I think one of my favorite things about your builds is when something goes wrong, we get to see how you scramble and make it ok somehow. The on-the-fly problem solving is super cool to see.
Amazing quality! I do agree that the grip reads a bit more leather than wood. I've struggled to achieve good wood grain results. The best solution I found was wood PLA with wood stain. Since you use a wood filler, I'd be curious if it might have a similar result. All said though, great video and amazing gun!
Very cool build process; would really like to see more angles of your full builds after the close-ups. Detail shots are amazing, but I feel like it'd be worth spending a little more time to appreciate the piece in its entirety
No idea how I found you but wow mate ! Production skills and narration of a 10+ year old channel with millions of subscribers. Learnt loads and can’t wait for the next one. Here for the ride, wish you all the luck
Thanks! Been doing video production in some shape or form for the last 12 years so I’m hopin that gives me a little bit of an edge. 😅 Appreciate the kind words ❤️
So a while back I painted up nerfs lever action gun and found they had given the stock a 3d wood texture with rings and knots etc. I painted that brown and then used a black wash and it looked amazingly close to wood when done. You could maybe scribe a wood texture onto your casts and try it that way.
@@brungerbuilds yeah I wondered where you were getting the molds from and if it was 3d was going to suggest it. I've added fine texture to models by adding shit loads of polys and then adding a displacement map.
You should learn Zbrush man, you could easily modify the files to have wood textures… something as simple as adding wood grain is very easy/quick to learn
I use this technique for wood grain: ruclips.net/video/1zdLTkcnvRs/видео.html I've used it on entirely 3D printed rifle stocks, and small grip panels alike with a lot of success. It works even up close, it is very convincing. Just looks like wood. I don't use a coat of white paint, I use tan satin krylon. I do two coats of it, and then use a very thin layer of alchohol ink with a small chip brush. The ink dries almost instantly with this technique, and that keeps the alchohol from eating away at the paint.

you definitely deserve more subs
Hopin to get there some day🤞🏼🤓

It’s so clean tho you did a really good job on Han Solo’s blaster 👍
Nice video. It looks really good. I appreciate that there's not heavy metal playing the whole time.
Beautiful build! I'm working on this same blaster and this give me lots of painting and weathering tips. Thank you!
Awesome. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome build! Love the weathering technique!
Thanks!
You can also import models into blender and overlay a wood grain texture on to specific parts

@@brungerbuilds totally working ! So glad I found you
Just subscribed like half an hour ago and now there's a new video :D Nice work!
Me too... Such a small YT Channel but super nice and high qality videos. 👌
Thanks!

Good idea! Someone else suggested applying a woodgrain texture in Blender before printing the grips which seems like it could be a big time saver!

I’ll have to give that a try sometime!

I’ll look into it!
