Odin, your builds never cease to amaze me! I have so much respect for your craft

[@D2Kprime]

Your skill level is invaluable. It's not just how you can deduce how to create major motion-picture level props from scraps and cheap materials, but your ability to adapt on the fly when things go wrong. A-mazing.

[@TannerC12345]

Probably my favorite model that you’ve made so far! Excellently done!!

[@dinorawr4028]

I've used these video's to make so many of my cosplay props and they all turn out great. All I need for my fallout cosplay is a 10mm pistol from fallout 4. Please do that next.

[@MattSmith18125]

I can't like this enough. Holy smokes. Although, I'm not too keen on the poster tube. But, that's probably because I'd have to worry about arm sweat deteriorating the poster tube. Other than that, dang man, this is dope. Can't wait to see the completed cosplay.

[@howardbarton2975]

Hi Odin, your projects are all so awesome! I’d love to see you make Mega Man’s power arm.

You should revisit more of your diy prop shop builds

[@Dirks_NUMA_Files]

Nice work. To echo someone else's Idea, The pager from infinity wars or something classic. The Helmet from the ORIGINAL Battlestar Galatica worn by the colonial worriers. Hell, a Cylon helmet would also be cool and very different

[@voquochuy7086]

Can you make the Infinity Blade. It has a lot of details so it maybe a good challenge

[@jackbot43]

Now you should make the power armor helmet and/or gauntlets! You could also make a bottle of Nuka Cola and a stimpak. IT COULD BE A SPECIAL EPISODE FOR THE RELEASE OF FALLOUT 76!!!

[@SivaMacca]

Im a newcomer to your channel, loving the vids and everything u make. I decided to show my friends some of your stuff and they didn't belive me that they were made out of foam (mostly). Anyway do u think you can make the thorn (gun) from destiny (game). It is an amazing looking weapon.

[@smeginthehead88]

I would love to see you make the Railway Rifle

[@TheFenixdown]

Awesome, as always Odin! Would you be interested in making anything from Monster Hunter? Like a sword of helmet would be awesome

[@kai_winchester_66]

Great job 💖💖

[@Kremmen2001]

Oooh, a classic Cyberman from Doctor Who. One from Earthshock - Silver Nemesis. I have a Revenge version and the NuWho ones are available from Character Options, so the Earthshock version would be a challenge. Tried making one years ago out of cardboard, but I'd love to see a foam version. Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on...

[@Sharkskinm]

What's the best way to paint eva foam to make it shiny and finger print proof?

[@yelloblankie]

I love how he just finds random stuff and goes "that looks just like a dial on the pip boy"

[@commanderwolf_gaming5191]

I like the idea of this, lighter on arm being made of foam, but wonder maybe just use a pvc pipe for the arm part and put some cloth or leather padding on inside...the 3d printed one is a little heavy and doesn't fit right. Keep up great video's.

[@BaronVonZakary]

@Odin Makes - Lets say that you make a prop piece like this, primarily out of foam and you want to bang out a couple of easy copies. Is there a way to treat the foam so that you can vacuum form over it without the foam just collapsing under the heat/pressure?

[@JamesPlaysJP]

I love watching your channel, you remind me of the old BFX Show on KZbin

[@OdinMakes]

James Plays Thank you!

[@JamesPlaysJP]

Looks great! Could you try a power ranger helmet out of Eva foam?

My favorite game series ever!!!

[@nightrunner7238]

U should try making the Snake match from mgs3 and the Zardenovs prosthetic hand that can actually light something (it had a lighter on the finger) it’s a challenge but I’m pretty sure Odin can do it

Every video is like "how its made" on crack and i love it

Hey Odin. What type of plastic do you order from Tap Plastics? The white kind that is flexible and can easily be cut with a utility knife. Is it the PVC kind or is it something else?
