  • @MichaelTotin
    @MichaelTotin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love the addition of the sinker weights. I've acquired a mass of different forms of lead that I add to all of my props now. Typically I seal them with a metal sealer first, just in case, and to help bind them to the surfaces I'm gluing it too. A little weight can make a big difference in a prop.
    Super ballsy on the direct paint to plastic. I at least do a light wash with mineral spirits and water and then use at least a light coat of adhesion promoter despite the paint. Impressive.

    • @punishedprops
      @punishedprops  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We've found that a light sanding works really well. It's the same when modifying NERF guns or similar toys. Of course it always depends on the surface quality you're aiming for and the overall quality of the prop. But for a quick, fun repaint just sanding works great.

    • @MichaelTotin
      @MichaelTotin 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used to do that, but outside of sanding off logos and the like I just wipe the plastic down with a little paint thinner, then I use some adhesion promoter that lets me apply my top coat within ten minutes of the final coat of adhesion promoter. It's been working great for me thus far and I don't need to worry about the paint brand or type, dupli-color, tamiya, etc.

I use Plasti Dip For EVA foam AND plastics that don't take paint well because of flexibility. And i use oil paints for distressing and even painting full parts on EVA, for that i seal it with KRYLON sealer clear chalky finish. ...

Or should I just go ahead with the graphite? Either way awesome work and thank you for reading this!

    I use KRYLON Flat white FIRST to Opaque the painting on the car frame, THEN when that is dried I go back with a couple of layers of KRYLON GLOSS WHITE and It looks SO COOL and PERFECT!!! I ALSO Use the FLAT WHITE Before i put the Body Color on a car and it makes the Body color MUCH More VIBRANT and "JEWEL TONE" Like! :D KRYLON PAINTS ROCK!!!

    ...electrical tape on the grip...
    You could also have done a hockey grip on it with friction tape. Take a strip of friction tape and twist it into a string. Wrap one end of the string around the butt end of the handle and put a couple of turns of friction tape around the handle and string. Wind the string in a wide spiral up the handle and stop where it seems reasonable (generally as long as your hand is on the handle). Wrap a single layer of friction tape from the butt of the handle up to where you ended the string of tape. Snip off excess string. Optional: Use more friction tape to build up the butt of the handle so that there's a lot of mass to rest against the back edge of your palm.

    mhmm I like the idea of the tape on the handle, my choice would have been hockey stick tape, but more power to you.
    You did an amazing job. my favorite part is the grid you added to the led screen.

    I was friends with Michael C. Gross before he passed. He designed the “No Ghosts” logo as art director for Ghostbusters… he’d have enjoyed this.

      No. The No Ghost logo was Dan Aykroyds idea way back in 81-83, Gross just finalized the look. The No Ghost was in the first draft of the Ghostbusters script.

    I wonder if there's somewhere i can take mine to get repaired. (I have no idea how to fix electronics.) One of the light bulbs on the right hand "wing" burned out (or was already burned out) the day I got it. It was a Christmas present I got this year.

    Looks awesome, I would think that someone would have to use plastic. Be hard for someone in their garage to make custom pressd moldings for equipment

    I would like to see you guys make a cybernetic arm. (Not a real one obviously!)

    Was the sealer a flat color sealer?

    I know it seems weird but try using hair spray for sealing the graphite layer! It's a trick i learned for working with charcoal and graphite on paper to prevent smearing and i find it works sometimes on other surfaces

    I have the same birthday as Ernie Hudson and I have met the man that both created and wore the Stay-Puff suit in the original movie. :)

    Hey Bill,
    I just made a mold of an original Iona shoe polisher. If you like I could send you a casting, if you wanted to scratch build a PKE meter

      Thanks for the offer. I don't know when we might get to a build like that, but if you insist on sending us a casting, we would appreciate it! Email us for address info: punishedprops.com/contact-us/

    arent those wing thingies supposed to go further up the closer you are to a ghost?

    • @bluestreakbthr

      The motorization of the Spirit PKE meter isn't really controllable via potentiometer like the on-screen version. There have been some mods with varying levels of success with potentiometer mods. This one is just up/down.
