I love How a paint job can turn colorful joy into a contraption of doom

[@LostWax]

totally!!

[@tykellerman6384]

I can’t imagine how long this took you do design and build..... amazing well done thanks🤠👍

[@creepshow6423]

Out of all the Eva foam makers your stuff is definitely the best ive seen (mostly because you actually know how too paint it)

[@LostWax]

Wow, thanks, I really just try to keep it as simple as possible as far as painting goes. Less stuff to buy😉

[@przemek7465]

@@LostWax simple means good, it's not the paint itself but rather the overall effect that is remarkable. At least for me but maybe that's because I love steampunk so much :D

[@simon9264]

As usual, simply brilliant plans and tutorial. I always look forward to your items.

Thanks Chris, as usual your videos are amusing and thorough. I can't wait to try this one!

[@LostWax]

Sweet! It's a pretty fun build. The base armour is actually really fast to make. The bits and pieces take a bit longer😁

[@thevalkyri]

@@LostWax - I was actually very surprised when I did the arm that it went a lot faster and was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I've yet to make the jetpack (which I'm still finding intimidating) it was on my list for this year, but I think I'm going to do this one first. I absolutely love the speed of your videos too - a lot of youtubers I watch I have to put on 2x speed, but never you. :D

[@LostWax]

I appreciate your comment about the speed of my videos- it's something I have struggled with, as KZbin tends to reward longer videos. But I feel like it is a disservice to my watchers to draw something out that doesn't need to be. We spend enough time in front of our screens as it is. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

This is toooo cool. I saw a handy hack for tiny rivets that might be less frustrating for people than the epoxy... googly eyes! they come in all sizes, and once painted over make very convincing and perfectly shaped rivets!

Yay for hitting the Bell thingy!!!!! Welcome to my channel:)

[@epiendless1128]

I'm using PVC tube instead of the bits of pen. I found I could make the wire fit more snugly into the tube by adding a lining. I found some old coax cable and removed the inside - must be coax as the sleeve is round inside unlike mains cable. It was a little too big, so I sliced the sleeve lengthways and cut a couple mm off to reduce the diameter to the exact amount needed to fit inside the PVC tube.

[@myu_wynn]

I've just watched your both videos and the outcome is pretty awesome ! Thank you for describing such precisely all the steps, your piece is beautiful and the process is very original ! :D

Parabéns pelo projeto

[@baptistoriginals]

I used to start with black paint, but i started seeing lots of these newer and popular pages use plasti-dip or something similar before painting and I'm finding that the final paint jobs look better

[@LostWax]

Yeah, it definitely gives a nice finish. As long as you're good with the price and smell.

[@epiendless1128]

[@youtubermilestones7664]

[@christacruikshank6728]

I love your work. I bought the ultimate package and am looking forward to more good stuff. I find it interesting that the shoulder armor is for the left side and the mechanical arm (which I built last year) pattern is for the right arm. I am building the shoulder armor now reversing the pattern. This comment may already had been mentioned, I didn’t read all 184.

[@LostWax]

Hmm, I am trying to remember now which arm I did. I am pretty sure the arm pattern is actually for the left arm, like the shoulder. Now I am gonna go look to make sure. Thank for the heads up though, I will check it out!

[@christacruikshank6728]

You are right. Both patterns are for left arm, I had forgotten I reversed to other pattern too. I am left handed so the right arm made sense. BTW, I wore the arm as part of a post-apocalyptic mad hatter (Alice did not slay the bandersnatch sort of thing). It was quite a hit!

[@iammoog]

Wonderful creation. What brand paint do you use for metallics? Is there something to look out for to set good ones apart from bad,?

[@bellaboo4124]

[@kriswicker5272]

Mad props on the templates! I did the steam punk shoulder and arm and it is spectacular. I would LOVE a steampunk shin guard armor kind of deal to add to it on the left side. Any chance your toying with that idea? On a side note, ever thought of doing a gallery of peoples creations based off your work? I have seen many great projects based on your templates (usually some custom work/colors were involved)

[@LostWax]

Yes, I am toying with the idea of some leg armor to go with the arm, I have had a few requests for it now, so I will have to bump it up the list a bit 😁 I do have a small collection of customers photos on my website, I just never get the time to really do it justice. www.lostwaxoz.com/customers-project-photos

[@reaganpreshong7486]

You know you’re sick when you’re laying in bed watching this and you giggle at the ‘piece 39, 39, and 39’ part 😂🤒😂

[@LostWax]

Awww, hope you're feeling better soon. I appreciate the giggle though.

[@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana]

At the very least, you're in Your Own Private Idaho. I don't even know what you mean there about 39.

[@TheRealPeculiarReality]

I made this for a concert this past October and it turned out amazing! My only problem is, the paint rubbed off on the under-arm section of the body and one of the crossbody strap pieces fell off (though that was admittedly just a bad hot-glue job on my part). Therefore, I'd like to ask: What kind of acrylic sealer would you recommend to prevent this from happening again?

[@LostWax]

Hmm, I haven't found anything that would add enough abrasion resistance to make a big difference. The problem is that anything that goes on nice and hard is also going to crack easily because of it's brittleness. Another thing is that if you have just recently painted it, the paint won't have completely cured and might wear off quicker.

[@davidhensley76]

After you've made all these groovy things, does the hot glue continue to stick for a long time, or does it slowly release from the foam?

[@LostWax]

The hot glue stays stuck to the foam really well in the long term, just as long as you don't leave the costume somewhere where it will get really hot, like in direct sun on a really hot day, or in a hot car.

[@ristopoho824]

I just thought of something kinda weird. I have the tools and skills to craft metal, but foam has always been quite difficult for me. And, even though it takes a ton more time, this pattern may work with metallic parts too. Gon need to think about it first through, before i start trying anything out. It may be a dumb idea for some part and then i'm stuck with it if i just start doing.

[@LostWax]

I think it could work, depending on what you have for forming the metal. Funny, I came from a metalworking background- jewellery:)

[@codyvanderhaegen3186]

Looking at the shoulder piece in the beginning compared to the end (or rather with the arm and without), it looks like part of the shoulder armor isn't included, is that correct? I believe it is the part that ends up attached with the hinges. If the arm is already built and this is going to be in addition to it, is that last piece not required?

[@LostWax]

Yep, you're absolutely right, with the mechanical arm the shoulder armour doesn't need the extra piece.

[@shawngee5481]

AMAZING AS ALAWAYS Chris!!! Are you still wearing your tag necklace?

[@LostWax]

Funny you mention it, I just found the chain for it in my drawer yesterday, but not sure what happened to the tag.

[@shawngee5481]

@@LostWax I have a nice tag here....its even bigger than the ones for bread....it's on my 10 pound bag of potatoes! Would you like mine?

[@LostWax]

@@shawngee5481 hehe, thanks for the offer, I think I'll be alright:)

[@mikepantoja1113]

Hey there, do you recomend to seal the shoulder with plastidip?

[@LostWax]

If you have the money and a good place to spray where you aren't breathing in the fumes, go for it, plastidip gives a great surface finish. I personally don't think it's necessary unless you are going to be using a costume a lot.

[@nicoledeibert1150]

Do you find that the Artist paint (Liquitex Basics) bonds to the EVA foam? Or if you scratch the foam (or flex it) after it’s painted, does the paint flake off?

[@LostWax]

I haven't had problems with flaking using the artists paints (I did when using house paint). I think one of the reasons I get a good bond is that I don't generally heat seal my foam before painting, so there are lots of tiny holes in the foam for the paint to grip on to. As the paint gets older and more brittle, it will crack if you flex the foam too much, but I haven't had it flake off as a result of the cracking.

[@nicoledeibert1150]

Thanks for the info. I prime foam with an elastomeric paint, which bonds to the foam and then the paint bonds to the elastomeric, but I am trying to see if there are alternatives. I appreciate your information.

[@alexcronin7664]

, I would love to have a go making it what type of craft foam do you use thanks

[@LostWax]

The 2mm craft foam I use is just what I get at a local craft store. I use a 5-6mm thick roll of anti fatigue floor mat for the rest. I have some links on my website here: www.lostwaxoz.com/product-links/

[@Mr619Boyz]

So talented man!!! How much would you charge a non artist for a custom build like this?

[@LostWax]

Sadly, I don't have the time to do builds for customers. Maybe you have a crafty friend that's up fo a challenge.......
