Haas of Props

Hello Everyone! At this time of year, I always try to take an opportunity to say, "Thank you!" for all your support this past year! And as a thank you I try to give a little something back. This year, it is this free file to make the comlink which we got to see Luke & C3PO use during the trash compactor scene in A New Hope.  It's a really easy build to make and just adds that little something extra to a cosplay or even to a collector's collection:) If you want to get the free files to print your very own, visit my YouTube channel, watch the video and get the link in the description:  #starwars #c3po #lukeskywalker #3dprint #freegift

Hello Everyone! With the release of The War of the Rohirrim releasing soon, I wanted to make something from the OG film trilogy, and since I haven't made anything from the realm of Rohan, I thought it was about time.  Early this year Weta Workshops unveiled their 1:6 scale figure of Theoden on Snowmane. The detail in their sculpts is always amazing, and the shield felt like it would be the perfect start to building up a Rohan collection.  The design looks really complicated to build but once I got into it, it was actually really easy. The embossing and the scoring add so much detail to the piece and since it is for the King it is covered in detail.  If you want to make one here's a link to the template: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1838046691/lotr-king-theoden-shield-template-lotr?click_key=fbf7faf55fe53b6d97d1448a4e047301c4477250%3A1838046691&click_sum=da305f53&ref=shop_home_active_1 Check out the complete build process from start to finish on my YouTube Channel ...

Hello Friends,  Continuing to build some LOTR props, this week's build is Gandalf's staff from The Fellowship of the Ring. I wanted to do something a little different to make this one, since the last 2 were 3D printed. So, I sculpted the staff using foam clay and a wooden dowel as the center support.  If you would like to make one here is a link to the file for the staff template and the printable pipe & nail files: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1812214484/gandalf-the-grey-staff-template-3d-print?click_key=8a9d12b77d700ccd00f30bcc034890292ee271ac%3A1812214484&click_sum=d61b606b&ref=shop_home_active_1 If you want to make one and see the entire build process I used, check out the build here on my YouTube channel:  #lotr #gandalf #lordoftherings #foamclay #foamsmith #sculpting

Hello Friends! I have been a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings movies, ever since they came out when I was a kid. In fact, they are the main reason why I became a propmaker! I went to see each one in the theatre multiple times, and when the extended editions came out with all the behind-the-scenes bonus features, I would prop myself up in front of the TV and not move all weekend until I had watched and rewatched every featurette.  I now had the time to make this Uruk-Hai General Helmet from The Two Towers, I wished it had made the films, it would have been very impressive on the big screen. But at least Weta released their model collectible!  This is an easy and fast build if you would like to make one here is a link to the template: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18aHx6TJUQ3opOGgu3kn27kObbwmo2xwu/view?usp=sharing Check out the complete build process on my YouTube channel right here: #lotr #lordoftherings #evafoam #foamsmith #urukhai

Hello Everyone! Continuing with the Urk-Hai builds, I thought it was time to make their scimitar sword when we get to see a lot of in The Two Towers. I wanted to try something different with this project, so I printed the base and decided to apply the texture as a physical texture instead of having the texture in the 3d print. This cut down the amount of sanding that was needed to finish the print and helped the sword match my other Uruk builds.  As a thank you for all your support this past year, I am providing these files for free. Here is the link to the free stl files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12QE9PNtE3_fkdgeS6pGr_1UVPV9EeEqa/view?usp=sharing Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

H ello Friends!  I've been seeing others using spot putty with acetone in their smoothing for 3d prints, and I've been wanting to give it a try. So, I thought I would knock out 2 birds with 1 stone. Grogu's rondel was a perfect piece to attempt this with because it is meant to be super smooth on the front, but the back has a tone of small detail.  Coming up I'm going to attempt this spray technique on a larger piece like a helmet. Stay tuned... in the meantime, if you would like one of the rondels for yourself and you don't have a 3d printer check out this link:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/1485844740/grogu-rondel-3d-printed-prop-din-grogu?click_key=87b6cac76c7b69e2e73a58b6015699efa542c208%3A1485844740&click_sum=82f8b435&ref=shop_home_active_1 If you want to see the process of using spot putty mixed with acetone to smooth out prints, you can check it out here: #grogu #themandalorian #disneyplus #rondel #3dprinting
