You also could have got the mcu shield from the start but great job anyway :)
Yeah -, but that one looks pretty toy-ish as well, unless you bought the metal shield from a fewyears ago.
My parents just bought me the comic sheild thinking it looked like the box art. They're going to return it so I can get the mcu one soon
looks fantastic! You may have just shown me my daughter's Christmas present this year! Still a toss up between this, or printing the 'broken' shield... ;-)
Keep in mind Hasbro wants us to pay $120 for their piece of plastic which is practically an upscaled version of the 1:12 for their figures.
Now this time, make it more stronger for a durability test
Really clean job i didn't expect anything otherwise :D
That’s why I chose the 75th than the 80th anniversary shield.
Why
@@syafira95 he just said it
@@csgotrollling4 i didnt watch it full can u tell me instead
And now the fatws shield came out
Neither of those paints are available in the U.S. for some reason
After seeing this video this is the shield I wanted!! Gonna have to upgrade mine now!!!
Hellllll yes!
Day and night dude. Beautiful.
How did you pop the rivets back in. Repainting my falcon and winter solider marvel legends sheiild!
Yeah I totally didn’t show that lol my bad just push! Some glue helps too
@@FranklyBuilt So just put it back in the hole with super glue? just want to make sure haha and it's okay and thank you for the respones
I know I’m late, but wow that looks great!
This is why I build my own
I built one from EVA foam, I built a metal one, I built a fibreglass one and a carbon fibre one
But the official ones can be nice some times
If there's some kind of way to make the plastic looks like cnc brushed, then paint it in a bright silver, and then use thr candid red and metallic blie over the silver will make the shield looks more rral and accurate
that shield it's insane nice job bro
Thanks!
Cardenales De Nuevo León Jessie J
probably john walker build a shield and watched this vid of how to paint it hahaha
Bruh
Was that Minecraft music?
Thanks Frank! watched a few of your vids for a while on your ironman cosplay, even came through on a few live streams when I could, and now I have my own Ender 3. Yea its small but you gotta start somewhere! Can't wait to start my own builds, just waiting on filament now. Once I get em going ill shout ya out on Insta! Thanks for the inspiration to finally get started on it and all the awesome videos on tips n tricks! You rock my dude!!!
Dude thanks so much man! And that’s awesome! Please don’t be a stranger and goodluck!
If there is one thing 3D printing has taught me, it's patience. When you have a print that is long like 18 hours or whatever, after a while, that 18 hours will feel more like 8.
Wow that looks so much better now. An the silver an blue pop against that red
I like that it is replica
lol, I thought it was a 1/12 scale figure customization
Your content inspires me so much! Love the content and stuff you make.
Excellent video.
I'm going to be working on a larger cosplay and want to use these colors so I was hoping you could answer a few questions.
What color's did you use?
What blue would you recommend to go with it?
How do you seal these metallic paints without dulling their sheen?
Thanks! So I show the paints in the video but as I say in others you need to test your own colours because they’ll react differently for you
Use steel wool in a circular motion (completely around the rings) to get that anisotropic effect like brushed metal.
But if you use that don't you run the risk of the scratches being deeper in the surface?
@@Artisan1979 not if you use 000 steel wool. It's too soft to cut plastic, it will barely cut paint or clear coat. You won't even be able to feel it, it will simply change how the light reflects.
@@theguid0 Do you still have to wet the surface as you do with sandpaper? I know it might sound like a foolish question but I have done very few paint jobs up until now
@@Artisan1979 no water. But use some water to wipe it afterwards to clean the tiny metal fibers off. Lots of people miss this step and clear over the metal 'dust' and you don't see it until it's dry and too late. Use can repeat this method on multiple clear coat layers of you want a deep mirror glass finish as well. Just don't go in circles but randomly and do less rubbing each layer. I do this with wood furniture when building to give it that super slick finish.
I’m definitely either getting myself or printing a shield
Do it
Frankly Built processing the gcode now
Iv noticed on my shield that the white line that some areas are not flat smooth with the shield and some parts are, do you know how to fix that without damaging it?
No I’m sorry
I have the more metallic looking shield that they first made (although I may get the classic comic style you had in this). I'm looking to just touch up the paint on mine, any tips for that?
Ehhhhh sadly no. That metallic finish is far nicer. You’ll need to sand the whole thing
Kind of unrelated to this video but what lifter boots did you use for your Mark 85 and how much lift does it give you? That's where I am currently at with my suit.
Just normal shoes with lifts inside them
@@FranklyBuilt I actually managed to find some old work boots that have a thick enough sole. I'll probably do what you did and print the boot covering and put that over it.
I am a kid
Great work Frank!
Also any chance to see your PCV Mannequin set up when you take the armor off some time in the future? :D
Guess what my next video is 😁
@@FranklyBuilt oh yeah 😍
Nice upgrade
Good to knwo it could pop out the parts like that. :o
So easy
@@FranklyBuilt its really good to know since i got the other legends one and might need to tweak it as well :P
So when you reinstalled the star and the white ring, are those tiny set screws something like a Phillips head or how exactly are they removed because you had mentioned you had popped them off?
Joe Vitale oh they’re pressure fit! My bad! They go right back in!
@@FranklyBuilt thanks. A few years ago I had ordered the first marvel legends Shield and had to return it twice because of paint issues and now I wish I would have just fixed it myself using a process which you just demonstrated so thanks!
Joe Vitale hey it happens man! Now you know and you can learn something nea
Thanks for this! Planning on doing mine. But what would happen if I don't wet sand and just apply the paint immediately?
The paint won’t stick as well, and it will look very streaky and could also cause bubbles. However, that also depends on the spray paint you buy because they have different kinds for different materials. You might also want to use a primer if you don’t want to sand
@@JoeyJWCmedia Thanks!
Can you tell me what you fit the shield onto as you're spray painting it? Those mini vices? What's the product name? I'm trying to buy the materials online.
Those are just jack stands for a car
Ok.Also, what size nippers did you use? I just got mine in the mail from China, which I can merely sterilized given Covid precautions. When I tried to remove a bolt, I found them to be too small. They wouldn't wrap around the bolt and I risked scratching the area around if I kept finessing it. What did you use?
Nippers? Idk whatever came with the printer lol
Thank you for this.
You should do a stealth version from Winter Soldier.
Not a fan haha
Just curious, what Red did you use? I'm looking to upgrade my shield and I love how yours turned out
Awesome video! I just ordered the shield because it was on sale, so I'm definitely gonna do this!
Have you ever painted one of these like the stealth shield?
Nah
is it of plastic or metal
Plastic
So insanje
What grit of sandpaper do you use? I have a shield of my own and the paint job, like you, is a problem for me because I bought this thinking that it was the metal version. The box art is very deceptive LOL. The same goes for the recent shields connected to the falcon and the Winter soldier series. Also, is this kind of work possible outdoors? I have never used spray paint before which is why I'm asking. How much would you charge somebody to do this alteration on commission?
You need to use 200-1000 grit sandpaper. I have other videos explaining how to prep and paint
@@FranklyBuilt speaking of paint, which shade of red metallic did you use?
Any you can find. You’ll have to text some out
@@FranklyBuilt Can you at least tell me if you chose a gloss or satin finish?
Red metallics don’t have gloss or matte. Metallic is it’s own finish
👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻
can you make yondus fin
😍😍😍😍✌🏻😍😍
Where can buy the paints that you used?
Internet I guess? No idea lol the store?
Wunderfull 🙏💯
do you need battery pack to power the DPDT switch? and if you do how to Install the battery pack onto the DPDT switch?
Yeah lol you need a battery power to power anything electronic
What kind of battery do you use to power the dpdt switch? and how do you wire the battery to the dpdt switch?
That.wild.cosplayer Yt you should join the discord man. lol you’re asking very complex questions that require more than a TH-cam comment can answer
Frankly Built ok
That's the comic book version of Cap's shield, so it's supposed to have those bright colors. Whereas the movie version has a much darker, metallic look to it.
But from the way you customized it, it looks rather similar to the new *_Falcon and the Winter Solider_* shield.
He said it in the video, that he thought that the colors were different and that if he had known he would have picked the other one
@@YosemiteWay I know that.
Can i have that captain america shield please coz my parents can't afford it so if you wanna gave that to me thank you😊. I subscribe turned on notification bell and like. Once again thank you God Bless you keep safe keep strong and do not give up what your facing today.......
Thanks so much
I’m planning to to make the Star lines like the MCU shield. I’ll probably laser cut it.
That would be dope
