Title: A few video props (Pic Heavy) Post by: MONEYPYRO on August 15, 2016, 02:52:02 AM Hey everyone! I think I've mentioned multiple times that I'm working on a new Star Wars video, and because of that, I've been making a few props. Most of these had already been painted, but I've redone them to give them a flatter look, rather than a glossy shiny look.
So first off, we have a pistol. I showed this in another post I made, but I've since then used some chrome paint to help weather it, and repainted the brown grip. This has been my first real attempt at weathering an object, and I don't think I did half bad.

Its just a painted Rubiks Cube, and oh my god was it a pain to paint. Or at least, a pain to tape off. Originally, the squares were a glossy black, and the lines were a very dull silver. Now, it's a flatter black, that looks a bit "old", and the lines were repainted in chrome, and give it a brighter silver look. (https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14034693_1042619685835097_1514871647415890906_n.jpg?oh=0235c724476516378c86440451c71383&oe=581CB897) I also have a couple props which I don't think will be in this film, but they're still cool nonetheless. This is an old paintball/airsoft mask I had, which was terrible, so I decided to paint it. This picture is comparing the old version (top pictures) to the new (bottom pictures). I may or may not weather it at some point, but I think it works well as some sort of Acolyte, or Sith Apprentice mask. (https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13912524_1039590839471315_6375463619658953576_n.jpg?oh=ecfbb36f1e3b1fce96974b73ae9a3e84&oe=584D64DD) And last but not least, is my Dark Apprentice. Now when I got this, I got it as a free initiate saber when I got all my UltraSabers. But one thing always kinda bothered me. Why is the blade blue, yet the hilt is black? Black isn't a very Jedi color, especially not when the blade is blue. So I decided to fix it up into an Apprentice LE style saber. It isn't as shiny as an actual Apprentice LE saber would be, but I think I did pretty good on it. First picture is the original look of the hilt (https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s280x280/13921008_1040968982666834_1186477374144422605_n.jpg?oh=b3acd95790a5072ad4014ff0ba2a6032&oe=5812737D) Seconds picture is the finished hilt compared to my Aeon V3 (https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p320x320/13921008_1040968716000194_4590735851921725638_n.jpg?oh=a41358d1adfee036189cdef211e58649&oe=581D74AF) And finally, the finished hilt with an ignited blade (https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/q85/s960x960/13988148_1040968769333522_4852536812788515845_o.jpg) What are your guys' thoughts on what I made? Do you like them? Do you not? Let me know! I'm always open to comments on my work ;D EDIT: The pictures for the mask really don't do it justice, as the pictures I took of the old mask were taken with flash on, hence why the silver on it looks just about as shiny as on the new mask |
