How to Make Fallout Combat Armor Part 2 - How to Paint Cosplay Foam to look like Rusty Metal

How to Make Foam Fallout Combat Armor look like metal! I absolutely love the Fallout games and am very excited for the Amazon Fallout live action series. So I figured it was about time I made some cosplay combat armor that others can create and enjoy. In this video I go over all of the steps it takes to paint and weather Fallout Chest Combat Armor. I do have free PDF templates of the chest armor available on my website if you'd like to make your own.

The color technique and outcome looks so damn good. The dirty down added so much life to the armor too, it's just 😗👌

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!

[@capena82]

This is fantastic! Would love to see more Fallout builds!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much!

[@matthewgresham7060]

This same base concept with different colors would be a cool Captain America/Fallout crossover

[@SKSProps]

Make it! 🙌

[@dylangardner110]

Steve, I continue to be amazed by your sheer talent with painting. Foam prop making is an art in itself, but your paintjobs elevate your pieces far above the rest. This one is especially impressive. Just watching this video was insanely satisfying. Amazing work.

[@SKSProps]

Thank you so much 😀

[@andrewgotlost]

Just wanted to thank you for this. I wanted to paint my rifle to look like a rusted out piece of junk and this is exactly the look im looking for.

[@SKSProps]

You’re welcome! 🙌

[@GreatChopps]

Amazing as always!!! love watching you paint the layer after layer, same as when I do them it is very calming at least to me watching the piece take on its own life, and gaining a history.

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much gald you enjoy the process!

[@shawnkarg3794]

Damn, Steve! what an amazing paint job! I will def be using these techniques. Thank you for sharing!

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! Glad I could share some techniques 🙌

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much!!

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[@patrickkavanagh7371]

Dude that looks like real metal, awesome. Your stuff looks like it was made from a 3d printer.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! Lots and lots of hours in the shop!

[@JoeyStrombolli]

Would absolutely LOVE to see you do a Doom Guy build, even just the helmet from Doom Eternal would be so cool! Not to mention that color green you used for this would be a really good fit. Loving the vids man keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@HawkWorley]

I love the effect graphite powder gives!

[@SKSProps]

Having matte, gloss, shine, grunge all in one piece really gives the prop something special

[@HawkWorley]

@@SKSProps its a complete prop. Are you going to do more of the costume?

[@SKSProps]

@@HawkWorley I might do a few more parts to a costume

[@cerisekappes580]

Love the realism!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!

[@cerisekappes580]

@@SKSProps you are welcome 😄

[@Cartonus_prime]

More Fallout props please!

[@SKSProps]

Maybe just have to wait and see

[@matijalisec3059]

Interesting. In model making, wash would be called a filter. Filter goes over the whole surface, slightly changing the base layer tone. Wash (pin wash) would be more contolled application, done as a fake shadow of a sort.

[@SKSProps]

I’ve painted miniatures for over 20 years and I’ve never heard a wash called a “filter” maybe it’s an overseas term.

[@matijalisec3059]

@@SKSProps well, to be specific, term used in scale models(planes, vehicles etc)

[@MrFTW]

Amazing

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!

[@copycatmoon]

very helpful

[@SKSProps]

Glad you like it!

[@JacobTerrazas]

Can you do a tutorial on how to make the detail pieces of the vault suit

[@negotiableaffections]

My hat is off to you. If you slip that armour off, I'd expect it to 'clang' when you drop it on the floor!

[@SKSProps]

Ha! Thank you so much! 🙌

[@TheDefend3r]

Thank you so much for this. I've got a project coming up thay I need to put some rusty metal on.

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! Glad I could help 🙌

[@jefflandrum67]

I love what you're doing with such simple materials! Can you do a Han Solo DL-44 blaster prop video please!

[@sand-deez07]

Fantastic as always bro 😎 Can you make dr fate helmet from black adam movie I really liked the design

[@derartas]

what could i use istead of the dirt down spray? And do i have to seal everything at the end with clear coat?

[@SKSProps]

Just do acrylic washes it's basically the same thing but in a conveient spray. and no I don't ever clear coat my props or costumes. I personally think that is one of the biggest mistakes most people do because it kills all of the various matte and gloss paints you have applied

[@derartas]

@@SKSProps Thank you for ur answers :) im gonna make my first fallout cosplay soon and your tutorials are so insightful

[@GamingDad63]

Just. Amazing. 😮 I'm wondering if you have any bigger project of your own coming up? No conventions?

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! Not really just plugging away at youtube. I was recently diagnosed with extremely high blood pressure so I have been having to step back a bit and get that under control. I will be attending a few cons next year and will post when they get closer

[@chrissegee]

Man you make this look so easy I’ve tried weathering a flintlock pistol and it just looks like a giant blotch on the “ wood”

[@SKSProps]

Remember I’ve been painting for 30+ years 👍

[@chrissegee]

@@SKSProps i actually did not know that, i have only even heard of foamsmithing in the last few months and have looked up every youtuber i can find mainly you, evil ted and Kamui. All three have gotten me so excited about the craft i am currently making a thief/assassin costume for my daughter and a musketeer one for me.

[@allancroxx3721]

I hope you'll be able to do a video making Amazon's The Boys like Black Noir.🤩😍 More power to you sir!

[@SKSProps]

I’m making a superhero chest right now could be modified for multiple characters

[@slaughterman44]

did you change your HD Foam? the stuff I ordered this year looks(and smells) different than the stuff I ordered last year

[@SKSProps]

Nope, Haven’t changed anything since the very first order

[@cole7972]

Did you spray the Dirty Down into water, as opposed to directly on the piece?

[@SKSProps]

No, directly on the piece. Water is just dirty from the acrylics

[@Night_slasher106]

Hey can you please make a life size Itachi's susanoo hanging out at back 🙏

[@SKSProps]

I usually don’t take requests because I’ve already got a loooong list of things I plan to make

[@user-ut9rv1mh3v]

Can you make a full chainsawman who is a fully demonic form?

[@lasarith2]

Change the design a little bit and you’ve got the Armour from Aliens .

[@SKSProps]

On my list at some point

[@randycheow4268]

Or the smartgun harness

[@Saiiryn]

Are you done selling borderlands masks?

[@SKSProps]

Yeah, the molds are dead and I just don't have the time to make individual props anymore. That is why I have refocused to teaching others how to craft

[@Saiiryn]

​@@SKSProps Aww, that's a shame would have loved to pick one up. ton respect for taking the time to teach others!

[@Ruthven__6]

Lol I see what you did there, great tutorial! Can't wait for the next one.

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!
