NEW BUILD! - TRON DISC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5eQp3VvbLeHrNE

[@DaedalusProps]

Most normal/epic family ever.

[@MrBracey100]

Nice, the link to the spaceship interior was awesome as well.

[@mrsilveri]

The EL wire armor reminded me of Sark from Tron.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

I totally just did a Tron Build!

[@xhandbasketx]

That intro is perfect.

[@OleOlavide]

Hi William, I love the way you started the video with the question "What have you done today?" It really inspired me to do something. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@KingJake-om7yq]

Ole Olavide his name is Jake.....

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

yeah i did. it's called DIY Space helmets.

[@nogoodnamesusable]

haha the james part and the squeaking whatever got me. cool armor btw. can't wait to see the stuff you come up with

[@michaelrbyrne5750]

YOU SAID DOOBLEY DOO!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, we have here a nerdfighter :P Also fantastic way to do this. Been looking for this kinda of material for ages cheers and dftba

[@WatchdogGoon]

Here's my request: A Samus Aran/Megaman style cannon arm with lights and a "control panel".

[@PirateTravisJohnson1]

Your electric-outlet/plug-in will MELT!.!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Yeah, but you would need to be able to remove them because they die faster than batteries and if you are planning to use the armor more than once then it would probably be more expensive than EL wire in the long run.

[@Hippieranger]

Thanks the lord i was able to refind this video, making a sims diamond thingy hat and want to add lights. Something tells me my halloween costume will be even better then my homemade steve from minecraft last year....rain + cardboard suit = one time use XD

[@Spirit612]

you should do a complete tutorial on how you designed and made the complete set from making this type of armor through the El wire wetup.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

A trend I will break next month.

[@scifiman98]

You could use the EL wire to make the glow effect on the edge of the ebony blade I suggested to you on your Scattergun vid. Second hint.

[@plasmastudios4159]

I think you should make a dinosaur costume. I love all your other videos. Try to see if you could work for Universal or something.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

no prob

[@KayzarGaming]

Dude i totaly want to learn how to make that other thing!

[@brandonshepard8970]

thats pretty badass man

[@mmmmmmcookiesaregood]

I like this guy. Subscribed.

[@pcookieproductions]

Thanks for the great video Jake!

[@zaiduke]

training centres or ebay might do it

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

NEW VIDEO! Darksaber Build: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXOXoX-Za811mdE

[@GoldenPidgeon]

vampire squids and angler fish plush toys? awesome! huh i don't know? i'll have to call her. I liked your this. Maybe shortin then end a bit as I wanted to click next as it felt like you were losing energy. The build is really kool and i think I might buy some of those lights (thanks for the shopping info) for genera stuff :)

[@someone12321]

"we are such a normal family" ahahah

[@Sjh1138]

timetodowhatever I put it in a daft punk helmet i made, and in a leather jacket. It works pretty well with anything

[@djkyota]

Dammit, you crafty beast. My name is James and I was like "Hmm, I dunno, I have to call her" :I

[@bakersfieldmusicnow]

well made...much love

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

it's just a really rough sanding bit. it doesn't have a name or a label or anything.

[@monmky]

Reminds me of the agents from Blacklight.

[@Sushidude91]

It will but it takes more time to set

[@KRSprops]

actually it will but it takes much MUCH longer, I used a hairdryer for my foam builds before deciding to invest in a heat gun :P

[@GermAsianGirl]

biglots man...biglots

[@Deathbynature89]

If you're doing the Lancer you gotta have large foam teeth. :3 Also. . . Portal Long Fall Boots. *flaps wings*

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

9 feet. I think that's about 3 meters? Better find a conversion chart.

[@starylize]

this is AWESOME!

[@thegoferj]

Nice video. Where is your video on how you built the vest you are modding in the video. Thank you.

[@thisisnotharvey]

Batman Beyond, Batman Beyond, Batman Beyond

[@lx_ignitebro3929]

Do a tutorial on Maze runner leather chestpiece 😃😊

[@OriU2B]

can you please do a diy for a robot suit, kind of like the Halo Cheif, or the Yom Yom F's Drone?

[@Reephamike]

fascinating!

[@hitman72399]

Hey jake if you know what the game fallout is you should make ANYTHING (there is a lot....) but I think super sledge or anti-material rifle

[@susanmenegus5242]

That's cool.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

thanks!

[@MangaMan108]

So where can I find the blueprints for this? It looks awsome.

[@NightmareNexusVODS]

im making mine now it will work but it takes a few minutes vice a few seconds

[@TheP13RC3R]

I was totally one of those 4 people named James.

[@FluffehStuff274]

I was the fifth James than went "I dunno if she still does theater."

[@bladedeath4]

Hey man great video! I was wondering where you found the Eva foam if you could provide me with a link or store.

[@WAYFAST95]

the day you stop building things, the stock shares I just bought on foam mats will hit rock bottom lol

[@harrysarso]

vampire squid FTW XD awsome

[@Spirit612]

I love the tutorial and like the armor in this one better than the tutorial on the other 'mogul' type armor. Any chance of getting a copy of your plans or drawings for the armor itself in this video? My school's doing a haunted house and the guides are wanting to dress sci fi armor and your design trumps the others i've seen but can't find any templates ànywhere for similar armor.

[@sideswipe1013]

could you substitute the heat gun with a blow dryer?

[@LIVIRDY]

buenas ideas amigo. eres genial

[@HyperSniperCo]

That armor design is boss! Do you mind if I base some armor for a Halo fan film off of it? I'm making an AI-Robotic Hardsuit :P

[@davisrere86]

Build vintage vinchester!

[@aannnnnnaaaaaaaaaaa]

MY NAME'S JAMES!!

[@angelxofxverdun5954]

Nice man do u have the templates of the boddy armor

[@thunderclaw6133]

they should add this in amazon that costs cheap

[@TracyAlanBridle]

Question, you never showed how you first made the whole armour front and back, do you have easy to do idiots guide I'd like to have a go at this too fella :)

[@ramjam361]

can you give a more detailed template of the suit you built i want to make one that looks very similar

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

is something wrong with your google?

[@DamiansSwag]

Epic!

[@godofimagination]

How did you sand the edges so cleanly? What dremel bit did you use? What speed? I can't get it right regardless of how hard I try.

[@AndrewBaezaShogunMaster]

how good is it to be seen in the dark??

[@ninjanova500]

Please make a Star Trek phaser

[@timetodowhatever]

do you think you could incorporate l-wire into a helmet and other kinds of costume props. ive been working on a cyber punk space age costume for my own film.

[@griffinwik]

Is there anyway to buff the brightness of EL wire? I can't seem to get my wire to shine as bright as yours. I think I will just stick to a string of LEDs instead.

[@dwarven_drummer]

I went to your sisters website and saw a I like you a Latvia shirt. Im latvian and most people don't know what Latvia is. How does she?!?!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

She likes books and maps.

[@dwarven_drummer]

oh, no wonder!

[@toxicgaming3876]

Yo its so helpful thanks dude

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

Edouard Anselmetti No problem!

[@toxicgaming3876]

Im doing the same thing just that I couldn't find lights and I dont like shipping but yeah its epic

[@ajerqureshi6411]

can this work with a hair dryer? I do know someone who probably has access to exacto knives and a drimmel, but I don't think he has a heat gun.

[@JackInTheShop]

hey James

[@EVAproductions]

HAHAHA @what have you done today XD omg you are awesome

[@CplSharko]

I freaked the fuck out.

[@NixPictures]

Whats the thing before you told us about the armor?

[@MrJacksonjamison]

Will a hair dryer work

[@savagepie3456]

why not? If i do it for a LONG time with on high will it work?

[@MangaMan108]

I really want the layout for that armor now. It looks bad As

[@TheTOBroShow]

What is Superman Doing on your shirt? Can't tell.

[@ledtycoon]

If you can make chopper I bet you can make r2

[@faustaslabanauskas5238]

Maybe you have template of your armor? It would really help me

[@nitroflame96]

i made a chest peace but i have no clue on how to make arm and wrist peaces

[@160moebius2]

Bla i want to know how to make a basic chest peace

[@RecklesssRhino]

How many sheets of foam did you use for the armor.

[@XenomorphDude11]

does l wire have something toxic in them or is it the risk of electrocution that you can't cut it

[@TotalSmashGamingNl]

no, but in holland they seriously dont sell it i can only ship it from america which is expensive

[@KingJake-om7yq]

So that’s what the heat gun clip is from..

[@tonydiazist]

Where is the video of the library fail

[@BlackheartChimera13]

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

[@BushidoDragon]

[@felicityessel]

[@a3justice637]

How do you make the M.A.C.O. Armor?

[@erickreyes7386]

Wait did u say Carolin

[@WillGabriel]

I can not find that foam anywhere!!! Please help =(

[@johngustafsson5360]

would it work using el-wire for a suit that allows a lot mobility? Im thinking about making a suit for acrobatics that will glow in the dark, would you recommend el-wire for that?

[@lewburger7374]

how did you size the armor to fit you? where did you get the templates?

[@finerz321]

I'll leave a link in the dooblaly doo

[@TotalSmashGamingNl]
