allen you and your whole crew give me a sane place to get away from the madness.. i thank you all for that....peace... even the chat room people are polite... thanks to all of you as well..
Great job Allen! Thank you for slowing down the camera for explanation purposes. This is very useful. Love the finished result! Glossy wood tone looks amazing. Not sure if you have a video on pattern making, but it definitely would be greatly appreciated since my brain has difficulty conceptualizing cut patterns for prop making and costumes. Horns seem a bit easier, but some patterns like helmets and garments are intimidating. Any help is of course, greatly appreciated. And, as always, thank you 🤘🏻💀
Those look awesome! I love all the stuff you do, and your sense of humor. Do you have a video on building the rest of that mask, specifically those lighted eyes?
omg that's epic and perfect timing as I needed to know this. what spray paint is that ??? I brought the cheap airbrush kit you reccomended and I cant seem to get a flow from them how do I problem solve please
Adjust the top of the paint outlet up and down in front of the air nozzle until you get the right height for the air flow to pull the paint up. Make sure your clean that paint outlet well after each use.
From personal experience, I would recommend something like liquid nails because it retains a flexible rubbery texture when dry. This is not to say that other mediums don't do that but you want to ideally avoid something that dries really hard and inflexible, because there is more of a risk of cracks in the paintwork down the road if the foam moves but the filler doesn't. Test out other products on small areas and see how flexible it is when dry.
I'm considering a Jason Voorhees cosplay and I'm not at all a big guy but I wanna add a little more bulk to my shoulders/back to give a bit more of the illusion of having that bulky hunchback stature. What would be the best way to do that without using a full muscle suit?
I'd start with a cheap pair of vintage like hockey shoulder pads. They make retro / vintage style shoulder pads that are not too big, but do offer some bulk out. Then, I would modify the back plate padding by adding EVA foam with contact cement around the should blades and across the shoulders for added volume there.
surprisingly secure. not, also they wont break they would just come off and need to be reglued. id rather they come off in high stress rather than risk the actors neck getting tweaked. but no, they hold on really well.
Awesome tutorial! Where did you get your eva from? I need to make an evil snowman, approx 10 feet tall and I think a nose out of the eva is going to be my best bet. Thanks in advance. ⛄️
What is your method to "stop up" liquid nails and Loctite Tite Foam when product is still in the can? I have tried Hot glue, screws in the tube and even wasining the tube and nozzle with acetone. The wash works the best and leaves the can "parts" like new for the next usage but man what a lot of work! The hot glue seems to be the next best thing but I do not keep my hot glue heated all the time anymore when not in use for actual hot gluing (I am in California and the FIRES here have me parnoied ). The Screw in the tube trick seems to be very poor stopper but better than nothing. GEzzz whizzz I wish one of these companies would build a stopper system into their cans. I would pay up to 25 percent more for a can engineered like that for Loctite Tite Foam. I just do not want to pay 1000 percent more for the foam guns systems used in the home installation industry.
@@StiltbeastStudios I do m best to do so at least twice a week. If I could as my job I feel I would be the happiest human alive! (This may be a skewed view from my perspective, but Idk lol)
Wow, I wish all channels had music this easy to listen to...
lol, I didnt think harsh metal went with the vibe. blusey was the way to go for me lol.

I could do a how to pattern video in the future. I do think its useful.
@@StiltbeastStudios thanks Allen. Looking forward to it, like all your vids👍
Such a Awesome Teacher as always. Thanks for the information and instructions. Giving Credit where Credit is due.
Thank you, such kind words.
Nice horns. I'm especially happy see the clock going backward! Lol.
Chaos!
I am shocked at the curve and smoothness you were able to achieve and you make it look so easy!! Great job!
thank you so much for the kind comment!
Thanks Allen for thoroughly detailing the making of the horns.
You are very welcome
It looks so fun to make variant styles of EVA foam horns when applying it on other custom monster masks, including Krampus. I love it!
It really is!
I absolutely love the horn style I actually like horns the go back which makes it a very cool one
also practical for the actor, if they curve forward then they snag on camo net and tree branches, and bang on door frames.
Allen such a great job as always. You make everything look 👀 so easy. Can’t wait to order a Krampus from you.
lots of people make morns harder than they need to be, they are easy.
How do I order a mask ?
I'm really glad you showed some really detailed steps for these. It's my first time making this kind of stuff!
Glad it was helpful!
This is amazing. I’m going to make horns. But I can also apply this technique of shaping EAV foam to other theater creations. Thanks Allen.
Yes you can! you rock! youre binge watching lol!
Very cool process, I love that glossy wood tone! Jonesy was just about to plant his paw in the liquid nails! Hahaha
he is so helpful.
Allen amazing job. Love when you make horns
so many horns
Wow those are very realistic nice horns love the paint on them
thanks, glad ya like it!
@@StiltbeastStudios Your very much welcome
Ur so good I started following you yesterday and I can't stop watching all ur videos my God show every little detail amazing thank you 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Just made a set of these today for skeleton horses we have for our Krampus house at work. Thanks for the video
Wonderful!
I love it when you scream things at me, especially things that are already in my heart 🥰🤣
Go Make stuff Jen!
@@StiltbeastStudios yaaaaaaaaas
Freaking AWESOME!!!! My jaw was dropped the whole time!
glad you liked it!
”Yeah, ooh, aah, that’s how it always starts. But then later there’s running and screaming.”
such a great character.
Amazing as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Allen!
You're welcome!
Those look awesome! I love all the stuff you do, and your sense of humor. Do you have a video on building the rest of that mask, specifically those lighted eyes?
Coming soon!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
You're a genius sir!
Wow, thanks!
Just what the Doctor ordered.
Thanks Allen!!
they are a great next step for you!
@@StiltbeastStudios I agree!!

Super cool
thanks!
Excellent! 💚💚💚

fantastic, but the liquid nail could be replaced by acrylic putty or does it have any difference in finish?
Thank you.

Im not sure, I have never used acrylic putty. liquid nails dries firm but with a bit of flex.
Thanks a lot.
thanks for your interest in the question.
I will take into account the issue of flexibility.
Excellent!
thanks!
Thanks for always sharing so much!
Would a really curled horn, like a ram's horn, need three pieces, or could you make it with two like these?
for that you would need three and that tutorial is coming!
@@StiltbeastStudios Looking forward to that!

lacrosse shoulder pads are perfect for that in my opinion.
Yes! Lacrosse shoulders are even better. 🤘🏻💀
Do you ever have a problem with the horns breaking off? How secure are they with just the ring of contact cement?
surprisingly secure. not, also they wont break they would just come off and need to be reglued. id rather they come off in high stress rather than risk the actors neck getting tweaked. but no, they hold on really well.
@@StiltbeastStudios Cool. When I say "break off" I just mean break their glue bond.
Great tutorial. As if it could be anything but...
Im sure I have made a turd or two lol.
I really want the black goat mask from the dark Lord on the chilling adventures of Sabrina.
Who doesn’t want a giant satanic goat head? Lol?
Awesome tutorial! Where did you get your eva from? I need to make an evil snowman, approx 10 feet tall and I think a nose out of the eva is going to be my best bet. Thanks in advance. ⛄️

I use exterior painter's tape to wrap up the end of the tip. Going across the tip with the tape before wrapping around the tip makes for a great seal
tape, or have constant things around to use the rest of the can on. thats the best really just an outlet to use the foam.
Do you use the high temperature on the heat gun or the “other” temp?
NEVER
Is it possible to do something similar on a silicone mask or is it only achieved on latex?
its certainly possible, just attaching them is different
@@StiltbeastStudios what would the best way to apply to silicone?
*Looks awesome!* 🤘 *Stay Scary!* 🎃
Thanks! You too!

Liquid nails. construction. Like a “bondo”
