Captain America's Shield : DIY

[@CoolAsALego]

This is one of the many tutorials John Walker watched

[@TheShannonagains]

Every now and then I come back to this video because it was my first build and major inspiration for getting into filmmaking.

[@Darkmane13]

Nice build! I believe this is how you can fix your strapping problem: Mark where you'll need your bold holes for your straps. Then, using a ball-pein hammer, you should pound the marked holes in a bit. Then drill the bolt holes for your straps. You've now got sunken holes for your bolts. You'll use less bondo and sandpaper as you finish your shield. I'm in the S.C.A. and have built many shields for fighting.

[@KingRichard1013]

My childhood right here. I remember at one point I tried to make some of the stuff that they made and I failed miserably😂.

[@lukabodruzic8078]

ahh the memories of watching this show

[@JoeMarranca]

R.I.P. BFX you will be truly missed in all of indy filmaker's heart

[@NobodysUke]

Can you make a DlY on Captain America: The Winter Solider, Winter Solider/Bucky's arm?

[@TheBeskarBucket]

They're done. For like 3 years.

[@partofthiscompletebreakfas5937]

JandJify they're back

[@um...angelo]

Just returning here because TFATWS S01E05 dropped and this is how Walker should’ve done it.

[@KevinLuper99]

The helmet looks like something angus young would wear...

[@RyDog905]

I'm from Canada, but still Captain America is among my favorite super heroes. I found the tutorial very interesting.

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

Where did he get the jacket?

[@starscout4life]

LOVED IT! I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a very long time now.

[@scrathed]

At the moment I am working on a superhero(or supervillain) Outfit based on the look of the Winter Soldier, but a little more... oldschool. So... kind of the Winter Soldier in the first Captain America movie, in WW2 :D And I want to add a shield to the outfit, so now I know how to do it :D Very cool thing you made there, I really like it! Mine will be... I think grey and brass/golden with a gearwheel instead of the star in the center. So it will be kinda steampunk Supervillain :D

[@Solarstar10]

That sounds totally frickin awesome. I hope you upload a video, I actually subscribed in hope that you do.

[@scrathed]

Solarstar10 Ouh Thanks a lot :D Of course I'll upload a video ;)

[@RichardElric14]

I actually made one on the same day, but my materials were much simpler. I used a pizza box, scissors, red paint, paper, and yellow and blue foam. All of that would cost me less than $50, but I guess that's why YOU'RE the effects master. ;)

[@sweetfire99]

bring the show back PLZ IT WAS AWESOME

[@axeman3d]

As always it all looks a little rough close up, but on screen during the action it all looks superb. Well done guys.

[@zombiedude6543]

Made this a few years ago with my godfather. Fun project. We bolted the leather straps on and it's been on and rock solid since we built it

[@jiwbink]

THX 4 POSTIN THIS!! MY 10 YR OLD NEPHEW IS SO GONNA LOVE ME FOR MAKIN THIS FOR HIM!! TY TY TY TY TY!!!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Cool, but this is kind of similar to the portal gun in that you can't really use it for anything else. You should do a Sci-fi movie month!

[@BridgesMickey]

My son loves the shield. Thanks for that tip on the straps.

[@TheTrueRandomness]

That was one of the best BFX episodes in a LONG time! AMERICAAAA....F**K YEAH!

[@GTAtomten]

I love your builds, Zack! keep it up.

[@BaconLettucePickles]

Making it out of a satellite dish explains why its as small as it is. I'm thinking a snow sled disk would be the better size. It's still an awesome prop and can be modded into many different shield types. Well Maybe not a kite shield.Thanks for finally putting this out Zack and Co.

[@Dinoman217]

Petition to bring back BFX! Thumbs up if you guys agree!

[@TheD1158]

we all love bfx dont kill it its the only reason ive subbed

[@ComicsFromScratch]

I'm really gonna miss this show.

[@Rudde47]

This is why I love America, their movies :D

[@gameaddictor299]

thank you, zak! you're so awesome! you do better props and test films than erik.

[@jcbriseno]

now I finally know what to do with my old satellite dish that is on my rooftop.. thank you!!!!

[@ScratchTent]

Man! I wish we had this for our film! :O

[@starwarsguysrule]

If you live in a state with snow you could probably do this for about twenty bucks. All you would need to do is buy one of those circle sleds and some spray paint. But a cool build none-the-less.

[@exactlythatsthepoint]

I'm in awe of your creativity :D

[@dannysheppard2468]

dont worry about bolting the straps, i dont know why zach didnt know this but you have to scratch or sand metal before glueing, had he done that his straps would be fine

[@hildago25]

You should do these builds; snorricam, chestmount, electicity sparks, collapsable knives stakes swords etc, flycam steadicam system, cine blimp.

[@stormgilson7109]

the problem with the glue is probobly the smooth surface. you should scratch the area you want to glue, or use an acid

[@CodedLockFilms]

For those who don't have access to a satellite dish, I'd imagine that a circular snow sled would work pretty well too.

[@fireteamperidotnova1728]

I believe the reason the glue didn't stick well would be because you didn't prep the areas. if you sanded off the greyish coating I bet it would make for better bonding, would love to hear if it works or not

[@Clement69002]

Long live to USA !!!!!!! I love you so much american people !

[@harvieslater]

The first KZbin channel I ever saw.

[@heartlessangel7]

Best DIY EVA!!!!

[@TheOceanspray99]

Tip: Instead of hot glueing the straps on the back, use jb weld to attach 4 bolts to the back, then secure the straps on with some nuts. JB weld never comes off, so it'll stay secure.

[@MrCapspidey]

It was easy and fun making it. Good to make a other one. :) thanks

[@fourstarphil00]

Fan Made Trailer is awesome!

[@dlepore4]

I just started this build todayt its looking good so far

[@Kathington]

If you deeply score the area you are gluing the belts on to it will create a stronger bond and actually keep them attached.

[@jjstudiosandtutorialsyea1424]

this is the coolest show it would be cool if you could show us how to make real explosion effect but not an air pressured debree please:)

[@Bergability]

I like how the past few tutorials have been making a video for a tutorial that was from someone else and you "made it your own." You should try making it on your own.

[@Lamboman1016]

rivet belts to thick metal strips from home depot. then attach metal strips to back of shield with mounting tape (20lbs strength). BOOM problem solved

[@BurttheBard]

@slowandpainless I tried using an old trash can lid I found in my garage. After I painted it, put some straps on it, and customized it a little more, it was AWESOME for Paintball!

[@SpaceMan1400]

A Gears of War Torque Bow would be a interesting build :)

[@Dinoman217]

I have one in my garage! It's more of a scalloped shape, so I'll cut it into shape with tin-snips!

[@VariablePenguin]

Heck yes! Great work on this.

[@HpProductions07]

I couldn't find a satellite dish anywhere to use for the shield but I did use a foam saucer snow sled as a mold and did 5 layers of fiber glass over it then pulled it off and cut to 25 inches in diameter and used that for my shield and it turned out great.

[@dickson1o1]

im not sure whether i hate you or think you're the best, cause everytime i REALLY NEED a prop you make it the week AFTER i need it; example: the assassin's creed blade the week after halloween, and now the captain america shield after i needed one last week. its like somebody throwing a kevlar vest to you after you get shot

[@plotcoalition]

WE NEED BFX BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DanielS2001]

Couldn't you just bolt or pop rivet the straps to the dish first and, use bondo to cover the tops of the bolts, sand it smooth so that the bolts don't show? I would assume that would work to make it look smooth.

[@FlamingRoseStudios]

I think the glue didn't hold because of the paint, if you sand of the paint, and 'key' the metal with a grinding pad/steel wool, the glue would have a better chance of sticking.

[@VenomOrochi]

i was planning to do this, a little bigger if possible, i was thinking on using 2 metal disc (one of them bigger than the other) and bolt the straps on the smaller disc, then mount the big one and fold the edges to wrap the 2 discs together... a little more complicated but that would solve the strap issue

[@m0n5terZERO]

Breaking away from video game/movie prop stuff for a bit, as awesome as it is, maybe a show on transformation? Like a werewolf or other monster. Stretching limbs, growing fur, that kind of thing.

[@mwlydell]

you know, i used to look forward to indymogul, now i can't afford anything or have the skill to do it. i miss erik beck!

[@Kaiju17]

Shame this is the final episode, I'll miss this show. :(

[@starscout4life]

I can't give thumbs up, because I have already started the process of making it.

[@dinoxlover64]

DUDE I LOVE YOU!!!! but mostly CAPTAIN AMERICA

[@tylomymakan1479]

awwwsome. captain america is my favorite hero. so sad that iny mogul ended...

[@FinestSkydiver]

got my dish today thx for the diy man

[@Kisskiss019]

Best day to put this up Im glad you wated

[@littleace31]

This was really cool. And it looks really easy to do... But it there any way you can try to make the gears of war carmine armor...

[@kakashi1578]

Direct TV Repair Guy: "So tell me again...You did WHAT with your satellite dish?!"

[@ClipCentral]

Thumbs up if you say Wooo with the guy that says, "Super Time Lapse Woo"

[@JakexFTWx]

I like it ALOT better when the builds arent so specific.

[@RicardoWilliams]

Very cool. I'd love to try this.

[@BattyNos1922]

Nice build!

[@CrimsonCascade]

DAT.MOVIE.WAS.EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@willelliott8100]

to get the glue or duct tape to stick better all they had to do was sand off the coating where needed on the back to metal and then rough it up

[@danielanderson8017]

What shirt is that? It looks cool. The Captain America one.

[@DanielS2001]

@Minigun101 The mask you're asking about is called a "V for Vendetta" mask (aka "Guy Fawkes mask"). You can buy them anywhere, including Amazon or eBay, or wait until Halloween, when they have tons of them available at any Halloween store.

[@dlepore4]

Im in the middle of building this right now and decided to bolt on the straps cause i wanted to make it last.so I used Bondo to cover them and it is pretty solid I wouldnt say real heavy but its going to be a bit of a chore to carry around all day.when my costume is done.

[@onyxwar2758]

3:19 Target Logo.

[@TheJPinder]

can you guys do a diy anamorphic adapter for a dslr. I know that one is available for $150 which isn't too pricey, but let's see if you guys can knock one out for less

[@darkdestiny661]

COOL i'm not American But HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!! p.s. CAPTAIN AMERICA FTW

[@brandooooon5]

i know it like another 20 bucks but do you think you could have got another dish and bolted the straps to that then glued or used adhesive to stick em together? it sounds good i just want to know if it would actually work.

[@MeltedValdor]

thanks for the tutorial I'm gonna wear the costume when I see the movie

[@TolenFett]

LOVE IT!! GO AMERICA!!

[@DomOne8]

how about MIG welding the bolts to the back and angle grinding it down? granted most people don't have a welder but it should be a pretty secure solution :)

[@GameBoy3456]

WOOT I JUST MADE IT AND ITS SOO EPIC

[@23sutts]

im canadian but this is a great vid.

[@YnotOilgof]

we have waited so long

[@Dinoman217]

Go up on instructables! The same guy who made the shield this way also made another shield out of cardboard and duck tape!

[@Kustar10]

You could also use a sled. If you live in a snowy place.

[@BaconLettucePickles]

@TheAwsome3138 look for those plastic dish shaped snow sleds. Cut it 30 inches in diameter. Add a second layer on the inside to actually attach the straps to so you don't have the same problems the BFX crew had.

[@rrjmflores]

Thank you for the advice on how to make the shield, I would love to show you pics of the shield my husband made using your video not sure how though :(

[@BurttheBard]

it was very good, BUT couldn't you use foam to make the shield, and how are you supposed to get it on your back?

[@BBC69BBC]

Nice chest & thanks for the tutorial

[@ImaginaryNate]

You should make a video giving a tutorial on Hawkeye's bow and costume

[@MrDaftCraft]

Bondo: A prop maker's best friend

[@Giggins1]

finnally ive been waiting forever since you said soon

[@stumpedfilmmaking]

do something like cybertroninan, that would be sick, just like an arm cannon or one of the pillars or even, a robot helmet, just but with the bay-like realism to it youknow? thatd be sweet

[@TheEricon]

ending backyard fx was the worst thing that could happen in the universe.....speaking which i miss you guys im no entretained anymore the same way as before people so what could we do lets comment thumbs up support and show them that we still need them beacuse they are the best hell yea!!

[@marianamulberry5224]

You make it look so easy!! >.<

[@LittleDragon17]

I'd like to see a few things made: A Michael Jackson thriller Werewolf head mask Cloud Strife's Original Buster Sword full sized from Final Fantasy 7 And maybe Squall Leonheart's gunblade from Final Fantasy 8
