Lovely work! EVA foam, snap blade/hobby knife, a heat gun, contact cement, sealer, paint… that’s all you need! There are so many amazing artists using these materials to produce striking results.

[@Nat1videos]

Yeah man, this is a side to the hobby I really need to get in to!

@@Nat1videos let me know what you'd like to get started on and I would be happy to point you in the right direction of some free patterns and tutorials. Evil Ted, SKS Props, and Punished Props are great starting points. All of them have free patterns available.

[@Nat1videos]

@@mcwolfsons2553 ohhh cool! I haven't heard of Evil Ted before I will check him out ! I saw the witch king mask on SKS Props and may give that a go once I get my current batch of terrain projects out of the way... You don't know of a pattern for Saurons Helmet by any chance?

@@Nat1videos The Woodland Elf has a video and free template. You can upgrade the design and materials a bit. If you’re going to be using a hobby knife or snap blades I suggest investing in a small knife sharpener because foam will dull a knife on a single cut… dull knives mean janky cuts … janky cuts mean bad seams. Dremel tool with rounded stone bits will help you sculpt the foam like a pro. I suggest using floor mats from your local hardware store as you start off before buying the good stuff… Poly Props seems to be the leader in your neck of the woods.

That was a cool video. I enjoy lessening about the various designers, crafters, and builders in our community. He is so talented, his work is fabulous!

[@Nat1videos]

Cheers Scott! Yeah we can always learn stuff from the different makers in our community. I am looking forward to doing more with Matt :D

[@garyguy4826]

Thank you for the Awesome Video Nat1. Hope you had FUN 😊

[@Nat1videos]

Thank you! Yeah, I have a great time. Looking forward to doing more with Matt in the future :D

Seriously cool. I had no idea about Worbla as a crafting material - that could definitely open up possibilities, even beyond cosplay. Imagine being able to add some rigidity but with thinness and strength to a build like Dol Guldur ruins or as add-ons to minis or larger figures if you need something more tensile than say Sculptamold. Love seeing what others are making - thanks for sharing!

[@Nat1videos]

Yeah Mark, I totally agree! Worbla is a material I have been wanting to give a try for quite some time. I would be starting from scratch with that material, so it would be a bit of a learning curve I am, sure. Too many things I want to try out lol

[@ItsQuiteCool]

Wow definite shed goals! Amazing stuff, thanks for sharing this with us Mike 🙂 I feel like going in the garden to swing my viking sword around now!

[@Nat1videos]

Everyone needs to swing a sword in the garden every now and then lol

[@ChrispyP]

Fantastic video, and Matt is unbelievably talented! Really love seeing the showcase of your local creators, but it is putting a strain on my wallet and wishlists :D

[@Nat1videos]

haha I couldn't agree more! Does that mean you are gonna be making an order? haha

[@Karlmakesstuff]

This is seriously cool! Those gauntlets look awesome :D

[@Nat1videos]

Yeah man, I wanted to take them home so badly lol

[@Karlmakesstuff]

@@Nat1videosnot to mention that chainsword! :D

[@Huntsmanlance]

Awesome! Looking forward to the following videos!!!

[@Nat1videos]

Yeah, the follow up videos are gonna be lots of fun :D

[@microforgeminis]

Awesome video mate loved this. Also that tool was clearly a sped up chicken rotisserie unit. Not sure if you sped it up in post production or if there was some other wizardry at work but it is definitely a chicken rotisserie. DEFINITELY.

[@Nat1videos]

haha I have top say there was a faint smell of chicken floating in the air so you could be right lol

[@steampunk8036]

Right on, Michael! A very informative video. I’m gonna go check out this guy’s stuff. - Rick, USMC

[@Nat1videos]

Thanks Rick! Yes please do and give him a follow on Instagram too. Fantastic stuff all round :D

[@masterballuk6780]

[@Nat1videos]

I thought the same! I'm gonna have to make some cosplay stuff now lol

[@wardaddyminiatures]

Cool video mate! I had to have some as soon as I saw his page! Did you order anything?

[@Nat1videos]

We are doing a trade off ... I am printing off a set of hobbit holes for MESBG in return for the Uruk Hai helmet :D
