Thanks for the tutorial! May I ask why you do a few layers of latex before applying the FlexiPaint primer? It seemed one of the major selling points of FlexiPaint was that it could be used right on the foam to save time - but then again, I'm still new at this hobby :)
hi, mate not at all ask all the questions you want that's why I make these videos to help people. so Flexi paint is a brilliant and robust paint however continued battling and weather will wear it down rather fast. latex will add years to the prop. also makes the prop more robust and adds a better finish to the end product. latex mixed with flex paint leaves an awesome finish and a sturdier prop.
Thanks muchly! I'm sure i've been making way too many requests, so ignore me as needed XP I'd love to see a complicated shape, such as a morning star or mace and if that differs in the foam construction and if so, how.
No process won't change no matter the shape you just need to make sure you get any complicated shapes well glues and latexes evenly especially hard to reach places
The basic tools you need is a heat gun raven a cheap one. A sharp knife and pen and ruler. And some sandpaper the rest is just making your life easier.
Great vid! I plan to play a throwing axe heavy character so this is very helpful!
Thanks so much! Now that I can make my own knives, i can rest easy knowing I won't go broke!
what kind of glue do you use?
I use alpha thixofix contact adhesive
Do you have a video explaining your layering amd paint? If so can you link it? If not would you consider making one?
Hi mate yea I got all kinds of videos up including differsnt painting techniques for you

Not at all it helps me to know what pple are interested in seeing me make

How far can it be thrown tho... like it's gonna be pretty light if it's made out of just foam, it's like if you're tried to throw a nerf dart sideways
Yes they are very light. However some systems do allow cored throwing weapons just not all.
Let’s say I don’t have a bunch of crazy tech stuff to make weapons what can I do??
