I am definitely going to use this for my varrè costume

I like this video but now it’s been six years and the proton packs I like $264 Have a 3-D printer

Great video with some really helpful tips. I'm going to be updating my Jason Voorhees cosplay very soon and it's definitely going to need some weathering.

Thank you so much this will help a lot for my walking dead cosplay!

My stepdad was a pilot so what's funny is when I decided to do this, I basically had access to a walk-in closet full of Ghostbusters uniforms, and got a nice tan one which was closest in color to the original also standard issue combat boots look really good in these outfits already had a pair

This is a fantastic tutorial! Thanks for the tips

Is this method can be used with leather?

Bro!!!! This is so good!!!

how do we get the files if we cant log in or register for the bb-8 builders club

Im starting a cosplay costume as a ghostbusters as well will be my first year right now im modifying my proton pack and wand 👍🏻👍🏻

A $248 proton pack isn't exactly cheap, imo. Couldn't one be made using a combination of 3D Printing, pvc and other cheap parts from reference pics?

could you teach us how to weathering WWII cotton gun sling?

wb dark fabrics like black?

I appreciate this, I just got the Life Size Proton Pack by Spirit Halloween, I just need the suit and belt really cause I'm not going for SUPER accurate, just the most accurate and recognizable I need to be for a Halloween party. The PKE Meter and trap is something I gotta wait on cause I've already backed the HasLab Two in the Box set from last year so it's gonna be when they come in I get them. So far the Proton Pack and Two in the Box set are the most expensive parts of the costume and I'm REALLY not willing to go out of my way on the boots to be super accurate for something I might not wear often. Belt, gloves, and maybe a set of goggles is on the table...but the goggles are the most "Maybe" of the things. I am a little dubious about the Ebay patches if only cause while I'd like my name on the patch...it feels weird, but then again they gotta have your name anyway to ship it to you.

I have a jacket that was £500 ( Jacket in profile picture ) It was made using real military braiding and wool , But i'd like all the gold braiding to be a bit darker and look old and worn like Jimi Hendrix's did but i also don't want to ruin the jacket , Any idea what i could do ? :)

"I wanted to make this with things I had laying around", 3D prints most of it...

For a shirt can't remember what it was for I just remembered the process of making it was my first time ever making a cosplay and it really was not cosplay it was more of a Halloween costume I made it when I was real young I took the white T-shirt better than tea let it get a little bit more of a brownish hue to it make it look like a really old Warren white t-shirt then I took it outside and I scratched it against the concrete and hit it with a hammer a couple of times over a rock to give it some small little pin hole and to tear it a little and add some more depth to it that's about it that's all I can remember

Nice! I used to live in hurricane

Great job huge fan of the 60s tv batman tv series 😊

Great technique

I know some people that go as far as lightly torching wool uniforms, pretty much just to remove the fuzz . Another reenactor that I knew buried his new uniforms for a few weeks.

Looks neat bro. Thumbs up!

I would really like to see an updated version of this video. The flight suit is now up wards of 70 dollars

Thanks for this video, ones like this makes simple mods so much eaaier. Ive wanted to get rid of the belt clip for a while, easy as.

I have an adam west batman costume that fits perfectly! Except...the cowl...my head is too big...does anybody know where i can get a bigger one? or maybe have it adjusted??

Your costume looks awesome! I'm thinking of making one for next Halloween.... but, apparently the pattern is no longer available :( Do you have any other sources by any chance?

That intro was epic and that is a beautiful costume.

I want to make a bloodborne costume so bad

How tall are you bro? I bought two truspec flight suits from L to M..they're still big for me..i thought S size would be ridiculous for me but lately im considering to buy it..yours seems to fit just right..

i had *no* idea those red bars were removable, helps tremendously

Really informative video. I was wondering what other stuff you used to weather your sash. It looked like a powder substance? Thank you. I am working on a Desert Themed Mandalorian kit.

Thanks! Gonna try it on a pair of Tusken Raider boots.

Will te work on syntetic fibers? Or only natural fibers?

I am thinking to use this technique to weather my US flag . Thanks

Hey, James. I'm about to buy the upper torso with head and arms version but head circumference will be a factor for my particular display. Did you ever take a measurement yourself on yours? The reason I ask is there's 2 different measurements for the male - 22.5" on one of the product photos but then only 20.7" in the description. I was curious as to which measurement is accurate. lol.

Looks great! I feel inspired enough to try to do mine now!

Really nice work! Thank you for sharing your journey!

Dude I would totally buy that Groot figure you have on the shelf.

there is a big mistake the sparrow community always makes, ... Jack's costume is distressed and weathered NO dirty. And your sash looks dirty.

Fabric needs to be washed first, to get rid of the sizing finish. Tea stain doesn't have a yellowish tint, it's brownish. Lipton tea has more dye in it than all the other brands. I've used a dozen or more bags, with less water. Nice job on the painting and fraying.

I have a question on the link for the boots you left in the description when is says special instructionss what does that mean? Also is there any other way I can find the pattern for the cape and trunks because it got taken down also what does the use date mean on the boots website sorry lol just confused me

This is amazing, absolutely loved it! 👏

Cool.. how are you?

Costume change got me lol

Well three things I noticed straight away the eyebrows on the cowl are significantly different, the belt also, and the trunks are cut different to the original

Very cool! How much to make me one? Lol

To weigh down the base you could go buy a 12x12 inch cement stepping stone in the garden dept. of the home improvement store and use that. ....that should be plenty heavy enough and works well....not a bad mannequin for that price.
