Making Resident Evil 2 Key Items in Real Life

[@shinbios]

A resident evil museum you say? so would that mean your house will eventually become a police HQ?

[@traviseller8160]

A museum in the form of the RE2 police station? All of my yes.

[@Shervin86]

...and himself as the first zombie.😂

[@Bori4ello]

Bro i can't believe you didn't print the ink ribbon.😅

[@NineToes821]

Really cool. If you're interested in cosplay or prop-making, one tip I've learned from table top gamers is to use a wash to bring out the details of a piece. For example, after priming, paint the jaguar stone solid blue. Get in all the little nooks and crannies and let it dry completely. Next, make a "wash" by watering down some black or brown paint - any darker, contrasting color will work. Paint that liberally all over the stone, and then wipe it off, but don't wipe too hard. You want to leave some of that wash behind in the crevices, because that is what is going to really add character and depth to your piece. After the wash has dried, then seal it with some Mod Podge, like you had done, or you can use some kind of clear coat; satin, or whatever. Hope it helps.

The question on everyone's mind is.... after you use the key will you discard it?

[@KheranSmith]

😂

[@Kakeen]

At one point I actually saved all the keys for both characters in RE1 and 2 thinking that maybe there might a secret where you unlock a master key that opens everything.

[@johndoe9627]

@@Kakeen The first Resident Evil game i played, was the second one and i didn't discard any of they keys because my young brain thought, "I bet the game is lying to me!"

[@ndpx673]

@@Kakeen they should do that someday! Unlock something crazy!

[@556hp]

I'm currently in this 'Resident Evil prop collecting' phase & recently ordered a debit card decal to turn my bank card into a key card from RE2 ReMake; in short this video caught my attention immediately 🔥

[@VolatileViolet]

A sponsorship ad that isn't incredibly boring? Damn. 3D printers are badass.

[@lexxtheduck]

Just sharing a bit of experience: You might notice that there're some weird scale-like textures, almost like stairs or frozen ocean waves on the jaguar stone if you look closely. Hard to describe but you'll see what I mean when you look at it. That's a very normal thing to happen and the good news is you can prevent it :) If you take the model in Cura or any other slicer and slice it in a standing position and then print it, with the jaguar basically facing you upright, this shouldn't occur anymore and your print will look a lot smoother :)

[@InkRibbon]

Yeah one of the things I learned through observation doing these was to have the object have as little contact with the bed as possible. Next time I think it'll be better but I'll have to test it out

[@Julezgaming143]

Now you can unlock the heart doors in the RPD

[@NpausAsHawj]

I can already hear the “Please store any metallic items you have, in the security deposit “. Create that blue plate.

[@doctorjrk43210]

A cool product I’ve used for metallic painting/coloring is Rub ‘n Buff; it’s a pigmented wax that works great on wood and plastic props for giving them a smooth metal-like finish - especially after a priming of Plastidip or even over acrylic craft paint. It’s nice on craft foam, too, with or without a prime coat. I usually get it at Michael’s

[@berry186]

The crooked picture in the background made my OCD go crazy, I couldn't stop staring at it. 😂 Fun video as always.

[@asahearts1]

If you straighten the picture, you hear a click and his bed swings up, revealing a hatch. Down the hatch is the green gem which you need for the dog house. Just watch out because there are leeches down there, but you can use the loose wires to save ammo.

[@Steve8K]

Practice makes Perfect. As a first attempt you did AMAZING! The key looks delicious!

[@matthewvorwald7169]

You do such an amazing job making these items. They look so cool.

[@andrewolson4382]

Watching this at the hospital. Our son is on the way and he will be named Wesker and our nurse is Jill. He’s 29 weeks, so send all your love guys!!! Kai, thank you for this video in such a stressful time!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jasondomican1991]

Absolutely loved this video bro, love seeing you nerd out it's so fun to watch!

[@doctorjrk43210]

Oh, also! My partner bought the Entina 2S as a first 3D printer last year and it was a great starter machine, but because we got it used it was missing a few things that ended up very frustrating…so if anyone’s reading this yes it’s a good starter printer but definitely get it new not used We did eventually upgrade to a different printer a couple months ago when the 2S died (it was a sad day, we were mid-print of an airbrush part).

[@EvanJosephAldridge]

The keys are cool as real items!

[@bleedingpepper]

I've always wanted to just leave random items around town with a little label on them reading "quest item".

[@kylerfreeland6294]

This is a super cool video! I have no clue how 3d printing works, so this was really fun to watch you do.

[@interstellarobesity]

Love these videos you do where you go back to the old games and look at the items up close! You should do a deep dive on the old pre rendered backgrounds!

[@jamesbounds]

Very cool seeing the 3D printer process.

[@Kabal458]

looks pretty cool! coming from a background in painting miniatures (and I'm not expert at it) one very simple thing you can try which I think might help is using an ink wash which will add to shading and help bring out some of the details easily. Have a look if you feel up to it!

[@InkRibbon]

Thanks I'll check that out 😃

[@hipsterwriter]

The four suite keys really makes me think of wonderland

[@bigshow.01]

They came out good

[@psychopathicraccoonleader]

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve been this early for a new video! Great vid, Kai loved the detail in the RE items.❤

[@JustinColavita]

nice! shout out to Entina! glad you got a new printer.

[@biohazard2191]

Veeery nice printed assets. I love selfmades fan assets ,It is a personal and unique object referring to an legend event . Therefore , more value to me than the official objects that they sold.

[@adamcisneros9702]

Very cool I might get that printer some day and do the same! Thanks for the video, very fun!

[@RVR121]

The eagle medal is a couple of different colors that is why the crap bronze aint cutting it. Key came out great.

[@gigistar66]

Kai this is so cool!!!! I'll definitely be checking out this printer!!! Next year I look forward to seeing key items for Tomb Raider month!!!! 🎉❤

[@InkRibbon]

You know I gotta make some Tomb Raider artifacts!

[@jacobcastellanos3251]

Take your time with the other projects you want to do. Your doing a great job, you're doing what you love. Congratulations

[@Jess_LSK]

YAY I loved your Samuel REsistance cosplay. I love these kinds of videos 😊

[@leiiiighA]

I got the keys for my birthday. They're pretty accurate and detailed.

[@JustinColavita]

I live in an apartment, and seeing people do arts and crafts really makes me want a house aka more space

[@InkRibbon]

I hear you. Lived in apartments since I went to college 😵‍💫

[@solidboko]

i just love it ! You made me want to reinstall my 3D printer ! Really love your content !

[@LuminousTwinHearts]

Cool. Like to see you make Plugs on Chess set in the future .

[@Fahmi4869]

Imagine you cosplay as the RE4 merchant in an event and you show all of these props to people

[@ShinobiShaw]

This is what you had to do with Claire in 3D printing a key item in CV😂

[@Chainsaw1974]

A lot of cool Resident Evil stuff, and a lot made with love (and a lot of work.) It's awesome. I especially like "keys", I always was fascinated of old or special looking keys. And LOL, the "dancing" characters during the credits... EDIT: And your next project will be, a real coin and object pusher, with the 3D printed items :-) Like in the Resident Evil themed coin pusher you coded :-)

[@zomking4]

Hey Kai, don't know if u've seen them but as u mentioned u wanted to improve ur skills, I thought I'd mention a channel by the name Punished Props Academy. They have a whole line of videos in which they go step by step on different projects they've made. They've also printed numerous books with various tips and tricks, as well as projects they've done. They often have links in their videos to different products they use and and where they get some of their materials. Either way looking forward to seeing what u create next, as those RE props are frickin awesome.

[@sedrikvitsur8209]

You can get real replicas of 4 keys and the 3 medallions from temu, then you can do unboxing and something like that.

[@graphicsgod]

So awesome!! I wonder if its possible to download a Resident Evil 3d model of one of the PSX games and 3d print it to look just like the game! But not a small figure, but print it in parts to be like a foot tall or something..

[@VendettaAllan]

Lovely! Need to get me one of those.

[@michaeldipietro5010]

I'm by no means a pro acrylic artist, but I like to use the mid-priced paints. If you go cheap on acrylic, then in my experience, it came out too much like water coloring. Blah... Originally, what I added on after I finished my canvas I used a spray similar to the Mod Podge. On a hunch, I switched to MP and the rest is history. It brings out my colors way better than the spray ever accomplished. Currently, I'm displaced. Once I find a new place to live, I will try out some of the variants of MP. Oh, yeah, MP can be used for mixed media pieces too. Newspaper sticks on it the easiest through my experience. Really have to apply it for magazines pages and what not that is glossy.

[@InkRibbon]

Oh I guess that would make sense. Mod Podge would be sort of like budget varnishing maybe?

[@chrysm6842]

Excellent timing my friend, since I've bought a 3D printer on AMZN called Anycubic Mono Photon 2 and it sucks, 1st of all, you have to use the USB-drive and the software on it but converting the STL files to pm3n takes a huge amount of time (10 files / hour). And, the main issue is that it didn't print anything except the test files. I've tried the high speed resin but nothing. I'll give it a shot with the tina2s.

[@burnbluefox]

Holy JEEXZZZZ I COULD NOT BELIEVE the thumbnail. I just made a Heart key for my gun safe.

[@InkRibbon]

Omg that's awesome

[@traviseller8160]

I'd be so disappointed if those keys DON'T open specific doors in the museum.

[@theinvertlunchbox1149]

Look into dry brushing techniques. If you want to of course! I genuinely think youll like the results. With that said, youve still done a great job. Im somewhat jealous 😅

[@NoobCrash]

You should do the G Virus, the plugs and the bullets (Handgun bullets, Shotgun shells, magnum bullets)

[@hdguy5]

Nice one Kai 👌🏽

[@robhiggins3287]

They look very cool Kai, good job. And wow almost 200K subscribers that's crazy. Now to go and top up my water, cheers.

[@doghome1078]

I see your doing your best Chris cosplay.

[@theguyinthere]

so imagine how hard it would be to make these keys in 1998 with no 3D printer available

[@bluetwinkiesaregood]

Great work, Kai! 👍🏻

[@eddiehoplight2003]

I actually have replica's of the diamond, heart, club and spade keys

[@mikejurkowski]

Bambu Labs X1 Carbon is GOAT

[@shadowbanned3716]

Pretty cool

[@حسينواثقمحمد-ن5ف]

Thank you🙏💐

[@ferdinand12390]

i would recommend for painting, it's usually a better result to use an airbrush or even rattlecans, brushes usually don't get a good result i've been painting with an airbrush lately and it gets better results, and i have terrible artistic skills

[@Whalewraith]

You can get a set of 4 of those keys for $5 on Temu or technically a 'set of 4 metal key figurines'

[@chrysm6842]

Link please.

[@rasheeddave6011]

The Key close enough

[@kailee87]

bro if you just give it a black wash and dry brush for highlight, game changer

[@mayamartich9866]

Yes, it would look awesome.

[@j0hann35]

Try out paints from games workshop and or vallejo, I paint alot on plastic surfaces it's smooth 😊

[@Seastayy]

Omg this video was so cool!!! And yes please make your home into a museum and then share lol 😆

[@Tdidonato]

Dude your twin lives in New Bern NC. U gotta come meet him

Bro I’m not worried about your skill level, I’m wondering why you were on the driveway with just sock 😂

ohhh niceeeee! 3d printer! if u become adpet on it, prolly you will go for samurai edge or any weapons u like :D

Good job, IR

[@PaladinDansesGirlfriend]

Need bookshelves!

[@FinderX]

Too much RE crap? well... time to craft a RE Item Box to store that crap.

[@asahearts1]

You might want to look into airbrush paints now that you're gonna be painting a lot.

[@matthepstall3008]

So what you think of the new silent hill 2 on the way

[@timothythomas7222]

Our power was out for 4 days, but luckily we had a home generator installed a week before. The infrastructure here, not so great.

Hi @Ink Ribbon if your reading this I am grateful I would love to see a video of you Ranking each virus that you think is the most dangerous to the less dangerous. Haven’t seen any video doing it and will love to see one.

I'm avoiding all the info on it so I can be surprised haha

I recently bought a ps1 and both re2 disc's, just beat Leon A for the first time and now I'm playing Claire A

[@AbigatorM]

Again :D look up the german eagle :D It is looking like that. Its based on the specias of "gold/golden eagle". Not a bald eagle. (especially the design of the odl gemran currency "Mark")

[@RyanKuebel]

just use an ink wash and the blot it dry for the medal.

[@rook972]

I’m in no way an artistic but good job. With the eagle medal could you use good leaf?

[@jawbrekaa]

I make thief gold and thief 2 items from 3d printer.

[@Gotenks_90]

What material is this?

[@mrbisshie]

So, you hyped for the RE Classic trilogy on GOG?

[@Leekolasse]

Amazing video ^^

[@bryanbeach2572]

Since you did the Miss Redfield music video for 100k subscribers, you have to do Mr. Kennedy for 200k.

[@InkRibbon]

Omg haha now there's an idea

[@busiek1]

for 200k sub we waiting for miss redfield 2 ;p
