Carving and Gilding a Viking Drinking Horn

[@darrenreed6491]

Wow !! That is awesome looking!

[@MuchProps]

Thanks so much

[@blizatrex]

You did a wondrously well mash up of the classic horn with your intended aesthetic. The Beer of Root and Ale of Ginger will froth till the end of times.

😄 skål

[@brandyh8746]

The gold looks awesome. Totally worth the glitter.

[@MuchProps]

You're worth the glitter

I started leatherworking a few months ago. It's pretty fun and goes great with listening to a podcast or audiobook.

[@MuchProps]

I've done very little leather work, but I do love the smell and feel of it.

[@beckymurphy4714]

Sculpey makes an air-dry clay that is wonderful to work with. You just break off a piece of the "brick," knead it a little bit, then start sculpting. Keep a little cup of water nearby and dip your fingers in it from time to time - as it starts to dry it gets kind of...chalky. And keeping it damp will give you more working time. Just don't get it too wet or it gets slimy. You can feather out the edges, add texture with all kinds of things and sand, drill and paint it when it's fully dry. It starts to set up after about 10 minutes, and will be hard in a half-hour, fully cured in 24 hours.

[@MuchProps]

I've got probably 10 different kinds of clay in my workspace, all with various pros and cons. I think I've tried the air dry sculpey before. In the right hands with the right skills, you can create pretty epic stuff with all of them.

[@bolivarbeachbum1]

This is absolutely prettier in person !

[@MuchProps]

😁👊

[@Justrex01]

That was epic, Thomas! Learning new skills is kinda what cosplay is all about, right? Although all of those at one go was a bit over the top. But then, you are an over the top kind of guy. You rock!

[@MuchProps]

😁👊

I did leather dye on a cosplay I made a few years back. I did it the exact same way, except I used something different to seal it, something I found at Tandy. It was fun and I want to do more leather work! This was so good!

[@MuchProps]

I have some more planned for details on the leather armor that I bought. This thing will be adorned with crazy amounts of little details all over.

[@Darkeklaw]

Next time you dye the leather. Wet it with water first and use some circular motions. Also let everything dry completely and buff it before putting on your top coat. :) The leather doesn't have to be saturated, just dampened a bit. :) You got excellent results with how you did it, but this will make the coloring a bit more even and make things easier actually. But very good work my friend.

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the tips! I know I can count on you for any leather working questions that may arise.

[@Darkeklaw]

@@MuchProps If I don't know an answer I can direct you do channels that do. No worries.

[@joseurbalejo]

Awesome, Keep up the good work Bro 👍

[@MuchProps]

Thanks! Will do!

[@bolivarbeachbum1]

Awesome sauce

[@MuchProps]

Only cold sauces will be allowed

[@Isvata]

Yo llego pongo mi like y empiezo a ver el vídeo👊

[@MuchProps]

gracias por dar me gusta y mirar 👊

[@brianahawkins8124]

Amazing. :D

[@MuchProps]

Thanks! 😄

[@BrushQuill]

Awesome little build. Going to be one of those small details that adds tons to the cosplay. We call glitter "Devils Dandruff" (can't take credit for that name though)

[@MuchProps]

I realize these builds for this cosplay have been coming slow but it also give me time to come up with cool little details to add here and there that I probably would not have thought of had I rushed through.

[@Shizz-Tizzle]

badass dude, love zelda, and love vkings, exelent combo dude!

[@MuchProps]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@SuperVoodude]

Sure it can be used for potions, but can you still catch fairies with it? 🧚 The Molgera detail is fantastic! Makes me imagine using a Gohma claw as a drinking horn as well.

[@MuchProps]

Lol. It would need a lid.

[@andygorman858]

Awesome build…..did you use this on your birthday? Now you can toast those fallen in cosplay battle and sing songs of their great victories as they sit in the dining halls of Valhalla!

[@MuchProps]

I did a good chunk of it on my birthday. Pretty much from the gold leafing on was done on that day. Nothing else I would rather be doing.

[@jameswatsonporter6135]

I have a phobia of glitter

[@MuchProps]

Me too. For sure

[@gonzaler99]

I brew mead, be right over..thats pretty cool build. But why didn't you use a longhorn horn? Haha

[@MuchProps]

LOL. Them longhorn horns can get pretty big, anywhere from 4 to 9 feet. I couldn't wear that big a horn on a belt. 😄

[@Playboikaos]

PLS MAKE A RED HOOD ARMOR PLS I WOULD REALLY APRECIATE IT IT WOULD BE SO COOL

[@MuchProps]

It will be one of the cosplays I work on once the Viking Link is done

[@joeyfowler3779]

that's pretty good to make and carving the viking drinking horn, but how old they gonna have a viking drinking horn

[@MuchProps]

I really like how it turned out

[@cpt.seabones7179]

You should do Gimlis helmet from LOTR.

[@MuchProps]

Have you ever seen Punished Props?

[@joeyfowler3779]

can you tell me, how old are they gonna have a viking drinking horn and why is that

[@MuchProps]

I don't understand the question.

[@diegovallejos3986]

hey, why not make the mordred helmet from fate or the helmet from kamen rider build evol kobra?

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@tubagus.a2159]

2:42 what if we don't clean it up with hot water?,because my friend clean it up with some kind of liquid !

[@MuchProps]

There are lots of different methods. I did a combination of a lot of things. I did boiling water, peroxide, vinegar, soap and water. I don't think you can be too thorough cleaning them out. You can definitely smell the difference.

[@thatguyagain6222]

Can you make links shield

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@k7253]

Hi i have a question for you much props can you make you the ark of the covenant from Indiana Jones raiders of the lost ark

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the suggestion. My only problem with making it would be the amount of space that would take up. Even if I shrunk it down, it would still be a massive undertaking

[@roydare7904]

glitter hate it i call it art herpes lol

[@MuchProps]

That is what I refer to it as too.
