REALISM for post-apo costumes. How much of it do you need??

[@FindingFortyTwo]

When you said that sometimes real doesn't alway look realistic so you had to paint the hat, all i could think of was the Simpsons Radioactive man ep where the film guys say that cows don't look like cows on film so they have to paint horses, and if they want horses they usually tape a bunch of cats together :)

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

:DD yep

[@ItsJustaMeNow]

I think Raider types have the coolest outfits, that one with the spark plug shoulders would be perfect. If I ever get the room in my place for this kinda project, I'm gonna adopt that idea.

[@WayaWolf]

LaRaikaa I just started making my costume tonight, and I put a baby doll head on my shoulder lol, so we have some crazy ass ideas, spark plugs, a baby doll head XD

[@fen938]

"... One big son of a bitch..." Perfect description for that weapon :)

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

:D oh hel lyeah, it is effin huge ;:D not THAT heavy for its size thou "just" 7 kg

[@samwebster4047]

Hey Nuclear Snail :) You should make some weapon making tutorials

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

its planned!

[@desertrang3r492]

Man. Your work area is so awesome. I plan to one day have a room full of just prop and costume materials and things like that.

[@mommabumble]

Excellent! Thank you for bring up and explaining some points that I wouldn't have thought about for many years!

[@Darkeiser.7]

I definitely love your post apocalyptic styles! I've watched about half type videos now. The LARP events you go to sound like a lot of fun.

[@pacoypacheco1464]

Your intro music is so epic! You deserve all the likes :D

[@gordonbelfort7176]

Who doesn't know the: ,,What the Fuck-terretory!,, 🤣👍

[@rallycsx]

>Hey Nuclear Snail! < I have a suggestion for you to try. Take some blue jeans and shoot them at a distance with a 12 gage with bird shot. Then wash the pants several times. You need to cover the zipper with a piece of steel but the shredded hole effect is pretty cool. Don't shoot them too close! Stay away at least 30 feet. I did this when I was a kid in high school. Enjoy!

[@slumberrrrミ]

What type of material did you use for the plating on your vest you showed for reference I would like to recreate it and if so how much is it

[@alisterfolson]

Love your videos; they all have honesty and effectiveness...thanks

[@OcculusfilmsAZ]

Great, as always, Dmitri.

[@deadlydale]

@nuclearsnailstudios what are your thoughts on duct tape and/or black electric tape on weapons and armor?

[@harrybailey4772]

Currently I only make outfits/ loadouts for airsoft and before someone comments I know this is very different however I believe I can apply the same mindset to apocalyptic setting. I make something "realistic" in the setting I'm playing in. For example if I'm being a soldier I won't have 500 mags on me etc

[@SingularitySimon]

Wo kann man das T-shirt kaufen?

[@arx3516]

What about super-realistic settings, like a civil war/civilians resisting against a foreign invasion, would'nt a tactical vest over normal clothes be sufficient in that case?

[@antishark2375]

This Chanel is supper cool, keep up the good work mate!

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

thanks :) im trying to :)

[@limitcanc3l]

shield made of a car door would be a cool idea

[@dananaditya9347]

Looks cool, but it'll be very heavy dude

[@heroofthefallenable]

Hi, What type of wrap did you use for your rifle, and was it that color to start with or did you age and distress it?

[@BekoPharm]

Not sure whether someone mentioned this before: Nice trigger control! :) I'm not into guns but people keeping their fingers _on_ the trigger when moving around with a gun do disturb even my immersion ;) Happens a lot in movies too.

[@maxisei2688]

Hello, Mr.Snail! Thanks for the great video! As allways, we got new wave of inspiration.. in the sea of apocalypse XD And here's the question - is your e-mail still active? Or there is better way to contact you?

[@betenoireindustries]

also useful: the sliding scale of shiny vs. gritty, as per tv tropes. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty i cover it in my costuming 101 classes, and it's a useful analogy. great video. we look forward to seeing you at wasteland someday.

[@C10wn]

great stuff happy to be an patreon

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

[@C10wn]

and i will be watching it :)

[@TheShockedboy]

Will you be at Wasteland Weekend this year? This will be my first post apocalyptic event and I've found your videos extremely helpful with my costuming choices, please keep up the good work

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

this year again not :( still working on life and stuff. but one day i shall arive.. :D

[@Thunderchicken69]

I'm thinking about making a sniper/stealthy/recon character with like the scarf thing goggles a tattered hoody some kind of blue jeans a pair of cowboy boots and a tattered cowboy hat.

[@CalsonD.Tytreides]

Would you know how to or be able make a Rock Riders Costume from Mad Max Fury Road

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

i dont do exact replicas, sorry. so no.

[@jcm5225]

oh the wonders of a 2min Google search. madmaxcostumes.com/rock-riders/

[@periwinkleblue3416]

I swear this guy is carrying 90 % of the post-apo LARP DIY content on his shoulders.

[@DiamondxCyborg]

Can anyone recommend a good jacket to buy for a stalker outfit? thanks in advance!!

[@deadwolf4496]

Hell yeah i search for fallout 4 and end up here and i fucking love this channel 😲

[@erics2990]

amazing work keep it up

[@nikoopperman931]

what was the original vest you used for the second riot one you showed?

[@tutm4n]

Looks like a pilot jacket.

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

mk-2 police/army vest fro mgermany 80s

[@nikoopperman931]

+Nuclear Snail Studios thanks!

[@nicasiodean2762]

How much would a mad max jacket cost?

[@nicasiodean2762]

Road Warrior style

[@nicasiodean2762]

Like it

[@apugalypse_now]

Mine costed $500 from Fox Creek Leather, but it can easily go up to $750 and beyond if you go for a company like Schott NYC.

[@chantlmcclary9576]

hey can u make post apocalyptic armor fit for an alien invasion? id like ta see what that would look like like with humans trying to survive an alien take over how would that be done my guess would be technology based armor like cyborgs etc but I would just like to see how u would build something like this

[@boongrinder7329]

Hi Dimitri, ansich finde ich deine Videos sehr gut und für mich als Anfänger auch durchaus brauchbar ABER könntest du bitte deutsche Untertitel einfügen für Menschen die des englischen nicht so mächtig sind? Meine Englischkentnisse sind eben gerade auch nicht so die besten und vieles erklärt sich für mich auch nur deshalb weil du es zeigst. ;-)

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

sorry, es wäre sehr viel arbeit für eine sehr geringe zielgruppe :/ kannst es ja mit anderen larpkumpels zusamme ngucken beim modden, die übersetzen es dann :)

[@ZazelAgiel]

Do you accept orders for costumes?

[@NuclearSnailStudios]

yeah, you can write to me on facebook bout that :)

[@davidtibor3133]

Ha ha Check out the costumes on an old tv show called "The Tribe" ha ha ha...

[@dsheppard488]

or ues a stop sign for a sheld in a zombe larp

[@alexeyyurkov2633]

I heard a lot of interesting information, subscribe.

[@desertrang3r492]

15:22, "But Israel"

[@Oli69.420]

this is what people would be wearing. ANYTHING THEY COULD FUCKING FIND. basicly they would look like homeless people idk why this is so difficult. ps i know the hole larping this and the different settings

[@jroberts3412]

shecklstien tax worker Idk usually the concession at larps are these are the "soldiers" of the post apocalyptic society, the regular civies look like hobos

[@Oli69.420]

ya like watch the movie "the road" thats my idea of what they would look like
