So, I did a little digging, and that gun you used for the base is part of an Augmented Reality gaming system called AR Gun Var Park. The part that flips up in the back is to hold your phone, and the QR Code most likely pairs the gun to an app that was designed to make use of it. It's made by a Russian company, I believe.

Very nice, I made a custom steampunk blaster out of spare parts a couple of years ago at the beginning of COVID and I've been itching to make another one since then and this video is really making want to hit Goodwill for cheap toy blasters. Something that I've learned when painting toy guns is that the cheap $1 semi-gloss black from Home Depot works really well. It goes on fairly glossy for something that's supposed to be semi-gloss but going over it with 0000 steel wool brings down the shine and, in my opinion, makes for a really good simulated blued finish. Painting with a silver base coat and going over the finished gun with the steel wool some more and/or before the black paint fully dries (haven't figured out what does it) creates a nice gunmetal like finish. I really need to experiment some to see if the result is from sanding to the point where the silver barely starts to show through or if it's because the paint's not fully dry yet and steel wool fibers/dust is getting embedded in the pain.

Have you ever considered weighting these props to make them behave more realistically in your or actor's hands? At the end of the video it looks great, but as soon as you hold it in your hands it is painfully obvious that it is just a hollow plastic as it has no weight to it and it is very visible in the camera.

@watermelonhelmet6854 Жыл бұрын

@@martinbelton4973 It's also a safety thing. On most movies if a gun isn't actively firing in close-up it's probably made of rubber. If an actor is running around, a realistically weighted gun is basically a club they can hurt themselves or someone else with. Picture the bullet-bending scenes from Wanted, then imagine a real metal gun slipping out of James McEvoy's hand and clocking Angelina Jolie in the face....or Tom Hanks running up the beach in Saving Private Ryan, tripping and cracking his ribs on his Tommy Gun.

Your Fallout 76 Pip Boy modification was the first video I watched and is my favourite. When you're choosing the glue you use (epoxy, hot glue or super glue), what makes you pick one over the other? Is it just based on what materials are being joined, or does speed come into it too? Super glue being faster than hot glue, which is marginally faster than epoxy, and so on.

It's always super inspiring to watch your prop making videos! Love it! I do have a question: For some parts you use hot glue, for others you use super glue or epoxy. Are there certain reasons on which you decide what glue to use or is it just pure randomness?

@punishedprops 2 жыл бұрын

For prop making, it's usually the glue's working time that is most important to me. If I need a few minutes to place something, I'll go with epoxy. But, for example, with CA glue (superglue) it can haze clear plastics so it also depends if the material is compatible. www.thistothat.com/ is a fun website to see what glue is recommended for what materials.
