You know it's a great project when even though you watched the full step by step creation process, when it is done you go "That's amazing! How in the world did he make something so cool?"
LOL! Really appreciate that. Please let me know if we go to fast or skip parts that we should elaborate on. We certainly want to provide details without dragging the episodes out. Thanks for watching!
Smugglers Room: I'm scared of EVA foam!
***Proceeds to absolute nail this awesome alien bust***
Nice job! great skills and videos!
LOL! Thank you. It's a lot of fun to work with, but totally intimidates me Ha Ha Ha!! Thanks for watching!
WOW! Love the lines cut in the straps. One would never know it was a modified "found" mask.
Jedi Knight Jairin Aiki thank you! Yep, we learned that awesome trick from Punished Props Academy. It really turns out great when you apply heat that way. Thanks for watching!
Until I stumbled across your channel; I honestly thought I was one of the only prop builders that used food packaging and drink lids in my builds. Glad to see I'm not alone.
Absolutely my friend! They make the best and most affordable greeblies don’t they? 🤣
Great build. Has an extra futuristic Professor Farnsworth feel to it.
Totally! Thank you, that’s awesome!
You continue to amaze me with your skills. You have out done yourself this time brutha! I can’t wait for the next part.
Thank you so much my friend, really appreciate the kind words!
I just watched an episode of The Clone Wars. This video plus that episode gives me inspiration for a Trandosian trophy room with a bunch of different Star Wars species heads on the wall.
Whoa!! That sounds fantastic!
Awesome, can't wait for your next video. This has given me some idea's, thank you.
Fantastic, inspiration is our biggest goal! Thank you so much!
I'm def gonna have to make something for my desk!!!
I'll doing it myself just right now using a Hasbro Star Wars helmet as base for a pilot of my own. Best timing ever. I'll post you a pic on Twitter anytime soon.
YES!!! Awesome stuff! Can’t wait to see it!
Most excellent!
Thank you!!!!!
Very very cool
Thank you!
Another excellent video! Can't wait for part 2!
Thank you !!!
As always, youve brightened my day and inspired me. I have recently been turning my room into a completely geeked out star wars room, including a droid DJ to spin up some tunes! None of this could have been done without your inspiration. One thing though, could you possibly provide an estimated cost for your projects in the future? It would really help for me and others to be able to build what you make
Thank you so much! Your project sounds amazing and I know we would all love to see it. I will try to include an estimated price for you in the future. It really will depend on the tools you might have, but I also include materials in the description that we purchase on Amazon, so you should be able to look through that for some pricing. We are currently also working on our Website to up the level of information including build logs with all the parts and pricing, i will keep you all posted on that. For this project I have an estimated $85 in material. But keep in mind that does not include tools or parts I had on hand. Hope that helps, we'll improve on this in the future to give you a better idea.
Expanding foam in a can is a great thing to use to fill the mask and give it the support you want. I love your channel and all the amazing projects you create. I also love the production value of your videos.
Very sweet! Oddly enough, this is the same mask I'm planning to use for my "alien encased in Carbonite"!
This video made me realize I need to make a dedicated greebly box. I have SO many good bits lying around.
Taradoxxi greeblie sorting and storage is a real thing!😁. We love Greeblie storage around here!
This looks so much better than what Disney has done
Much appreciated!
That's because fans have more passion than the mindless suits that are only interested in cash grabbing.
I love what you're doing! You've made me realize that all the cool little bits of things I've been saving over the years is my greeblies stash! One of these days I'm going to find the right project to use some of them. Thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome! I love greeblie stashes!!! Can't wait to see what you do with them! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video and audio quality, Outstanding quality projects, Outstanding production
How the H@$L do you not have 5 million subs???
Thank you for what you do, I thoroughly enjoy your videos!!!
Adam, Australia.
Thank you very much Adam, we really appreciate the kind words!
Beautiful to see you venture outside your comfort zone :-D
LOL, it was time my friend, have to keep experimenting and growing right? Thanks for watching!
If we aren't growing, we are backsliding! 😆
@@GratuitousSets You got that right my friend!
Lol- you and your toilet flanges....
You knocked that out so awesome
Thank you!
This is amazing!
I love this, it just shows that you dont meet expensive tools and fancy materials to make a bad ass cosplay
Wow! you really nailed it. it looks really great! 👍
Wow, thank you!
Outstanding! I have to get me some EVA foam.
Thank you, yes you do, it’s so much fun!
Awesome work. You make it look so easy!!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it!
Fantastic project! So awesome, very inspirational. Looks like it jumped right out of the extended universe
Thank you so much! That is such a great compliment to hear!
Love it man
Subscribed before I started the video. I just KNEW it would be awesome and interesting
Hey!!! Thank you so much!!!
That mask would be perfect for a cad bane cosplay.
Ha!!! Totally!! Thank you!
What can I say about that, I have no superlatives left; I can’t swear on a public forum!
THIS IS JUST FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve just shouted across the public address system at work trying to spread the word of your epicness🤣 I may be in trouble oh well it’s worth it😘
LOL!!!! Don't get fired on my account :) Thank you so much for the support and always watching. So much appreciated!
I’m the manager!!!!!!!!! We’re all good.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! For some reason I never even thought of using a Hallowwen mask to make a better display stand for my custom helmets!
crazy right? I started out thinking i would sculpt it, but then thought . . . halloween! LOL, thanks for watching!
Welcome to the wonderful world of EVA foam, brother!
Thank you! Its incredible stuff! WOW. I have so much to learn, but I had an absolute blast with it. Can't wait to start our Mando project ;)
@@TheSmugglersRoom Mando? I'm all over that, as you can probably tell by my avatar.
@@Plastic_Spaceman yes indeed. My wife and I are prepping for dual costume builds. We hope to have them built and ready for Star Wars Celebration next August. We'll be sure to bring you all on for the ride ;)
A great way to dip your toes into foam smithing. The scarf makes me think of some sort of desert dweller. I can't wait to see where this series ends up.
For sure my friend, that’s what we thought! I think you’ll get a kick out of what we do with it.
Oh hell yeah, a fellow Proptart! Glad you know of Punished Props!
You bet we are Proptarts! Love the team at Punished Props, and thank you for coming over for a look at what we are doing, we really appreciate it.
Looks amazing! I love the character. See you next week!
Thank you! I think you'll love what we are going to do with it!
Awesome project! Why wait, post part 2 already!!!!
LOL!!! I’m trying like crazy to finish it 🤣🤣🤣
😂
The Gold Peak tea lids have the same design as the Simply Juice lids.
Dude, another great video. Love it. Crossing my fingers for you to gain some sponsors to keep these vids coming!
Hi there, thanks so much! Don't you worry, we plan on keeping them rolling for ya. Thank you so much for watching and for the support!
It looks AMAZING, right now I'm making cosplay mandalorian armor, these techniques and seeing what you do definitely helps me. THANK YOU
Oh YEAH!!! Mando!!! would love to see what you come up with. Mando costumes are on our list too! Thanks for watching!
@@TheSmugglersRoom if you have an email I'd be happy to send it out to you
Great Idea,,,thanks for share
Absolutely! Thank YOU for watching!
Love this one so much. That scarf at the end really made it as well. Awesome stuff.
Thank you! Yeah the scarf really made it come alive. Thanks for watching!
I think Brian's a fan of the foam
I am now for sure! LOL
Brilliant
Thank you very much!
Great video! You are my favorite creator
Wow! Thank you very much!

Thank you! His name is Katar Arcadia . . . so think arcade ;)
Next one you should wear! Love the look of this!
Indeed. We have been talking about that very thing. It would be a chubbier version, but I’m good with that 🤣🤣🤣
Dude! Creating a character from scratch? I can see this guy standing at the bar in cantina ordering a drink Great job!
Thank you! That’s almost what he’ll be doing 😉
Stunning project, as always 😉 and really fun to build 👏👍
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Grats on 3K subs, you deserve it! (idk how long ago it was, but grats!)
Thank you!!! We really appreciate your support and being a part of our community!!!
this looks more star wars then anything disney has made in my opinion.
Thank you!
Bout to build a falcon interior to my truck
Here I was originally thinking just "droids and droid slots" and suddenly this pops up... making me want at least one lifesize alien from the franchise
Lol, so awesome to hear! Thank you!
There's that space guitar piece again.... :p :D
🤣🤣🤣
Noice!!!!
really cool !!!
....Now working up the nerve to create something ( :P
Thank you! Just go for it!
You need to have a create your own star wars character challenge
Love that idea!
You have done very well with this build, especially as a first time foam smith. I look forward to next week when I get to see what you are going to do with this bust.
My only question is in universe, how is the welding mask held on? I don't see a band or rivets or screws or other fasteners.
Thank you very much! You know, you are 100% correct, I need to asters how the goggles are attached. I will absolutely address that before the next episode. Thanks!
Another great build. How did your wife make the logo on the scarf?
Thank you! We used our Cricut Maker. Here is a Geek-e-cation video on that machine. It really does a lot of awesome things! th-cam.com/video/XC3i2GOKOOQ/w-d-xo.html
My character, Captain Vertigo, was the terror of the table. I was half-droid, half revolutionary. Hated the Empire, not too cool with the rebels, went into business for himself. At the end had better blaster skill than Han Solo, better power sword skill than Jedi, but it didn`t matter because Light side Force. Don`t have an arch-enemy that has mad force powers in this game. You will lose in the long run. Besides, everyone at the table was against me. I sort of betrayed them all. Good times.
Awesome
Tha cool
Have you considered... taking a mold of those juice lids?
I have, almost everytime i use them. The big problem is I have SO MANY OF THEM!!! Friends and family constantly give them to me, LOL
Question friends! Did you ever make a custom helmet?
Reminds me of the Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time album cover.
LOL! Great call!!!
How did you get The Model Head?
What's his name? And can I reference him in a fanfic
Is there a second part to this video? I can not find it.
Yep! Here you go th-cam.com/video/kFxTLAgdewc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=euLW9ioIagGlqOUd
5:47:
I’m not even deserving of making a reference.
There is something seriously wrong with you!!!
And I call it awesome.
🤣🤣🤣!!!! I just fell out of my chair laughing!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️
LOL, thank you sir!
where can I get that Pinstriping tape. I've been going mad trying to find out what it is called. lol
LOL, sorry to hear that 🤣. I get it from the automotive store, and it is actually called pinstriping. You can also get it on Amazon. Here is red: 1060 Graphics Double Pinstripes (Red) 1/8"- 1/8"- 1/4" Custom Vinyl Pinstriping Tape, Striping Sticker, Pin Stripe Decals www.amazon.com/dp/B081ZCMMYK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-RPhEbG9ZAYPF

Alien judge dredd
How About You Call Him Air Kicker!
I want to mention you and your channel on one of my upcoming videos and put a link in the description so if I have your (blessing) can you give me a link to your channel
Hey there, sorry for some reason your comment went into SPAM. By all means fire away! th-cam.com/users/thesmugglersroom
He looks like a bounty hunter
He kinda looks like Supreme Leader Snoke!
I think it’s his cousin, twice removed 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheSmugglersRoom you know what would be cool sliding hydraulic doors on your smugglers room.
Carl Beatty we totally want to have some. We haven’t looked into what it would take to do it, but we will😜
it looks like an albino duros species
:)
More greeblies, daddy
It doesn't matter how old a man is, when someone says they need underwire bust support, you snicker.
LOL!!!! Indeed! That's hilarious!!!!
Don't forget to grime up the scarf a bit.. Sweat stains around the neck, bit of yesterday's breakfast... because everyone knows you shouldn't try and eat those hydroised protein bars while piloting your ship. Especially when trying navigate an asteroid field... 🤤
Doh!!!! I can’t believe I forgot to weather it!! Thank you! You got that 110% correct!
