<p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/3DPrint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrint</span></a> update. My <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/EiffelTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EiffelTower</span></a> print turned out so well I decided to print another one to keep on my shelf and use as a foreground prop for <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a>.<br>Recently the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/EnterpriseD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnterpriseD</span></a> won my Mastodon poll for my next big prop replica. I didn’t know how I was going to do it. The Thingiverse STL file has a solid interior, I’ll have to hollow it. I knew I wanted lights in it / on it, I had no idea how I was going to do it. So I did what we all do: put it to the side.<br>So the next print, it’s on the printer now, is <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DevilsTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DevilsTower</span></a> from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CloseEncountersoftheThirdKind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CloseEncountersoftheThirdKind</span></a>. I thought I’d paint it to make it look like stone, add some scale model shrubbery. But wouldn’t it be cool if there were a huge spaceship hovering over it? There’s no STL files of the mothership but I still kept going. Watched a video on the miniature effects and one of the tricks they used was painting over transparent so lights shone through. Ah ha! Boom, Enterprise D. Now I had some direction. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PropMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PropMaking</span></a></p>
Retro Gerry<p>First attempt at painting the golden key of ACG from the 8 bit classic atic atac. The airbrush gives a much better effect with gold paint than hand painting does this is the first ive used it and really like it.<br>The key breaks apart into 3 parts, and lock together again using magnets </p><p>Ive still to varnish it. At the moment it does have more of a brass look to it. But i kind of like it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/propmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>propmaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/zxspectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zxspectrum</span></a></p>
