From all my fails and so much videos I have watched ...I wish I would of found your video sooner..Thank you so much!

[@SKSProps]

You're welcome!!

[@SpellboundNails]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You saved my cosplay. I put on my (last minute) store bought Loki horns last night for some final tweaks and they cut me! I tried sanding them, adding foam inside and nothing worked. They were still super jaggy so I jumped online and found your pattern. I had some 6mm and 3mm foam so I glued 3 layers of 3mm together to get close to the 10mm and whipped up some horns in 2 hours plus painting and I'm wearing them to con today! They could be a little more polished of course but for a quick build that won't cut me I'm so happy!

[@SKSProps]

Fantastic! Glad the video could help you out 🙌

[@TheSmartin102]

Sounds funny but my mind was blown when you used the dremel for the v cuts. I use an xacto knife and my v cuts were very inconsistent, plus sometimes I never truly cut the v accurate enough, either too thin or too wide. Never once did I think about using the corner of the sanding drum on the dremel to do the v cuts! So much simpler as well. Thank you for broadening my knowledge!!!

[@SKSProps]

You're very welcome glad I could help! 👍

[@TheSmartin102]

@@SKSProps I apologize for the follow up, but i was going to attempt to build this, but i noticed the template was in PDF. I have never used PDF templates before, how do i go about scaling something that is in PDF?

[@SKSProps]

@@TheSmartin102 Open the pdf in adobe acrobat or adobe reader (free version) then click poster in the printer setting that will scale it properly

[@elodieanoname8033]

Always amazed how generous you are for sharing this knowledge with us. The templates are free and so are those videos. Also you go straight to the point and we are not buried under a tone of ads. Thanks so much !!

[@SKSProps]

You’re welcome! I’m glad so many people like the videos and learn some of my tips and techniques 👍

[@BeyondArtistry]

Okay, so this is the first time I came on this channel, I am utterly impressed!

[@ashenwarriorprops]

That metallic is amazing! Great work!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks Ashen!

[@SarahU2000]

I made this and Lady Loki following your videos. They turned out so good, I’m still shocked that I made it lol. The only change I made was I used gold leaf rub n buff on top! I already had the rub n buff because I refinish antiques. I love the gold look it gave it! Today was the day my daughter had to wear it to school and everyone is going crazy over it 💛

[@SKSProps]

That’s so awesome to hear! Glad I could help 👍

Between you and Odin ... you guys are killing it!!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! He’s a great builder as well and a good friend 👍👍

[@trytofinishsomething]

@@SKSProps Agreed ... known @OdinMakes for 20+ years and he is a great builder and super human being!

[@rikaika4178]

Thank you for this. I made one for a friend whose kid decided late in the week that they wanted to go as Loki for Halloween. A day later and I was able to present this to them. Side note: first time using your HD foam and what a difference it made. Fantastic product!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you! And that’s so awesome to hear!

[@fakermakerprops3948]

Nice! I made mine in December, about a week after the trailer came out, I'm super happy with that one! (Edit) it's my profile picture too

Not a big fan of the Marvel Universe, but an awesome job Steve! The tips on the painting technique are top notch!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! And personally I’m more of a video game guy myself but I really like Loki

[@KnoviceCosplay]

The paint job looks great! I gotta try using a reddish primer for gold paint

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!! 👍

[@thenewlc]

thank you! i forgot to order a headdress for my daughter on time for halloween, but i'm pretty sure we can knock this out in time.

[@SKSProps]

Fantastic! 👍👍

[@thenewlc]

@@SKSProps we did it! we had to make due with some different foam thicknesses bc the craft store was low, and we cut some corners bc of time, but it still turned out awesome! and now we have the tools and a TON of leftover foam so we can do more projects and take our time.

Looks Great Thinking of cosplaying LOki in ComicCon But i dont really know i will be able to do it.

[@SKSProps]

Lots of people have made them using my templates might as well give it a shot 👍

[@jessicavazquez1559]

Can you please do a tutorial for loki daggers or sylvie daggers? Trying to cosplay for Halloween, we live your videos! Extremely helpful and easy to follow!

[@renova94]

Hey. I find your tutorial really great and am looking forward to rebuild the crown itself👌💚. I have only one small problem. I live in Germany and there are not these glues. What can I use instead? Thanks for the help. 🙏🙏🙏

[@SKSProps]

You can use any contact cement or super glue you wouldn’t need to use these specific brands. Have fun with the build 👍

[@kaelap6311]

Make friends with an American stationed at a military base and ask them to grab you some from the commissary.

Tysm for the tutorial and the free template! Just wanted to ask if I can make it with cardboard instead of hd foam

[@SKSProps]

You’re welcome! You can try the cardboard won’t bend to a complex curve quite like the foam will

[@trekguy66]

Very well done!!!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you very much! 👍👍

[@fauxmarmorer9544]

Might make this for my girlfriend(Loki is her favourite character too), thank you good sir, maybe maleficent head piece one day too?

[@SKSProps]

Thanks and I hope she likes it. I am always looking for new ideas just depends on what inspires me week to week 👍

[@itsmehan_]

so excited to make this! just one question: how can you print it off for use without abobe? it's not available to me ToT

[@lindavalentinagarcialb5110]

Amezing, is beautifull

Thanks!!

Any chance you’re planning to give Kid Loki’s crown a shot? 😁 Bought all your foam!

[@MissedUniverse_Cos]

This vid was amazing! By any chance, would you make tutorials of the x-blade or the Master's Defender keyblade?

[@Andres-oy1ll]

Amazing

[@SKSProps]

Thank you! 👍

[@amesjahhh5312]

Hi! I'm planning to make this but I have a few questions :) 1. my head is slightly smaller, will it work if i just print the template a smaller size? 2. i don't have a dremel so can i use sandpaper? 3. will the results differ if i omitted the primer and just used the rubber paint and spray paint? Thanks!!

[@SKSProps]

Yep just scale it a little bit You’d want to use a pretty high grit to minimize the fuzzies rougher sandpsper will leave. Might look into getting a rotary tool they are pretty cheap online these days You can use any paints available to you

[@amesjahhh5312]

@@SKSProps thanks man!! cant wait to make it

[@sophieliu1772]

Can you do a tutorial for how to get a template

[@happinessyay4934]

I'm very new to working with foam (and any cosplay stuff in general) and I don't have access to a Dremel tool. is it possible to do an acceptable job using an x-acto knife and varying grades of sandpaper?

[@SKSProps]

You can easily cut foam with a knife but sandpaper will have a tendency to make the foam fuzzy. You can get a rotary tool for about $20 with a flex shaft if you plan on working with foam a rotary tool is pretty necessary Check this one out m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZuUk2Oaidplr5o

[@thelord5010]

Can you make sly cooper cane

[@MariaRivera-rl9wj]

I noticed you don't cut on the lines..Is it because it's way easier to beval the edges?

[@SKSProps]

I'll usually get close then clean it up with my bandsaw, scissors, or the dremel. Helps me get the angles of the cut just right

[@scottalynch]

Approximately how wide are the 2mm strips at the base of the horns?

[@SKSProps]

Not big approx 3/8”

[@scottalynch]

@@SKSProps thank you. I will tag you when I post my lumberjack Loki pics

[@gonerfish2710]

Can you do Gwyndolin crown from Dark Souls?😭 its kinda hard tho😔

[@jannalee9119]

Can we use gold paint? would it work okay?

[@SKSProps]

You’d still want to seal the foam first with Plasti dip or mod podge but after that you can use regular acrylics

[@jannalee9119]

@@SKSProps thank you so much!

[@bruntchicknugget]

what is the size of the paper print out , A4?

[@SKSProps]

Paper size doesn’t matter watch the how to print templates video

[@Puquito]

isnt Plasti Dip toxic or bad to skin? Im a bit afraid to use it

[@SKSProps]

Plasti dip is not good for you while spraying it that’s why you need to wear a respirator. But after it cures there are no skin issues that I’m aware of. If you want not toxic brushable options check out some of my other videos where I use Flexbond, plaid fx, and creature cast

[@rubyb666]

is there any alrernitvie to a dremel

[@SKSProps]

I did a review on a $20 Wen you can check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZuUk2Oaidplr5o But you pretty much will need some kind of rotary tool when working with foam
