Making An EVA Foam Viking Shield Part 2

In this episode were gonna seal and paint our jammin' ancient shield to look weathered and worn. We’ll go step by step through the totally simple techniques for how to pull it off - and it’ll be just as easy as the build itself was!

Foam props always look so cool with the Plastidip applied

[@BlackSheepProps]

Totally. I frequently said that very thing in my videos - it’s one of the coolest stages in the build when it gets covered in black rubber.

Great job. I'm actually working on this at the moment while watching your video. I used a large Frisbee as the base and covered it it in foam. For the rivets I glued flat thumb tacks around the edges.

Hey Thomas! Cool!
Those sound like great ideas!

WHERE DO YOU BUY THE PAINT? AND WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PAINT PLEASE?

[@BlackSheepProps]

Hi Francisco! The brands of acrylic paint I use are CRAFT SMART and FOLKART. I buy them from an art supply store near me named Michaels but you can buy them online also.

DO YOU PUT PLASTIDIP BEFORE?

[@BlackSheepProps]

Yes, I Plasti Dip first then I paint.
