Punished Props Academy gotta be honest with you on this one, the shotgun shown in this doesn’t make a lot of sense. Whatever those things are on the sides, they don’t serve much purpose. If they’re balance weights, it probably doesn’t need them, it’s a heavy-barrel side by side. If they’re some kind of electromagnetic device for a railgun, well that doesn’t make much sense either, it’s still a break action shotgun. Regardless of all that, I appreciate the upload. Very good looking props.

T-shirt?
@@mikepettengill2706 A soaked T-shirt works pretty well
@@xureality HA! I meant, this should be a t-shirt. Maybe with an image of some one bashing someone with a rocket launcher or some other non-traditional male weapon. But I do see your point, a soaked t-shirt is analogous to the dreaded dish towel that wa have all been on the receiving end of.
*throws tank*
Ah man... no words can explain how happy I am to see both of you working together again! As always, learnt a heck of a lot, so thanks to both of you.
Thank You! We always have fun!
This was an awesome vid. Having you both bring different skills and techniques made it extra special
Thanks!
For scales texture you can use a pattern ( steel mesh or similar). Plastidip only goes trough the holes and leaves a bumpy scale like texture when it cures. 👌
As a cheaper alternative you can use texture glass paint (kids draw with them on windows straight out of the bottle) and apply it with a brush. Adding acrylic colours into it can make pretty cool textures like rust and whatnot. 😉
Bill's wet on and rag off technique and Steve's dry brushing both take practice to make things look good without over doing it. Considering Bill is way more comfortable with his it totally makes sense to take a more learning roll. This was a cool colab.
Steve's technique is a lot more additive than mine, it was so interesting to learn! So glad you enjoyed the video!
I like adding baking soda (more or less as desired) to my paint and primer to give a grainy texture and because the soda absorbs paint it bonds well and does not flake off.
Kevin Morrison good tip!
When you were painting the “wood” I wasn’t sure as I felt it was too dark, but I have to say yes, it looks like dark stained wood but what about other wood looks? Would love to see how you guys tackle making different wood colours and grains
Evelyn Rojas good idea might have to try that!
Brit: hey bill it's almost time to lea-
Bill: *smelling all the varnish*
Fun vid really cool techniques and I enjoyed the banter 😆
I snickered at the brush repositioning on the stock (especially since I was thinking the same thing lol!)
Flying Wookie I love giving bill a hard time 😉
I like your technique with the dry and wet paintbrush ;-)
Thanks!
I found that the best way to make a convincing wood grain is to start with a base coat of a super duper light brown, then clear coat, then use long brush strokes to do a relatively heavy dry brush of a slightly darker brown, then clear coat, repeat for between three to five coats finishing with black before the final coat.
Great tip!
Generally in theatre you go light first and then dark over. The other thing we often did, especially on "flooring" was to coat it all with "mop and glow", gives it a very durable soft sheen that looks very old polished woodlike.
Great video! You are rocking these videos, great sound, and production value as well as awesome content guys.
That's really wonderful to hear, thanks so much!
For metallic finishes, I like to use a stone textured spray paint, then paint it black and lightly brush silver paint over it - this gives a pretty neat textured metallic look, especially good for large chunks of plain metal. Makes it a lil more visually interesting!
What a great idea!
Wonderful video
Jan Haayer Thank You!
Cool gun wow looks so real.
Thank You!
An easy way ive found to do wood texture is to scratch the foam with a wire brush, then use a wash to fill the grooves
That's another great method!
This is the last bit of encouragement I needed to start my own cyberpunk gang.
Wooo!
i am so keen for cyberpunk 2077
Pappa Nut hell yeah!
sks prop that aesthetic sound!
Yeah!
I made a mistake the other day that turned out very interesting (and became a big positive). In searching for EVA foam (I wanted it in colors and I needed some long pieces) I came across "yoga mats" that said they were EVA and came in the colors I needed. Well it may chemically be EVA but it has a lot of plasticizer in it and a nylon mesh in the middle.
I was planning on it being fairly stiff but the yoga mats are super flexible. It worked out because they gave a more "organic" movement to the giant flower petals. I stiffend the center line with hot glue and TIG welding rod and they were a big hit.
This stuff would be great as a "leather" armor or reptilian skin or something. It handles a bit more like foam rubber but hot glues well and super glue worked well. Contact cement worked OK, but I think it may be a bit too flexible for the contact cement? Also rattle can spray paint takes forever to dry on the stuff. I assume the plasticizers inhibit the curing? It did get non tacky but it took three days. Luckily the whole point of buying them colored was to avoid having to paint them so there was only a small area with pain on it.
I sent you a tweet with a picture of the finished project.
What a great discovery!
Hey punished props... love all your builds.. would love to meet you guys one day.. just a painting suggestion. . When masking up for painting try using FBS tapes .their stuff is absolutely amazing. .. it's available at coast airbrush. David and the team will look after you ...
Two of my favorite cosplayers in the same room working on a prop I think I died and gone to heaven 😁😁
Ha! Yeah Bill and I had a blast
Awwwww
Well done as usual!
Thanks very much!
Thank You!
Sorry just found the video , super 77 and garnet sand , under your paint , is great texture . Or spray your paint wet , dust with the sand , and spray over it .
What I like to do is let the paint dry a bit after spraying it on a paper plate
That's a handy way to do it!
im a simple man, i see cyberpunk 2077, i click.
Hello Bill this an awesome video. MAN
Thanks very much! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@punishedprops Your very welcome bill😎
have you ever used a sheet of wood patterned linoleum for wood grain in a project?
I haven't, but a good friend of mine has used those wood grain paint rollers you can find at craft stores with GREAT success!
do u think u could make a foam sword? TH-cam dosent really help with no one making videos on them for some reason, im making sword and i have no clue how to go about doing it at all. I think it would be the best bet to ask here!
Daemion Donovan I’ve got a couple of short swords on my channel and plan on a bigger one in the future
@@SKSProps possible something like a long sword? less fantasy more realistic ish
Nice! But I really think that you should have put some Militech logos on, instead of Biotechnica logos.
U can build up latex to make texture
Do you allow fans to send you kits? I'm thinking about making a mold of King Orms trident from aqua-man and if I do I would like to send you one.
That would be wonderful! Would you shoot us a message using our contact form? punishedprops.com/contact-us/
U gotta do a vid with Odin
Would water transfer foils work on foam? Would be helpfull with the wood.
I'm not sure! It would be worth experimenting!
@@punishedprops Also usefull for skins like carbon or stone
Instead of using foam as wires only to have them painted later, why not use actual wires ?
Awesome prop anyway.
Mahendra P you priced flat wires not cheap 😉 but Thanks!
SkS Props was kinda bossy towards Bill. I mean, I get it’s your prop but isn’t this a collaborative effort? Bill dumbing himself is strange too..
I feel like dude was kinda being a D!ck. Almost as if he just doesn't get Bill's style of joking.
Steve and I are very good friends and I really enjoy working with him! His method of applying washes and painting props to look like metal is TOTALLY different from how I apply mine, and he does a lot more work with specific brushes than I do. I really enjoyed learning these new methods!
Bill and I have been friends for a very long time and we are constantly getting at each other on and off camera. I'm sorry that it felt as though I was picking on Bill or not respecting him we both have the utmost respect for each other we just like to jab back and forth when we can.
holy shit grow a spine op
Legit jump scare with the box intro.
Pls do a Warframe build
3:20 i wanted to do the same thing to bill painting
Please do the peacekeeper gun .
Hey guys awesome work it would be awesome if you guys could make the DOOM BFG :)
Is this a different density of EVA foam than normal? I feel like it looks a little more porous on the close-up shots.
Funny you should ask! Steve built a good chunk of this shotgun with his new HD Foam! Take a look at it here: www.sksprops.com/hdfoam
Damn, NordVPN seems to be sponsoring every video I watch nowadays :D Together with Squarespace and Skillshare.
I subbed to them, they were a sponsor for Alex Steele but after 12 days I got a refund. Was not able to reliably stream at all.
I LOVE that prop!!! How much for it?
Thanks for your interest, but Punished Props is not currently taking on any new commission clients. Thank you for your understanding! Also, this is Steve's personal prop, so its not available for purchase.
@@punishedprops LOL no worries. Just saying I like it in an emphatic way. 😀👍
@@MrGlickClick Thanks!
you need to make ken kaneki mask from tokyo ghoul!
That intro 😂
@punished props academy Make a eye of reach from sea of thieves
Yo that start Lo key scared me
Surprise!
I understand why (to help focus on the guest’s knowledge), but Bill intentionally dumbing himself down is really distracting.
Any signs of me not being sure what I'm doing are 100% genuine! Steve's painting method is totally different from mine and it was a little nerve-wracking to work on someone else's big project! I wanted to make sure Steve was happy with the final results. I think we did a great job together!
I think the way that you went about and said that was really rude, I genuinely thought Bill was trying to learn as well. It can be tricky with different techniques and new projects especially ones that aren't yours! Maybe try and don't be a show off all the time??? K thanks! 👍 You did an AMAZING JOB Bill! Looks INCREDIBLE! Love the Channel.
Wait if it's a shotgun, how do you reload it with tape over the chamber Haha, you couldnt be able to break the barrels
That's a question for the game designers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I think it uses different ammo than your average gun. We'll have to see when the game comes out@
Please make a gauss rifle from fallout
Raw amber AKA ''Poop'' it seems
Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t like how light foam weapons are, I feel like it detracts from the realism you FEEL when cosplaying. Having an actual heft and weight makes it all feel better.
There are a lot of great ways to add weight to foam props if that's something that helps you be in character! In the past, Bill has added small fishing weights inside props for better heft.
don’t get me wrong, for things like knives and pieces that don’t detach I do usually use foam, but for things like my MA5D Assault rifle, I like the weight that comes with 3D printing, I can grab and swing that thing, drop it and toss it. I have 100% used you’re tutorials in the past, especially the weathering steps you use. 90% of my Master Chief armor is weathered using your tips
I am making a house from a shoe lmao
Woah!
Yeet
Have to say bill Steve was kind of a dik I think. I have seen his videos and you blow him out of the water with everything I do understand that your helping someone to get you tubers but bill don’t ever dumb your self down for anyone if your having to do that mate you really have to ask your self why. Love all your work bill sorry if it seams a bit harsh
4:40 poop
you know anything mil standard should concern people. its always lowest bid contractor for mil grade stuff...lol
4th comment
Poop is NOT a colour name 😂
Poop.
You guys aren’t on the same level tbh
Yen the smiling dinosaur interesting comment. Do you mind elaborating? These guys are both way above my level 😂
good video but dumbing yourself for him is annoying
For wood grain, you might want to look into glazing techniques. This can also add a depth to the color.
That intro tho! Awesome to see my good buddies teaming up!
I just want to point out a painting technique that he uses at 14:13 where he uses his pinky finger to stabilize his hand.
Daltorb something I learned well when painting miniatures
oh my oh my.... SKS and Punished Props joined forces in one awesome project... SUPPPPPEEEEERRRRRRBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!
Every time I watch your channel guys, my brain explodes with prop-building-knowledge-goodness! I love learning from you guys!
Awww thanks so much!
same!
I would have recommended adding some burning around the barrel to simulate gun fire like what ever this gun is firing explodes right out the barrel
Cool I might go back in with my airbrush and do that!
Am I seeing things or does your tube of raw umber have "poop" written on it with a ball point pen?
Lmao it does
You guys didn't appear to seal your paint job.
I'm working on my first foam prop and was planning on finishing with a clear coat, but now I'm wondering if I need to.
???
Michael Tótin I personally don’t ever seal my Props because once you do you kill the matte / gloss the paints themselves are showing.
@@SKSProps I get that. Also why I own a broad range of clear coats.
I'm currently working on a foam crowbar and think it's too shiny. So I'm going to try a matte clear coat and hope it knocks down the shine without ruining the metallic luster. If it does, I can strip it and try something else.
Of course I'm planning on making a second/backup and might try completely different paints.
I have so much faith in CD PR, I am upgrading my entire rig purely for that game.
It's going to be sooo good!
Great, as always. I really like using spray shellac on my fake wood. It dries supper smooth and since it's what is more commonly used to seal wood, it really sells the effect.
I forgot to make my continuing comment on how I use real homemade rust to rust things. :)
I'd love to share my technique in detail if you guys ever do another episode dedicated to weathering.
I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077!!!
Kithanalane Meeeee tooooo!
Even in the future, duct tape is not used for ductwork.
Slagon Drayer ha! #truth
Bill - I love it that you had SKS Props come onto your show, sharing techniques and processes. I learn so much from you and your team. Thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm glad to hear you learned a lot.
Thank You!
BEST INTRO EVER
The raw umber tube says "poop" on it haha
That it does!
Does anyone else go through the cycle whenever watching these videos?
The cycle is: awesome I'm going to try this, aww man mine never looks as , why do I suck?, get real down on meself, remember that what matters is having fun, being happy with how something turned out and knowing that my next one will be even better.
Like every video, its a sickness with me.
I think the hammer would have more metal exposure due to its usage.
Hammers are internal on a break open double barrel. What looks like a hammer on the back would actually be used to break open the action on a real shotgun.
@@chris15252 it would still have more metal exposure because of its use. And a double barrel often has 2 triggers one for each barrel. Not one. Saw it and thought I'd mention it
Um, actually, rust CAN leech into wood, so having a bit of rust between the bands and stock would only serve to make it look that much more realistic. Also, a favorite texturing technique of mine is to use hot glue to simulate hasty or inexperienced welding beads; you lay it down fairly thich, and make sure you do a bit of stop/start and pull, and iy actually makes for quite the convincing weld.
That's a great technique!
Another way to do the wood grains or other patterns is to use hydro graphics. There obviously more expensive than painting it yourself but are an easy way to apply some intricate surface finishes.
I never clicked *Like* so fast 💯✔
Jessica Vega Thanks!
Thanks very much!
I have been doing a lot of 3D-printed textures and greebles. Great for flat/planar areas, and I can work on other stuff while my robot minions do the printing. The robots don't get tired or bored and have yet to complain about cranking out wood grain and hammered metal all day.
Make that gun from fallout New Vegas
No joke just last night before I went to bed I was looking at some props of this weapon and there really isn't much. So to wake up to find you making one 😁
I've got a template you can download at sksprops.com
Need some FBS tape in your life
Man Best channel ever! You get a laugh and you learn something ever episode.
That's so wonderful to hear!
lol, that intro, you nerds!
Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed the intro too!
I’ve seen people from Games Workshop use a small bit of black foam (from gun cases etc) to stipple the paint, simulating paint being chipped off.
That's a great technique!
Loved everything buuuut the duct tape......just me. Bill you are now 'Wonder Wood Grain Boy'...great if not subtle job....bu & bye.....
Wow that gun looks very interesting, at first I thought it looks like the power cells were ripped out of an engine. It’s got a very motor heavy vibe to it.
cool
awesome paint job Bil and Steve!
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Omg just of how you can make foam look so cool and life like just amazes me on how well it is done
Thank You!
You do props from some of my favorite games and you do them well I respect that and I love of how you make them look really cool and close to the actual thing it’s supposed to be in the game
I think the duct tape ruined it. Otherwise it's really awesome!
He built it based on how it looks in the game, so he included the duct tape.
is it possible to decant plastic dip or flex seal spray into a pan and lay a texture onto it?
Steve did something like this in the second part of his fabrication video, so keep an eye out for that! Here's part one in the meantime: th-cam.com/video/ELPTerVIM_M/w-d-xo.html
Hey Bill I was wondering if you could make the wingman from Apex Legends and maybe include electronics that allow it to open and close the way it does when inspected
:)
