Brilliant xxx memories
Thanks for watching!
Couldn't you have just converted it to a Wheel In Space type?
I could have done, but it was originally a Tomb type and the chap who wanted the head, wanted a Tomb head.
you did amazing
Thank you!
Interesting how it did not do anything to the matte finish. At least I think its matte. Is this the same as ronsonel (spelling its the lighter fluid we have in the states). Thanks so much!!
Lighter fluid is a solvent that evaporates quickly, so it doesn't affect the material's properties. The book cover here is matte - and still is after the process. I know the product that you're talking about and it is largely the same as what I've been using, so you'll be fine doing this kind of procedure with it. Thanks for watching!
Thank-you so much!!
Digging up some of the ingenuity of the 1.98 FX/prop budget days of BBC. They absolutely look like they belong in a futuristic yet lived in universe. While time and age has restricted me I used to haunt the local Menards, Home Depot Builders Square plumbing departments,dollar stores and flea markets for prop materials. Old Nerf weapons with a bit of rework, modding and paint became serious looking blasters and slug throwers etc. Best one I came across that just needed some quick olive drab paint, some yellow stenciling with proper militaryish nomenclature were some small in ground pop up sprinkler heads that if you pressed down a certain way on top the spring loaded head popped up. Easily some quick and dirty space marine hand grenades.
Thanks for watching. It's always fascinated me how you can assemble some random(ish) parts together and end up with quite a believable prop at the end of it.
Very cool, thanks for the tip
No problem 👍
Excellent 💯💯💯💯
Thank you! Cheers!
I appreciate why you're doing it the way you are, but if it were me I'd almost be tempted to stipple on with a very dry brush some greens for moss and lichen, haha. It looks great, regardless!
Thanks. It's been repainted since this video was made, but I do understand the temptation to add "improvements" that aren't on the original. The only time that I do that is when there is no proof either way that something is or isn't there. Then and only then do I allow myself a bit of creative licence.
I wish i could buy your props they are amazing!
People have bought my stuff in the past, when I've made things available.
@@PBProps I would love to see you one day making the Arwel Wyn Jones TARDIS Exterior
This is great for a custom of the Unbound war doctor (Colin Baker).
outstanding!
Even Cybermen appreciate a little TLC 👍
That's very true.
As far as I can remember, I've always imagined objects as other things, I think I missed my calling as a prop builder.
That's pretty much how it starts!
I'm really enjoying your videos, I love the sixties designs for the cybermen. I'm planning to build a tomb head but struggling to find measurements. Are you aware of where I might find even a few basic dimensions to start from?
Well I am really glad that you're enjoying the content here - so thanks for watching. As to your question regarding the Tomb head, unfortunately I no longer have one to give you measurements from, but I'm sure if you look at some of the prop boards, there must be someone there who can help you. Good luck with it all!
@@PBProps Thanks for the reply. I can't find anything on the Moonbase/Tomb style helmets but I have gathered lots of reference photos and think I can make a decent guess. I think it's more important to get the proportions right for it to look correct.
I know that there are measurements for later classic Cybermen out there, Revenge and Earthshock styles. If you can find those, they will give you a starting point as those were made using the original Tomb style head with new details sculpted on to it. Best of luck with your project.
@@PBProps Perfect, that is helpful as I have found sizes for the revenge cyber heads. Between that and reference photos I should be OK. Thanks.
I love your channel, because you really allow us to see all the decisions being made, and the problem solving going on when your doing a job like this. A lot of people think artistic endeavors are super heady and giga-brained tasks, but almost all of it is just decisions and problem solving. Choices and Perseverance.
Well thanks for noticing. Most projects are simply a case of solving lots of small problems until the job is done. Yes there is an element of experience to draw from, but that's built up over years. I'm always happy to share what I know because that's how information lives on.
The formula for your thickness consistency is 18 drops for every 254 grams. About 7 drops of thickener for every 100 grams.
I tend to eye ball the mix as the conditions do affect the outcome, you know, ambient heat, humidity and percentage of catalyst added. You just get a feel for what's right, but thanks for taking the time to calculate that.
@@PBProps thank you for your awesome content
My dude, you have a serious addiction. You need an intervention!
Would it work if you use boiling water instead?
Unfortunately not as you need to "reflow" the plastic. Boiling water simply wouldn't reach the temperature needed to cause this to happen.
Fantastic! It works. Thanks
Great to hear!
I build mine with popsicle sticks and it didn’t turn out half that bad
What we make these models from is largely irrelevant to the end product, it's how you make and finish them. I've made models in the past from all manner of "junk" - including cereal packets, scrap card and old lids from things, but with the end result, you couldn't tell, so I'm not surprised that your popsicle sticks build turned out nice.
Would you do a video om how to rewire this kind of tardis to stock as mine has had its wires corroded and I've not a clue where what wire goes 😂
How many wires from yours have come off? I think there may be only two long wires coming down from the top, so those ought to be fairly easy to work out where they go. It's been a long time since I did this, so my memory of the system is very foggy.
@PBProps I'd say the whole board as the insulation has rotted not sure how probably the age it's not too much hassle for me to figure out just wanna get it right first time 🤣
That's quite unusual that the whole lot has rotten out - never heard of that happening before. Best of luck sorting that out, though I'm sure you'll manage it.
How do you find the DWR silicone compared to Smooth on Mold max?
It does the job as well as it needs to. Smooth On is over hyped and over priced, if you want my honest appraisal. Can't say anything about Mold Max as I've never used it - I'm not even sure if you can get it in the UK, you probably can, but I've never looked for it.
@@PBProps thankyou. It is available from Bentlry supplies but I'm migrating to DWR. Thankyou
Did you just say that you own the casts/moulds for the MK1 Red Dwarf Bazookoid? 🤔🤯
I measured the props and can lay my hands on the moulds, but 50% of these props were built from off the shelf parts.
@@PBProps Cool even better
Your long barrel needs to be abit more straight instead of hanging down
It's a pyro effects gun, the whole lot is in pieces. The only way to rectify this would be a rebuild, but the collectors probably wouldn't want that. Also, it's not mine.
@@PBProps Ah i thought that it belonged to you
Now you just need to install som different coloured LED lights/sounds from series 3 4 5/6 of Red Dwarf 😉😁🔫🔴
Don't know how I missed this video -- Looking forward to it, and hoping you're well!⭐
Being the first video that I ever made, it got buried right down at the bottom of the pile. And yes, I'm doing well thanks!
Thank you sir for a great restoration project. Pity we didn't see what the client made of your craftsmanship, I'd assume it was hand shakes all around. Like other commentors, this was 70 minutes too short :)
And thank you for watching, I'm so pleased that you liked the project. As for client's reactions, it's pretty rare for me to see that - though one of the 4th Doctor TARDIS builds videos does have footage of a chap receiving his model at the start. I'm happy to say that his reaction was priceless and that he was thrilled.
@@PBProps Watching your other videos, e.g. key sales, client positive reaction appears to be a vindication of your blood, sweat & tears. It’s not the money (though it’s nice & necessary). I share the love of the build, often to the detriment of other ‘life’ items. Oh well, much ado..
Well, the money helps to keep the lights on, though I just wish that the channel would bring in more to support the projects, but it is what it is. I do love making things and sharing that with everyone here, so that's the main drive for me.
@@PBProps The ££s certainly are needed. Perhaps you could supply your props somewhere else (for example Amazon) and let them fulfill your orders. You can then simply point your customers to Amazons (or whomevers) product page. Just a thought.
Your friend with the Moulds isn't Stuart Evans it it?
No it's not, though I did used to know Stuart. His mum and my mum were on good terms and used to have long chats over the phone.
Well done! Fantastic!
Thanks very much!
Qual o material usado no vídeo?
É plástico de estireno. Disponível na maioria das lojas de hobby.
@@PBProps obrigado, aqui onde moro não tem 😅 Parabéns por cada um dos vídeos, seus trabalhos são ótimos.
@@adaovianadacruz2642 Obrigado por assistir. Você não precisa ser um fã do programa para curtir meus vídeos, espero que sejam apenas projetos interessantes para as pessoas assistirem e aprenderem um ou dois processos...
@@PBProps estou fazendo minha versão da Tardis usando pvc, mas sem ferramentas tá difícil 😅
Deve ser bastante fácil se tiver uma régua de metal decente e uma faca de cozinha, além da cola de PVC correcta. Não tenhas pressa e vai com calma. Por favor, diga-me como correu.
Nice editing
Thanks very much!
How much would you charge for a 8th doctors tardis 1:13th?
I'm not in a position to make these right now. Sorry about that.
@@PBProps no worries where about can I get the sealed down version for the 8th doctors tardis? As I would like to try but have struggled to get the scaling numbers to be right
I wouldn't know where to go for that, all I can suggest that you do is find the drawings for the full scale prop and then divide every measurement by 13. It's really that simple.
