Hey everyone! Steve here at SKS Props but this is my second channel SKS Hobbies! As an artist there are all kinds of projects I like to work on behind the scenes that aren't Cosplay related. Some of those projects include 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, Building Models and Painting Miniatures!

Finishing up the Morita from Starship Troopers. Note that it is a fake cosplay prop. This was a 3D print that I spent a lot of time on to make it look as realistic as possible, and overall I’m really happy with how it came out.

Taking Starship Troopers back to DragonCon for a group meetup Friday. While I like my foam helmet I got a resin cast kit from my friend Shawn Thorssen. Yesterday I started assembling it by removing the flashing and wet sanding the surface to minimize mold lines.
From there I painted it the correct color and sprayed the clear coat in a way to give it the texture I wanted. It has been fun working with resin again, especially since that’s all I did before I got into foam fabrication years ago.

Continuing my Artillery Witch build. After sanding for an eternity I coated the helmet with a layer of krylon Black Primer and rustoleum Flat Soft Iron. This will provide a great base color for hand painting and weathering.

Working on a Huge Artillery Witch helmet to add to my Trench Crusade cosplay collection. The files for this come from Galactic Armory and can be found over on their Patreon. This was printed on a Bambu X1 Carbon in standard grey pla. Next up priming, sanding, and paint

Just posted a step by step tutorial of my Janissary helmet Modeled by Galactic armory and printed / finished by me. I even used gold leaf and ostrich feather to help bring it to life

Because I like pics more than reels, here’s a flip through of the progress on my Trench Crusade Janissarie helmet. Full tutorial in the work and will be out on my second channel SKS Hobbies

I know this one isn’t foam but i did use foam inside the helmet 😂 you all know i’m constantly showing finishing techniques in my videos. For the Jannisarrie helmet I wanted to go with more of an authentic metal look so I’m adding Gold Leaf. This extremely delicate material will adhere to the glue I brushed onto the surface. It gives a great look to the overall piece! #trenchcrusade #goldleaf #3dprinting #cosplay
