- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- In this video I show the steps I took to make the original Blades of Chaos from God of War! These blades are made entirely out of EVA Foam so they are extremely lightweight and convention safe. Not only so I show the building process but I have a template on my site you can download to create some for yourself!

Thank you very much for the tutorials, do a great job. Please can you make a tutorial for Wonder Woman's sword and shield? Greetings from Chile.
That has got to be, hands down, the best re-creation of the blades of chaos I have seen to date. You are amazing!
Just wait until you see the ones I just finished that were hand sculpted out of clay and resin cast :)
I have seen a couple of people make these recently. Thankyou for showing that there are more tools for shaping foam than a razor and a dremel.
Armoury-Terrain Thanks’
Mind you, lots of people can't afford more than a razor and a Dremel (rotary tool). To them it's just a hobby and a way to have fun :)
Wow. The way you layered the paint on this, weathering and then bringing the colors back, was amazing. Thanks!
You’re welcome!!
Odin Abbott made a good set of these recently. It's the incredible detailing and weathering that sets these apart.
Chad Pugh Thanks!
And if you like these foam ones then you'll love the version I hand sculpted and resin cast ua-cam.com/video/plte6dHXMBg/v-deo.html
Another amazing build sir.
michael garcia Thank You!
Steven, you are truly an artist! Absolutely incredible work!!
That paint job is stellar!
Thank You!
LEVIATHAN AXE NEXT! Loved the StormBreaker build
Bob Smith is the BEST GLUE EVER. Great video Steve!
Thanks!
First time seeing painting without masking taps, what a master work, cool!
Thanks!
It doesn't look like you have a problem with this from the video, but I recently discovered a new trick for sanding/sculpting the foam. I used one of my dremel sanding drums that got covered in something that smoothed out the texture completely, almost to like a 1000 grit. It left virtually no trace that the foam had been sanded when used, and when painted over with a base color of paint looked more like sculpted clay than foam. I was carving a somewhat realistic face so I needed small, smooth details and that helped a ton.
Logan Smith yeah that’s great. I have 5 different drums in various degrees of wear the final pass is a drum that’s almost completely covered in apoxi sculpt and bondo so it basically smooths out the foam at high speed
didnt realise you hand painted so much, tutorials with what paint and how to use with what brush are really helpfull
Thanks!
I would love to get more details about the pieces for the skull, it's gonna be a challange for some of us to do that like you!
Awesome blades
Thank You!
Parabéns.Sou fâ do Kratos e seu trabalho ficou perfeito.
Thanks!
Oh wow, painting without masking! You're a braver man than I! xD I hope your daughter is doing well!
Trang Ta it all cleans up in the end :) and thanks! She’s doing a little better each day
Thank you for sharing!
Magnificent! Absolutely superb!
Thank You!
amazing...
IanDarkov Thanks!
amazing work...and i love the music
Randall Bourque Thanks!
Omg! I think I just heard my heart skip a beat! These are just amazing! I mean …. I think I am drooling as well! 😂
Thanks! 🙌
This going to be cool to make since i am wanting to do some foam art/craft which one is from God of War and seen this, Thanks! i can't wait to do my own! :)
Who the hell would downvote this? Another awesome video. Now to build these bad boys myself.
TheGame2K5 Thank You!
Nice work man😍
You are so good. I love how you paint your props. I wish I could do them the same way xD
Thanks!
They look better than the licensed ones, amazing
Mozart Araújo Thank You! Just wait until you see the ones I just finished that were hand sculpted and resin cast :)
Already have the bell activated.
Nice job, please make the Leviathan axe, greetings from Mexico!!!👍👍👍
So cool
Thank You!
Please make the Leviathan axe!!
Head on over to Odin makes if you want to see a leviathan axe
amazing video quick question do you have a video explaining step by step how to build it i want to try to make a set
Thanks! No that was back before I did the step by step process I do now
Amazing video
Thank you!!
Could you make Lucille, Negan's bat from The Walking Dead?
Matthew Gresham I actually made one close check out my cosplay melee weapons part 2 video I made a bat with my own leather barbed wire
Sick brother!💪😎
I know bevelling those were a pain lol
Yes they were it's a one shot deal :)
SKS Props after commissioning 4 stormbreakers I'm tired of sanding foam haha
Fantastic work! Roughly how many hours went into this build?
Sam Girgenti Approx 15 hours
Wow! Making texture with aluminum foil, didn't tought about that ! Gonna be using that trcik real soon :]
Yep one of my all time favorite techniques 👍
I gave it a try on a sword I'm working on and it turned out... not that bad for a first try !
I definitely need to practice but it's a really great technique
EVA foam is magic :D
Very cool video, trying to get into this stuff right now and going to give this is a shot. Only thing is...where did you get 1" EVA foam from? I can't find it anywhere.
Thanks! I got the one inch foam from TNT cosplay but the one inch foam is kind of expensive and because of it's density doesn't sand well on a belt sander, worse case just layer two 1/2" pieces with a rod in the middle for stability
@@SKSProps Awesome thanks for the info. It is a bit hard to get certain things out here in Hawaii so any ways to get around things are worth a try. Thanks again for the quick reply.
Un verdadero reto seria hacer la hoja del olimpo
Amazing build dude!
What did you use to draw onto your foam? I normal use Sharpie or a Biro but your magic little dude seems to do an awesome job!
Myles Gowen its a sculpting point I got from a dental set works great. Sharpies dry out to fast and aren’t as accurate
why this video doesnt have thousand like???
drgedy atmadja Please help me out by sharing it :)
Brilliant job! Are you going to do the other blades too? Athena and Exile?
Thank You, I really like the cracked blades from GOW Ascension might try those
Hey man, amazing work.
Recently picked up these prop making for fun and was interested in making me a pair of these
But is the template supposed to be just one image? That’s very hard to work with. What about the smaller parts you used for the skull and stuff?
This was waaaay back before I broke everything down like I do now. You’ll just have to watch the video and make those pieces yourself
Como hacer el resto de las plantillas para hacer el cráneo
Faz a espada do thanos..❤
Sweet👍🏾
Wait, how did you reattach the chains after paining the blades?
The chains are plastic and have a slit cut into one of the links so I can just pop that link on and off
Which of the foams are you using from TNT? The 38 kg? Or one of the more dense ones?
Sarah Anderson yep the 38
Hey Steve, what size dowels are you using for the teeth?
Been a while but I’m pretty sure those were 10mm
Amazing!
You skipped over the part on how you attached the handle. ;-)
Yeah I realized that after the video was uploaded. There are more detailed shots on my build thread www.instructables.com/id/God-of-War-Foam-Cosplay-Blades-of-Chaos-SKS-Props/
So is the template supposed to be just one image?
Pls make kratos axe
Make Kratos' Leviathan Axe
Hi, I want to ask, what type of foam you use for these weapons. And what is the best type of foam from swords to fight and hard using.
Matúš Banas these were from an American company but I’ve heard polyprops overseas have done good foam for larping
@@SKSProps thank you!
Where do you get the thick foam? is that 30mm?
unfortunately I don't know anyone that sells it in the US anymore you'd just have to glue several 10mm sheets together with contact cement or 3m spray adheasive
Da pra mim essa laminas eu quero muito elas mais do que tudo nesse mundo
I cant find its templates....please show me how
make Chaos Eater from darksider
The aluminum foil thing is genius
Do we have a 'Steve of war' full cosplay coming then? 😂
No sir I def have a different kind of "Dad Bod" than Kratos :)
Would it be possible to commission you to make something?
Something like another storm breaker
Unfortunately between conventions, personal projects, orders and family I am just waaayyy to busy to take on commissions. However the products I do sell can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/sksprops
SKS Props awe so I missed out on stormvreaker
SKS Props stormbreaker is not on Etsy so is it sold or was not posted
Jacob it wasn’t listed it will travel to conventions with me. Stormbreaker was just built to inspire others to build their own
Wood handle and plastic chain
Check out the ones I made that are hand sculpted and resin cast ua-cam.com/video/plte6dHXMBg/v-deo.html
The cosplayer had the right look for sure but needed to be a little bigger and more shredded.
Chad Pugh Actually this was taken during his bulk phase not long after he did his lean phase and won several competitions for bodybuilding. I think the paint is minimizing his definition
@@SKSProps quite possibly. Either way, he looks way better than me and is carrying an awesome prop.
Chad Pugh Thanks man
I luv your work truly but the over spray of the base coat is still visible and drives me nuts.
Do you sell this? Take my money.
