Sculpting Gandalf the Grey's Staff with Foam Clay | Plus Some Added Accessories | Gandalf Pipe


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

Make a Boromir Shield with Plywood & EVA Foam | LOTR SHIELD for Larping or Cosplay Faux Leather

Image
Hi Everyone! A few of you have been asking me to make Boromir's shield, and I finally managed to do it!  I decided to make it as close to the screen used prop as possible, and after much research that meant making a shield with a convex front surface and a flat back surface. The shield is made with EVA foam and uses lauan to create a suitable support surface to adhere the foam to, and also incorporates metal into the grip and brackets in order to make it more durable for larping needs. Even with these added elements the shield is very light and weighs under 5 lbs.

How to Make a LOTR Uruk-Hai General Helmet | URUK HAI HELMET Free Template | Lord of the Rings

Image
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

Making a Life-size IG-12 Droid from The Mandalorian, Part 2 - The Chest with Grogu | STAR WARS

Image
Hello friends! Here is the 2nd video showing you how I made this life-sized IG-12. Several months ago, I went a little crazy and began to make a life-size IG-12 droid so my @Mattel Grogu figure would have a place to hang out. It took 4 weeks to build and another week to paint, so I decided to split the build into multiple videos to make it easier to watch:  1st - The Head  2nd - Chest & Shoulders  3rd - Pelvis & Hips  4th - Legs & Base  5th - Posable Arms  6th - Painting  All these videos are available for watching! Here is the link to the template for the chest & shoulders: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1562521393/life-size-ig-12-chest-compartment-for?click_key=b32cd4a7d7d6dffa9f4520e60bdf8164e4a09055%3A1562521393&click_sum=8b66463c&ref=shop_home_active_1 You can check out the complete build on my YouTube: #mandalorian #grogu #ig-12 #foamsmith #droid
