How I Weathered a Bo-Katan Helmet with Oil Paints // Cosplay Weathering Tip

[@raindrop9377]

So much energy I need it

[@vaultfox]

it was a very efficient filming session that's for sure

[@deltastic]

i am honored, best friend ever. always here for yo hype

[@vaultfox]

thank you for never judging me

[@scmiller33]

I can’t find Naphtha in my area, can I use regular paint thinner (knowing it will take longer to dry)?

[@vaultfox]

You should be able to! Haven't tried it myself but have heard it's a goodd substitute

[@scmiller33]

Awesome.
Thanks@@vaultfox .!

[@johnnieramsey9437]

Awsome I will be trying this

[@vaultfox]

nice!

[@Lungorthin666]

Does the prop need to be clear coated first?

[@ronm6585]

Very cool, thanks.

[@vaultfox]

glad it helped!

[@offearth3d]

Thanks for the plug, also I’m filming all my videos on Pre Workout 🤣

[@vaultfox]

of course!! it's a really awesome technique so thanks for sharing it! and well, I'll say I only had 10 minutes of voiceover footage so it was def one of my more ... efficient filming sessions. Was it worth the crash afterwards? probably not

[@ΑνέστηςΙσαακίδης-κ9ν]

Hi, thanks for the video! Do you seal it afterwards with any varnish?

[@vaultfox]

I personally didn't seal it, but if you're going to I would do a quick test of how it reacts. I've had some weird issues in the past with sealing oil paints because I didn't let the paints cure correctly

[@karlastruerlund9846]

Thanks for the tip!
I live in Denmark and I can't find any Naphtha, and I don't really know what it is. I tried googling it, and I found something called rensebenzin (in Danish). Do you know if I can use it?
I just tried the uv resin trick BTW, works really well!

[@vaultfox]

Can't really tell you if it's the same or not as I'm not familiar, sorry. But glad to hear the resin trick works! It's really changed the game for me

[@karlastruerlund9846]

@@vaultfox okay, thank you though. Me too!

[@redevil665]

This looks great! Did you seal the clean paint beforehand?

[@vaultfox]

nope, didn't seal before or after. I would test it to see how it reacted if you did either of those things first

[@unoladproductions1291]

Hi there! The weathering looks amazing!! How long does this take to dry?

[@vaultfox]

Thanks! It actually doesn’t take that long at all since you’re diluting the oil paints, I’d say things were dry to the touch after 15 minutes. But I still let everything dry for 24 hours just to be safe.

[@cuanberrow5506]

What did you have the helmet its self from. Is it 3d printed?

[@vaultfox]

It's a 3D print, I have a few videos on how I finished it up to this point

[@tomkness6959]

Hmmm now I want to prework out before builds.

[@vaultfox]

for filming it was .... interesting, but taking it before a long build day? I mean, I'd try it
