I like every videos that comes out of the Smugglers Room, but my favorites have to be when Carissa shows up! She adds a soft warmth to the videos that just makes it so inviting to watch! Love you both, I have a VERY extensive list of projects that I want to do, a lot of which have come out of the Smugglers Room builds. Thank you so much!!
So much appreciated your kind words. She is truly one of a kind!
As a newbie to cosplay, I wanted to say thank you for helping me to understand how to make my own template… I almost gave up and ur video on tracing helped me to understand/fold my template so it fits my mid sized bust. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So wonderful to hear that we could help, thank you!
Brian, my girlfriend and I are the same! She loves her lists, and order, where as I like to the go down the long and winding road of little victories
You guys seem to have so much fun doing various projects together as well as making videos for your viewers to watch your journey…”This is the way”
Thank you! This is the way!
Holy Moly Guacamole! How have I never seen this channel before! WOW! Fantastic content. "I'll be back." 💛💙😍💪
So glad you’ve found us!
Brian and Carissa you guys have been a huge part of my introduction to greeblies and i've been using lots of greeblies in my armor and props now like bottle caps and little bits of pens. Your Mando Costumes look so cool I like the styles both completely different. I just finished mine than decided it need a little more greeblies on it so I remade the chest plate all over again. Now I'm satisfied with my costume. Good luck and I wish i could be at the Star Wars Celebration. Thanks for being geeks and for inspiring my Mando Costumes Journey. This is the Way I have spoken.
Thank you!
Great video! Carissa has the patience of a saint.
She married me . . . That is proof of that statement 🤣
Another great video! Love seeing the process you both take when you're working side by side, and it's also good to know I'm not the only one who gets pulled in eight different directions at once for different projects....
Thank you! Glad I’m not alone
Love this.
My wife and I are exactly the same! Goodness i make a mess out of order, and organization is her bliss!
I dont know Legacy requirements as well as i should sorry about that, but there are elements of both modern and post imp. its an interesting design for sure!
Thanks so much! I'm glad we are not alone!
I am currently working on my design to join my Mando Mercs, Haaranovor Clan here in The Rocket City. Not only do I build custom stuff (which as soon as the new site is up, i'll be happy to share with you) i'm also an EMT. The Mercs do some great outreach and work with younglings. I'm trying to piece together events where I can work as an EMT alongside the Mandos with kids in hospitals, etc. Watching how you both dive into projects really helps me. With ADHDDDDDDDD+, I measure 7 times..walk away...measure again...get another person to measure and ensure i'm accurate or close....and cut as many times as needed haha. If you haven't already, maybe you could talk to your local Ruus'alor with the Mercs. You could encourage and inspire the next gen of builders. I believe you already are doing that. Keep rocking it.
Was literally just watching this last night wondering when y’all would continue
BOOM! . . . here we are!
Awesome! You guys are a great couple. What fun you must have making these things together.
Much appreciated! We have a blast!
Love Chrissy’s hair but love seeing you guys work together on stuff.
Thank you!
I been away, I do Enjoy to see both of you guys Working on a project. Awesome 😎 👍🏿
Can't wait to see these in person.
can't wait to meet you in person bud!
wow, they look amazing!!!
Thank you
Super adorable interactions
Thank you
Fantastic I can wait for the 42 days to pass and see these costumes in person !!
Can't wait bro!
This was a great build and loved seeing Carissa in another video!
Thanks buddy!
This was one of the best edited videos yet!
Thank you!!!!
You can also use the laser to cut the armor shapes. We cut foam PVC (sintra) on the laser all the time.
Really??? I thought the laser would have melted it? Tell me more about this wizardry
@@TheSmugglersRoom Cuts through like butter, you can even engrave it. Still doing tests, but we throw it on the Boss laser and it works.
the Welding Geek did a series of videos using that material, and it looked really good.
oh cool, i'll have to check that out!
Now I'm more motivated to finish my Mandalorian build. Mostly I have the soft parts to work on.
You can do it!
Love your gag reels😀. Great job on Mando armor.
Thank you
I’ve never thought of using rubber cement! That’s great! You should pick up a rubber cement eraser. It’ll make the removal so much easier
Whoa . . . rubber cement eraser??? is that a real thing? Sounds Awesome!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Yup! its basically a block of solidified rubber cement. Since rubber cement sticks to itself, you just rub it along the surface and it comes off!
Glad to see you guys working on the Mando stuff again! Just sad I'm not going to be able to go to this celebration.
Oh no, sorry you won’t be making it.
For when you get to your Helmets, Look into medieval helmet liners, they're WAY more comfortable imo and lighter than most modern padding solutions. Plus they can be made adjustable to get the helmet sitting at the exact right spot. I have a padded suspensor liner in my Mando helmet that I got with a replica medieval steel helmet that I got for reenactment, though I did add a couple of motorcycle cheek pads for added stability. Its way lighter, more comfortable and less warm than when I just used pads.
oh sweet! I'll check that out. Thank you for that!
@@TheSmugglersRoom No problem. Don't get me wrong though, pads are just fine. I just think liners are better if you're a perfectionist about where it sits on your head and will be wearing the helm for hours. Comfort and weight can eventually get to you if its not light enough or comfortable enough.
Looks amazing you guys can't wait to see it done
Thank you! We are getting closer.
Honestly, it is a privilege to see them work, each with their own style, great video, can't wait to see the finished costumes
Thank you so much!
i LOVED the heart to heart chat about your processes . Every now and then I wonder if Brian has ADHD, BUT the more I've looked into it I've fund lots of us nerds have these tendacies, it's not a bad thign, it's just how we work, and knowing this helps us and those around us :)
It might also be ADHD . . . 🤣🤣🤣
You guys make this stuff look fun and easy! Great work on the armor!
Thank you my friend!!
Looking really good! No way I'm getting my kit done in time. Best of luck on finishing them
Sorry you won’t have yours finished, we are trying to get these done, we’ll see!
Car and Brian, Can’t wait to see this armor in action (pre-cinder please)
Thank you buddy
I just want to say that you guys are awesome! I have been watching you for a long time,
and even though I dont really make anything, I really like watching you guys do it!
thank you so much! That means the world to us!
Just amazing work Brian and Carrisa the Mandalorian armor is coming along nicely. As you both said 2 distinct different styles on how to go about both your builds. Look forward 2 seeing it finished. This is the way!!
Awesome, thank you!
Well we’ll well!!! Y’all have once again blown my mind and exceeded any expectations I have for y’all’s Chanel as you did it again. 🙂 I love how the both of you have different approaches to the same task and design and come out the other side with each of your builds turning out equally as awesome! You both compliment each other and that’s great for any relationship personal or professional! Great job once again thanks for sharing, Shark!!
Thank you so much!!
Great video - two awesome creatives!
My wife is the mess and I'm the one that thinks it threw then ,I wind up a mess lol but we end up working on the same page by the end of the project, sometimes to wrongs make a right lol ,looking forward to the finish looks guys love the show
Lol, that’s awesome. Thank you
they look amazing, thanks for sharing 👊👊👊👊
Thank you!
Wooooo! Can't wait to see em finished:-)
me too!!! LOL. Thanks for watching!
Awesome …the Force is strong with your creative skills….I’m inspired!
wow! great build again. I like the ACE work gloves, as I work at an Ace hardware near me!
Awesome! They are great!
Looking good! Can't wait to see the final results
Thank you
Love these projects where you guys work together!
Thank you!
Its so fun to see you guys "playing" together. Great episode! Cant wait to see those complete!
Thank you
You can do it!!! Love it when you guys work together, such a cute couple! Awesome build, those costumes are going to be insanely cool!
Thank you so much
You guys are so cute … I love when you bring in the all-star !!
Thank you, she’s the best!
highly surprised to see you heating Sintra without a respirator!!
me too
I really love these designs and ideas bar 1 part and its your suit so you do your thing its just my own alteration.
That iron heart needs a hole or something in it so it isnt just a long hexagon. It works for the heavy infantry as its completely smooth but as you've taken inspiration from both din and boba It just seems off without it.
But don't let my gripes influence your design its still early stages and I'm sure I'll grow to adore that part too
thank you! Yep, i am planning a detail on the iron heart, just not there yet. But you will see it soon!
Those look so great now!!
Thank you!
@@TheSmugglersRoom I am currently working on my Mando kit too. I made my blasters using Nintendo zappers!
You're channel is by far my favourite hope your able to get everything sorted in time, good luck 👍
Thank you so much 😊
Again, you made a terrific job on creating these armour pieces!
If you want to create Mandalorian Armours but make them look not too similar to the Mando or Boba Fett, you can always go a few thousand years back to the time of the old republic, where Mandalorians played a huge role.
The MMORPG Star Wars - the old Republic is full of awesome Mandalorian Armour pieces and the 3D Files can get exported to Blender (for example)
thank you! Great idea with the Old Republic. There are some fantastic designs in that time period!
Finally, The series continues 🙌
i know right? Nothing inspires like a deadline!
Carissa is a treat! I like both of your styles (I organize the sections of my projects and then jump back and forth working on them) by the way 42 is a significant number in another universe. Hitch hikers guide :) also the Resin printer is awesome. Cant wait for the review
As always your paint and weathering skills are Most Impressive!!!
Thank you so very much!
Great episode
Thank you
Looking good!! Brian, I'm so much like you. I may have 3 projects going at a time and ping pong between them. I can't stay on one part for very long because I start getting complacent and in a hurry. I find that when I work a little on several projects I get better results. Good luck on the deadline!
totally agreed Kyle! It's the only way I can build! LOL
Another awesome and informative video. I really like how you both designed your armor. Your use of the plastic cement is pretty cool. I have weathered my plates by doing multiple layers of spray paint and after the paint is completely cured, hit it with a random orbital sander. I got some awesome results. Thank you for sharing your awesome builds. Look forward to seeing the finished project. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much Daren, appreciate it !
I bought my armor off of ETSY an later added little things here an there to make it more my own concept. That worked out better for me as I have zero knowledge or skill in R&D , 3d printing etc.
Hey, that sounds great to me! Nothing at all wrong with that my friend. That’s the wonderful part about this hobby. You can simultaneously support another maker and give yourself a base to work from. I love it!
You should call your Bandsaw either "Cantina Band-Saw" or "Bantha-Saw" lol.
ooooh!!! Thank you Krulty, i have been trying to figure out a name for it for years . . . Bantha-Saw is a winner!!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Lol see, now you need a Bantha decal or something on it. But hey, let me know if you want any other punny names for your tools. I love puns XD.
Now you’ve named the band-press, you need a name for the drill-saw! 😁
@@andrewb9590 Oh a Drill-Press is easy. "Drill of the Fates" or "Press-Drill Trilogy" or "Drilldeka"
Hey Big Geek, I'm makin Stars Wars Custom Camper van,...I'm painting the universe on it now and the Millennium Falcon painted on the side rite now..And putting a space ship on top of the van..Let me know wat ya thank...???Keep up da good videos Big Dog...
Sounds great! Best of luck on that, should be awesome!
This is the way
This is the way . . .
I had to drop two of my 4 cosplays for this reason... I keep adding new projects. But I have one complete and will hopefully finish the other.
Good luck!!
Sounds like Carissa is more of a auditory/sequential learner and Brian is more of a visual/spatial learner. Those approaches to projects fit really well into those categories. I'm way on the visual/spatial side of things myself and I hate measuring 😅
That was a fantastic comment
Looking good. I hope I run into you there.
I hope so too!
Well guys, that's a solid work you've done, ner vods! Although I prefer metal 😉
😜 thank you
Crunch time is upon you. It will be interesting to see how this finishes. For me you have the easier items left since you already had finished the soft parts. I personally dislike sintra but understand that you needed to go that route for eventual merc approval; Eva foam would have knocked all of that out so much faster (as i did my son in Eva)
I liked the idea of EVA foam when we started, but I also really love the stability of the sintra too. Both are certainly interesting ways to go.
Great progress on these, they are looking great so far. But wow, does it seem daunting with all of the different pieces and details.
As for the question of how I approach projects, I think I'm more planned but that's mostly due to being new to building things for my room. I'd like to be a bit more spontaneous, but I just don't have a reserve of experience to draw from to keep me from getting lost or losing a finger.
Thank you! Yeah, there are a TON of different steps we are going to need to do.
I love the spontaneous approach as well!
I love seeing you two work together. Your personalities really show through and I think you both are great, funny, relatable and loveable. As far as process goes, I like to think I'm on team Carissa but I have full blown ADHD so I'm totally team Brian LOL! Love you guys
LOL! Thank you!
You guys are awesome!
Thank you!
Guys you are awesome. Greetings
Thank you
You 2 are too cute! ♥️♥️I’m the steps in order kinda person lol
Thank you!!
nice one guys
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Wow I didn't know until now that I need a band press! LOL!
They certainly come in handy!
Which way? This is the way!
I'm in the process of building my own mando armor. I've hit a few snags, like constructing the gauntlets. I'm not skilled enough yet to build the gauntlets from scratch so I bought these toys that are basically the top half of the gauntlets but now I'm trying to figure out how to attach the toy pieces to the bracers.
You could use webbing or velcro to attach them.
@@TheSmugglersRoom right after I posted this I gave them another look and found out I could take the toy pieces apart in a way that will make them much easier to attach them to the bracers. I'll probably just be gluing them together and hopefully my main armor set will be mostly finished by the end of the weekend.
That’s so cool
Thank ya
love you guys and really enjoy the Carissa episodes! awesome edit.. love the popping zoom 😊 brilliant cosplay too!
LOL!! Love you bro! Thanks so much!
I love it .it a good job
Thank you!
Mando Magic 🧙♂️
Thank you
Love your energy your projects always looks so amazing i love your stuff. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much
wow this is a very cool video and I cant wait to see the next one you are both awesome !
Thanks so much
I really enjoyed all the videos for this build that it inspired me to try to my my own version on mandalorian armor for next year. I want to try to make it out of sintra like you guys. What is a good place to buy it from?
9:22 That lady's Gregorc Mind Style might be Abstract Sequential.
LOL, maybe!
This is the way. Looks great!! I've used EVA foam a bit for builds, but never sintra. Do you have a link to buy it in sheets? Thanks!
Where did you get the mannequin?
SONOFABI-- Rubber cement. Rubber cement as a masking fluid.
My god. Thank you.
😉
amazing vid
Thank you
Couple Goals.
Indeed!
Top!
Thank you!
How would you attach the armor to the body?
Finally
I know right??? LOL
Check list approach ;~D
LOL, it's probably the better way to go.
I am an investor and I am building a manned drone to show on national television in one of my half hour infomercials. I want the look of the manned drone to be funky like something you might build instead of the typical sleek look for aircraft. Do you have any links to images of what you might consider funky looking spaceships like the |Space Taxi| series that was in the Mystery In Space comics? Or do you have any thoughts on covering the skin of a manned drones to look like something made of orange crates that a kid might make in his garage?
Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King, Miami, FL
been waiting for this. Do you have another video about the flight suits finished? can we purchase your patterns?
Thank you! Sorry it's taken so long. We have a whole series on the build starting from the beginning, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/p/PLUy1-gPWrFRTgQLUNBw-qjm_GBV7kGY2I
I will get with Carissa on firming up the patterns so we can share those!
Where did you get the sintra plastic and how much was it, looking to build my own mando armor and can't find any affordable options. I've seen tap plastics has them but they're about an hour and a half away. I also saw galon buckets are an option for this but idk still
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
I know that these suits will turn out awesome! I like seeing the creative processes. Seeing you two together is a hoot! Have fun with it!
Is Star Wars Celebration in FL or CA?
Thanks so much!! Celebration is in CA this time.
These are really cool. If your going for accuracy tho the female helmet is also different. How did you make those helmets too? You never showed
Not going for any accuracy. We are creating our own. We've never been much for screen accurate on this channel. The helmets were 3D printed. Nothing special, we just 3D printed files we purchased online.
@@TheSmugglersRoom I need me a 3d printer. Those helmets are brilliant. And the rest of it
eyyyyyy finally
I know right??
@@TheSmugglersRoom absolutly
you guys are adorable
Thank you!!!
