For aging/weathering I always use the water that I clean my paint brushes in. The color is different every time and it’s a mix of the colors I used to make the tombstone. I think this helps it blend well.
That's a great idea!
Mrs. VanOaks sounds like a cool lady! She must love all your creations.
Yes she is!
Worth the wait on part 2! It looks very real and the ivy was a great touch!
Thanks for watching Terri!
Coolest thing made with foam I've ever seen!
Thank you!
This prop looks so good. I love your cut-in piece, we all make mistakes and I love that you admit to them. My props never turn out exactly like I see in my head, and trust me, you don't want to see in my head.....
Absolutely. We all make mistakes regardless of how long we've been doing stuff. It's all part of the process.
Looks Great Derek!!
This would be SO cool with a green-ish light inside. I love that thing. xD
Good idea!
I always love your honesty, or when you do things that you didn’t not like, or didn’t go as planned, I always say, Custer had a plan.
I think we've all been there is a prop ... planning and expecting 1 thing and ending up with another. That is how we learn and grow. Still turned out wonderful and nobody who sees it in your display will notice but you.
Definitely. Thanks!
That is so freaking KOOL
These are really awesome videos and I SO appreciate you showing these techniques! I'm sure people have told you this before - but you have a voice that is PERFECT for doing voice-over work, audiobook work, commercials, anything. You may not want to explore that... but I just wanted to let you know in case you'd never thought about doing it. It's a tough gig to break into (I've never been successful doing anything more than local gigs), but with your voice I would think you would have an edge over us "normal-voiced" people. :)
The marble texture looks so realistic
Thank you!
Unbelievably good
Thanks man!
I'll absolutely love his videos. I've been wanting to build one of these for a long time but never find the vacuum form. Thank you so much
Nicely done, as usual. Another hint for marbling, use a feather for the dark veins..........
I’ve never had good luck using a feather.
Great Prop, its Nice to Include Mistakes we make as Well as Great Work. The Point is to Try. 😀😃
I absolutely love the way this turned out! Yet another amazing prop for your cemetery! 😍
Thanks Jessica!
Great job! I can't wait to see this in its 'final' display on run night.
Fingers crossed!
Love how you think to use everyday products and how it comes out so realistic! And your marbling (marble-ing) is spot on! Enjoyed this custom column and the making of it!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow! Nice job! Smart wife too.
You have no idea. Like a Rolodex of reference.
you have MAD SKILLS
Thanks Chris!
The whole prop is AWSOME and the following effect is simple amazing. Thanks for sharing this :-)
Thanks Peter! I appreciate that
Really cool. Love your techniques.
Thanks so much!
That came out awesome...
Thanks Tim!
It turned out awesome!
Thanks, Blake!
Thanks very much for the details!
You bet!
Totally amazing!
Thank you Nancy!
Well done!
Thank you!
Oh ok got it !!!
Mrs Van Oaks lol, might be the best thing in your work shop
it looks great all done dude. If you really hate the weathering , you can just send it to me and Ill happily dispose of it for you LOL.
I get the fine airbrush gets covered, but it was reeeaallly light to begin with. Anyone would be proud to have that one in their yard
You’re not wrong. She’s got a great eye, and mental reference bank that is top notch.
Came out awesome buddy, I think you nailed it! Looks great and is such a fun classic effect! Thanks for sharing Derek!😍🎃👍
Thanks Steve!!
looking awesome!
Thanks!
Part one was fantastic and part 2 didn’t disappoint. A really good build and again so many good techniques. I felt a bit for you that you were a bit disappointed with the final outcome, but I think that’s part of the learning (certainly the way my experiences seem to go)! Looking forward to your next project.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That came out great!
Thanks Mike!
Very good job Derek!
Thanks so much!
Great finish to the project, Derek! Your paint job was very well done, though I agree the aging layer was a little strong. It happens! I think I'd like to try the same illusion but perhaps on a large tombstone, and see if there was a way to try it without interior lighting. It would be a painting challenge to provide highlights and shadows, but might be interesting. Thanks again for sharing your creative endeavors. I hope to see VanOaks Cemetery this year if you do it.
You can light it from the front/below to achieve a similar effect.
Even though you're not quite happy with the weathering I think this still turned out great. Just wanted a share a little tip I learned about speckle - the easiest way I've found to do it well is with a can of spray paint, and you just press the nozzle very lightly until it starts 'spitting'. Works really well if you get the distance right. Also I found to get a more "streaky" appearance for marble, you can dip a wire brush in paint and then flick it on the prop. Happy haunting!
Thanks for the tip!
I won't be able to sleep tonight waiting for it!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Turned out fantastic, following busts are such fun to look at, love it. 😉👍
Thanks guys!!
Very cool. Your work is awesome.
Thanks Rex
Wow this is such a awesome Halloween prop, it looks so real 🎃💀🧟♀️
Thanks Susie!
Loved part 1 and I'm crazy for part two
Hopefully it didn't disappoint!
The only way that it will be a disappointment is if I don't make it. The way that you finished it is just spectacular
I think the weathering turned out great. It reminds me of similar monuments in Providence, RI's Swan Point cemetery. They darken over time due to it raining so much (& all the ghosts sitting on them).
Thanks! I’ll have to add Swan Point to my list of cemeteries to visit. Mrs. VanOaks and I love RI and try to visit often.
@@VanOaksProps I was born & raised in RI and lived there for most of my life. I lived in Coventry & the Coventry town cemetery was a place I spent a lot of time reading in. It was and is a really beautiful & serene place. Swan Point has Lovecraft's grave so you'll earn horror fan cred visiting plus they have Lovecraft tours. Best part is it's New England so you get lots of great spooky old architecture. I hope to be able to go back some day. I miss it.
That marble look, looks amazing
Thanks so much!
Another great video
Thanks Greg!
It's awesome 👌
Thank you!
Tricks with concave shapes have always been fascinating to me. The video looks great and I really liked it when you got ahead of the comments about the final painting step. Perhaps with a brighter surface you could have had more option to remove the weathering, of course you would later have to re-seal it in matte.
In any case a pleasure to see you work.👍
Thanks for watching!
WOW So Awesome ! :) Ill take 2 please :)
Thanks Rob!
You needed a little more aging (roughing the edges) and maybe the ivy needed to be dead ivy...black. loved the process!
Magnificent (as usual) Derek! I wonder if painting the bust to match the stone would help or hurt the overall effect.
I had the same question. I may just have to find out!
It's clear to me that as a Halloween enthusiast, I should follow your videos if I want to make something that looks realistic & creepy ;)
You should!
Amazing love it ❤️👋👋👋👋👋👋🏅🏆
Thank you!!
Thanks for posting Pt2. This looks so cool I may be trying this in the near future. I particularly like that you tell us what you think didn't go exactly as you would have liked. It helps to learn with you. :)
One note: the chickenprops link didn't work for me. It took me tona broken page. I was able to find the busts from there, but the direct link didn't work.
Keep up the good work. I love your series.
Thanks for letting me know about the link. I've fixed it. For some reason TH-cam doesn't like it when you copy/paste from other video descriptions, even when they're your own. LOL
Hi! For the uninitiated I think a Short discussion of how the effect works and how the lighting enhances it would be in order.
Not to tell you how to run your channel, but I showed the video to a couple friends and both reacted with "so what?"
More explanation of the overall effect might bring more viewers (if you're into that).
Peace!
Thanks for the suggestion.
This is truly amazing. Can you please tell me what lights you've used for inside? Thank you so much!
Everything I used can be found in the video description with links to where they can be purchased 👍🏻
@@VanOaksProps YES! I looked thru that but didn't even see them. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING YOUR VIDEOS! I'm following you on TikTok now, too. :) Happy Haunting!
I think if you would of painted the bust the same marble color it would of looked really good, but I know you wanted it to light up from behind
Yeah, it's always a battle between form and function. I may try some translucent paints to see if I can bring down the white of the bust to a color that more closely matches the grey of the monument but still passes light through.
Well, despite the setback I'd say it turned out even better than even I hoped! Though, If it we're mine I'd paint the eyes a red color and make it look more evil.
Thanks!
Sucks that we cant get those XPS plates over here in the Netherlands. How much they cost over there? We mainly have EPS over here... There are some sellers but then one plate of 60x260x3CM (like 21"x 100" x1") cost like $70
Curious as to how it would work/look, if you painted the bust the texture as the stone....
It would diminish the amount of light that passes through the bust some, but depending on your lighting situation it might work.
Turned out fantastic! I actually loved the weathering and felt it brought it all together. Great job. The only variation I think I would have tried would have been doing dead vines and overgrowth rather than thriving green. Question... Do you think if the bust was a bit less detailed, this could be used to create a talking or interactive face with rear projection mapping?
Thank you! Yes, if the bust was less detailed you could project onto it, but there's the potential of distortion around the edges as people moved off axis of it.
@@VanOaksProps ah. Very true. May be worth playing with if it was done in the right manner or possibly used 2 separate projectors using the same video source carefully aligned so that they could be placed at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions so the edge detail stayed relatively the same. Or a simpler method would be to have it be forced frontal perspective like at the end of a hall or corridor that was roped off or inaccessible.
@@BroughtToYouByDDean I may need to test this out now... haha
@@VanOaksProps haha! If you do, let me know how it goes! Thanks again for the awesome content.
I now have a need to make this...wondering how to make this work with solar lighting since we lack power at the entry to the farm... We set up a haunt every year all solar
I'm sure there's solar powered LED strip lights. You'd just need to hide the solar panel behind the monument.
Do you think the dry lock would be enough to protect card board? Also do you put your fabric in the monster mud or just paint on ?
Cardboard may absorb some of the moisture in the Drylok, so I don't recommend it. I think its best to soak the fabric and then wring out as much as you can before placing it onto your prop. Then if you see any dry spots, brush those areas on.
How do you set up these style of Halloween decorations so they don't get blown over? I live in a place that there's often a breeze.
We’re in an area that doesn’t typically see high winds, but here is what I suggest: th-cam.com/video/luyjpX5b5pQ/w-d-xo.html
Reminds me of the singing busts at Haunted Mansion. Are you going to do the part that broke off to lie on the ground on front of it? Also is there any way to just make a donation to your channel without having to do a monthly thing?
No plans for the broken off portion, but it’s a great idea. As for donations, if you use Venmo you can send to @vanoaksprops
You can also sign up at patreon, choose the amount you want to donate, and once the transaction is complete you can cancel your membership. A bit clunky, but it offers the most payment options. And even if you don’t donate, I appreciate that you want to.
Where did you find the face mold for this prop? I can't find anything like it anywhere!?
Links can be found in the video description.
Where did you get the bust? Or did you 3D print it?
It was 3d printed from a model I found online.
Where did you get the plastic face ?
There’s a link to it in the video description.
is Plasti Dip different than Flex Seal? I think Flex Seal melts foam
It’s similar but may have a different chemical make up that causes the foam to melt
Where did you get your background music?
It’s from audiojungle.net
Does anyone else think he sounds like Casey Kasem?
hey @vanoaksprops
huge question what kind of glue gun is that !?? never seen a wireless glue gun before
It’s a Surebonder. There’s a link to it in the video description if you want to learn more about it
@@VanOaksProps huge thanks !

There’s a link in the video description to Chickenprops.com.
@@VanOaksProps thanks
Dang Derek...every time I watch one of your awesome videos I end up spending some money, $58 and $60.48 this time.
Hahaha!
After all that and you didn't show us the final effect with the LEDs lit up and moving the camera to show the head following? Argh! Why did not you show us that?
I did! Goto 9:15.
@@VanOaksProps Sorry dude. When I watched it, an add kicked in right as you finished building and I thought it was the end of the video. Thanks for getting back to me. I watched it again and it looks GREAT!
No problem. 👍🏻
