My Son watched this video for 3 days straight (6 yrs old) and led me to Home Depot and Ave Hardware to snag up all the pieces - we kept it at about $40 and have leftover materials ! So that’s awesome , we built it in about 3 hours to make and he is in HIS GLORY !! Super cool !! Thanx so much !
I decided not to count stuff I already have especially tools since I figure anyone who tries to make this already had some DIY experience. But spray paint is usually around $3 and I think that glue gun was $10 :)
Dustin McLean Saimeren the glue itself is 10-15$/ kg too, so no big deal, good spray paint is 5-7$ though, but you probably won't use the whole can. and most of the stuff used here, you can get used, or you may have it around (dowels, bottles, nuts etc...) I think this can be done for under 10$ if you have the tools and scrap laying around.
Gavin Wilkins shoepolish will give it a darker metal shine/look, but yeah, you're gonna have black smudges on the edges where you can't really wipe it off
DreamyNightmare Fate and I must be pretty good buddies because I have a tendency to rest my keyboard on my lap, which has resulted in many, many, MANY drops. Seriously. I've had a few keys pop off, but pop back on fine.
Thanks for inspiring me. I built my own for around $10 bucks. Instead of using washers, I used PVC caps. For $7 dollars more, I built a case.. Under $20 for everything. Keep in mind, I had most of the stuff. PVC Pipe, Washers, Hot glue gun, Misc wire, Wood. Most important, A creative mind.
I had a classmate that made a portal gun. Out of paper. He took a 3D model, imported into AutoCAD, and used a program that converted it into papercraft. It was a lot of work, took weeks, but it was totally worth it.
TH-cam didn't "buy" them. Erik never owned Indy Mogul in the first place. He made the pilot for NextNewNetworks and then they funded it as a show. Think of it more as a TV show than anything. When the network isn't getting as much out of a show as they want to, they cancel it. Although Backyard FX ended way before the channel itself was ended.
***** ***** you two do relies this is a completely different show/series right? or is owning a forge and smithing up a real blade considered a cheep prop build these days
If you take a dark brown stain and thin it with mineral spirits you can "wash" paint it onto the metal areas. then after its dry spray silver onto a rag to "Dry brush" back up to silver on the raised area of the steel. this will give the metal more of a grimy oily look.
I really enjoy watching the prop builds. I probably won't ever do one myself, but they are fun to watch. I must say that the terminator arm looks awesome. You did a really good job. Thanks for sharing
Looks really good. The only thing I would've tried to do different is the shape of the forearm. All of the rods stood straight up, making the shape more cylindrical. It should be more conical, starting wide at the elbow and gradually becoming thinner towards the wrist. But that's just a nitpick.
Great job! Definitely looking forward to more of this series and really cool frugal ways to build some replicas. :D Keep up the good work and ignore all the Man at Arms whiny children. I love swords and metal badass weapons just as much as the next person but its also nice to know that you dont need a expensive workshop and materials to make some really neat things from your favorite movies,game, comics and so on. :D
Brilliant fair play, to add some finishing touches to it though, get some black and white acrylic paints and go over it with a sponge, mix different shades of grey and stuff, give it a real dark metallic look.
You inspired me to do what i always wanted to do. Make a T-800 arm! Only diff is i had a lot of metal at my disposal. Lol wish i could post a picture in the comments.
Black steel plumbing parts are significantly cheaper than galvanized, for anyone who's looking to save a few bucks but still build the base. A 1/2" black steel floor flange is about $3.50 here, for instance.
Rory McDonald Well I did make a knife, but only because my uncle's friend had a blacksmith's shop like the one in Man at arms, not as big but it still got the job done
We built this, thanks to your easy step by step video, but after 3 month its suddenly fell of the side, so a yrar on im going to makr a nother 1,loved the video brother, i hope yout staying safe during this hard time we are going through.
This is so awesome ! Thank you - i was looking for a gift for a friend of mine who is a big terminator-fan. Now i know what he will get :-) Hope i can do this half as good as you did.
You should make a iron man mask, I've been very interested in how to build your own types of props, but have never known how to really get started with em
SuperSMT I don't think it will be too expensive, it's just the time you need to spend on figuring out how the mechanic works. same materials and add some screws on the joints might be an easy way, controlled by strings.
personally i would have used a bit of plasticard to beef up the water bottle section a bit so it looks less, flimsy. After spraying it all silver you could use some thinned down dark brown or black oil paint from an arts and crafts store and give the whole thing a nice wash with it. this helps add some depth and shading to the paintjob so it doesnt look so "clean" and actually makes it look more like realistic metal from a distance.

i have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite show
I'm making more DIY Props over on my channel, go check it out!
I’m gonna make one now. I totally need this in my room since it’s filled with nerdy/pop culture stuff :D
Dustin is by far my favorite. Nobody else really gets into detail like he does. He needs to do more videos.
he's not coming back, I'm afraid
+Never Forget lol see what you did there
This was seriously awesome. I might have to try this on my next day off. But every time someone sais something is $30 it ends up being closer to $75.
I promise I spent $30! And half of that was just for that stand, no joke, so really you could spend less. :)

I think this can be done for under 10$ if you have the tools and scrap laying around.
Alex The Kaiser you probably shouldn't use glue sticks that are that old though. they cant hold as well, and may clog up your glue gun.
Just depends on what u can find and where u look but it's still awesome
FLUX CAPACITOR!!!!!
•Finn• Thirded.
•Finn• flux capacitor + hoverboard
SuicideNeil fifthed
•Finn• Sixthed .
Defo need a video on how to build that :D
That would be great
If only he continued making awesome props. This channel especially dustin himself is a big reason I'm into prop making now
You might enjoy my Channel @PERRYS_PROPS
Cover it with black shoepolish, wipe it off and it'll look awesome
I prefer the clean look
Gavin Wilkins shoepolish will give it a darker metal shine/look, but yeah, you're gonna have black smudges on the edges where you can't really wipe it off
It would've helped the look. But I'd be scared as hell to touch it after it turned out so good.
This is finally the show I've been looking for. Defenetly one of the best shows I've seen on TH-cam so far
DUSTIN!!!! I'VE MISSED YOU! Ben is great at Homemade Movies, and a good replacement, but I hope you know that we didn't forget you. Cheers!
Thank you!
Dustin McLean OHMYGOD HE REPLIED OH MYaqefsgbf eiaf um, I just dropped my keyboard :/
DreamyNightmare Fate and I must be pretty good buddies because I have a tendency to rest my keyboard on my lap, which has resulted in many, many, MANY drops. Seriously. I've had a few keys pop off, but pop back on fine.
Do you know why cinefix replaced Dustin
Lon Chaney Fan me too i miss dustin

Please make a Portal Gun from Portal 2
I had a classmate that made a portal gun. Out of paper. He took a 3D model, imported into AutoCAD, and used a program that converted it into papercraft. It was a lot of work, took weeks, but it was totally worth it.
Just look it up on BFX

I love the way dustin builds with junk it makes it easier to build if your on a budget or your work space is not a highend work shop.
"don't touch his hand he'll shatter" that was quite funny
this show reminds me of backyard FX
0_0 yes it does now I think about it
I miss them
Chet Wilson do you know y they ended it
From my understanding TH-cam bought them and later thought that it was to expensive and not doing good enough
TH-cam didn't "buy" them. Erik never owned Indy Mogul in the first place. He made the pilot for NextNewNetworks and then they funded it as a show. Think of it more as a TV show than anything.

Assassins creed Hidden balde ?
They made it already a log time ago xD
***** ***** you two do relies this is a completely different show/series right? or is owning a forge and smithing up a real blade considered a cheep prop build these days
Douglas Dover ow sorry xD But i think that he/they made it already too :)
***** you can, I have already seen it
Ya thats a great idea

Woah! I liked the way he was narrating his own work with like a clone hahahaha
Haha good! I don't know why but I thought it would be cool to do that.
Dustin McLean Wait you mean there aren't 2 of you D:?
Great addition to AWE Me! Hope to see more of this show
Every other week! The next few episodes are already pretty rad (if I do say so myself) :)

Looks really good. The only thing I would've tried to do different is the shape of the forearm. All of the rods stood straight up, making the shape more cylindrical. It should be more conical, starting wide at the elbow and gradually becoming thinner towards the wrist. But that's just a nitpick.
Well now I know what to make for my friend's birthday, thanks.

DUSTIN PLS CELL YOUR THINGS THAT YOU MAKE PLSSSSSSSSS
