How to Make Boba Fett's Blaster from Star Wars The Book of Boba Fett - Free PDF Cosplay Template

How to Make Boba Fett's Blaster from the new Disney + series The Book of Boba Fett. This is a perfect foam prop for a new Star Wars Boba Fett or Mandalorian Cosplay. This Carmine blaster is hand made out of EVA HD-Foam, PVC pipes, and wood dowels so it is extremely lightweight (15.7 ounces) and completely con safe! In this video I showcase the tools and techniques used to assemble the blaster as well as the painting techniques to bring it to life. Including metallic replication using graphite powders and acrylic washes for the wood stock. If you would like to make your own I have Free PDF files available on my website that you can download to build right along with me.

challenge you to do a full tutorial build like this for the Titanfall 2 v-47 flatline. similar wood and distressed metal look that makes it so cool.

As a color blind person, i have to say i really appreciate you specifying name and brand of the paints you use :-) and all of your work always looks beyond amazing!

Thank you very much! And Im glad I can help out 👍👍

We have the forgotten handicap, my friend!

[@Charles-Darwin]

I used to know an artist that was too, man his art was absolutely killer. Most of it was dark art. Think shading level at 💯, but colors were off - some of the best art I have ever seen.

Two things... 1) You are a master of your craft! This looks AMAZING! 2) Props on good trigger discipline, even when dealing with a fake gun.

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much! I try to make everything straight to the point. And hopefully my videos will continue to improve 👍👍

[@NosterRex]

People like you disgust me!!!! All this talent in one person should not be allowed! I’ve tried foam armor smithing and everything i made looked like it came out of kindergartners craft time class. Ok now on a serious note, your prop and video are absolutely awesome and it looks phenomenal. You make it look so easy to do and like i said i know it isn’t as easy. Great work and I’m extremely jealous lol.

[@SKSProps]

Dude.! This is such an awesome build. I've Used your builds and techniques in the past as inspiration in some of my own builds. As Scifi fan, I couldn't help but notice that Boba Fett's blasters, and his equipment in general looked like custom modified pieces. Like Integrations of several different blasters. Anyways, great video brother. Thanks for all help and knowledge you shared all of us in the prop hobby.

As I'm watching the video, I'm remembering your updates on Twitter as you were building it, specially the one where you said your next build was going to be an organic one. You did a phenomenal job, but I can't even begin to imagine how many hours you've put into to this awesome awesome build, looking at the source images and then doing the mock up. Happy holidays Steve and have a great year!

@@SKSProps seriously my pleasure all the little details really did add up! and the dimensions didnt look bulky whatsoever ... so i'm stoked to try this out, though im not sure my foam skill-level is up to par with yours. I think i'd buy scope-setting caps to just glue on, though (theres no way i could score perfect millimeter striations) i'm looking forward to binging more of your channel :) amazing stuff

[@negotiableaffections]

It all fantastic but I'm especially impressed with the wood effects. I've been turning plywood into an antique gun stock made of a 'dark wood'. Using layers of 'glaze' made from burnt umber and waterbased polyurethane varnish is definitely the way to go, a layer of pale cream emulsion with black 'grain-work' applied with battered chip brush/or wood pattern combs and then multi-layers of the 'glaze' until it looks rich enough. Well done you tho' managing it with foam!
