Cannot wait to continue watching these! I hope they blow up and you get a zillion views man. As I said on Instagram, your cases are by far my favorite Star Wars fan made props. I hope to get to that point some day. Great job!!
Do you have a tutorial on how to make the Stormtrooper helmet case? If not what types of flower pots and hardware did you use? The Home Depot cart is no longer available, any thoughts on a suitable replacement? Excellent videos by the way!
oh man! thank you so much for sharing these! i had seen pics of your work and was amazed! being able to see closer and some of the thoughts that went into them! Thank you! I do REALLY hope you do a few more break down videos..maybe going into your brakets and fasteners.
Thanks! I only make them when I have something to show (that I get questions about). My Instagram with the same username has more regular (still-image) build WIP posts.
Thanks for all the great info. I love your color schemes. Do you remember what green spray you used on the small Husky box? And the beige and orange on the water barrel?
These cases look so freaking cool. I will definitely try to match my crate to my Boba Fett costume. I think it deserves it. Will be watching this with very big interest. No electronics for me though, I guess. Hopefully, I can come up with something which still looks good. Maybe a little silhoutte of Slave 1 onto that crate?
@@OddViking That is there, of course. Plus the usual stuff in the helmet. Could not have passed without that. No, I mean for my crate. I cannot stow a lot of electronics on the weathered Boba Fett post-Sarlacc. No pouches, just a tiny space for a flat cheat pocket under the leg flaps.
I show it briefly at the 24:25 mark, it is a 35 gallon water barrel, that was white with a red top. I cut out the door, and then cut down the height by about 7" to shorten it. Then the door was trimmed and went back on, and was taller than the opening for a nice overlap.
@OddViking I'll definitely be trying your ideas. I just thought I'd putch that as I've used it on modified Nerf for years and haven't had color chip through yet.
@@OddViking Thanks! That's so cool! By the way, I love your work and creativity. Super talented. You and Smugglers Room and other channels inspire me. Thank you, friend. 😊
Great video! Another tip when making Star Wars is stay away from 45 degree angles. Too many bevels/chamfers make it look like it's trying to be sci-fi or toyish as opposed to looking like it's a real thing. This isn't Halo.
Chunky and utilitarian looking was my nickname in college 🤣 (brushing up on these videos as I plan how to move my costumes to England)
Haha! Sounds like a plan!
I'm so glad to see you doing these videos. I personally like the one chipping to yellow in some spots but I can understand not being happy with it.
Amazing I am so glad the algorithm brought me. These cases are amazing. I don’t have any costumes but using this training for my room build cases.
If you aren’t trooping as Tech yet then you really should. 😄 Amazing work! 💪
I just had a nerdgasm!Love this so much!
thank you!

Thank you for these videos. They inspired me to make a case for my trooper armor and now I'm off to make that helmet case as well. :)
excellent!

No electronics? What about a simple small slot window with the red symbols like on his chest?

Inspirational.
Great work ! Your very talented !
Thank you so much!
Love it ... this was a great video!
Thank you so much!
Have you tried vinyl upholstery dye as a base coat? I love it. It comes in an aerosol spray can.
I have not. is it better than spray paint?
What type of container did you use (orange and white ) for the mask and hands? Your stuff is awesome
I show it briefly at the 24:25 mark, it is a 35 gallon water barrel, that was white with a red top. I cut out the door, and then cut down the height by about 7" to shorten it. Then the door was trimmed and went back on, and was taller than the opening for a nice overlap.
Thank you and may I ask where you bought the water barrel from?
@@MrBigcheese001 It was from a farm supply place, I found it while on a trip. The kind of place they have hundreds of water containers for livestock.
What paints did you use for the Rodian head carrier?
I used Krylon Plastic paints. It is shown in that video
Have you tried vinyl dye for the odd colored plastic to dye it black first?
I have not, what a good idea!
@OddViking I'll definitely be trying your ideas. I just thought I'd putch that as I've used it on modified Nerf for years and haven't had color chip through yet.
Where did you get your Rodian mask or did you make it?
it is from a maker “Evan Para”
@@OddViking Thanks! That's so cool! By the way, I love your work and creativity. Super talented. You and Smugglers Room and other channels inspire me. Thank you, friend. 😊
Does Evan Para have a website or anything of the sort?
@@stormrodgers2613 looks like nothing listed currently, but here is his Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/EvanParraFX
Bummer. Thank you.
