Hey everybody! Thunder Kitten here, and in
some circles,
this is what's known as my face. So I
recently uploaded a RWBY theory about
Emerald, and before I uploaded that
theory I had my Yang theory posted. And I
had about 23 subscribers at that time. As
of today, I have over 500, and, you guys, I
can't comprehend that. I can't wrap my
mind around this idea that over 500
people care about what I have to say
about some internet show, and that's
awesome! ! started doing those RWBY
theory videos just for the fun of it,
just to see what would happen, and the
response, it's overwhelming. You all I-I
can't even begin to say how grateful I
am. So thank you very, very much for
making this tiny, tiny channel suddenly
grow basically overnight.
That is incredible. I did want to take a
little bit of time to show something
else that I'm interested in, and that's
cosplay. And since you guys are
interested in RWBY, I thought I would
show off my Nora Valkyrie Magnhild
hammer.
Don't worry, I will be making more theory
videos, so it's not going to suddenly
become a cosplay channel overnight, ok?
But, if you enjoy this video and would
like to see more cosplay stuff, please,
just let me know. I'm more than happy to
show off more stuff, or work on some
tutorials, or who knows. A lot of new cosplayers
or aspiring cosplayers get
really discouraged from seeing some of
the amazing cosplays that are out there
and realizing they're expensive
materials and that they could never
afford stuff like that. So I wanted to
make this video just to show you guys
that you can have fun and cosplay and make
some really cool stuff out of cheap and
easy to find materials. So why don't we
go take a look at the hammer? So here are
the main things that I used on this
hammer build. Firstly EVA foam. This is
craft foam, just from Hobby Lobby.
You can get these sheets for about a
dollar typically, and i used a
combination of two millimeter and three
millimeter. You can also get thicker
pieces of foam,
especially as floor mats. People will
often use those for armor builds. Most
often times you'll see that for Mass
Effect armor or Gears of War armor.
Recently, Punished Props did a steel
armor build from Skyrim that looked
really good out of these floor mats as
well.
Next, I've got non corrugated cardboard, also
known as chipboard. You can see it's
really thin and it's actually very
sturdy. It's kind of like cardstock, only
a little bit thicker, and this is the
stuff that a lot of cereal boxes and
things are made out of.
I like using the raw cardboard instead
of the stuff that's been printed on, like
a cereal box, simply because that tends
to mess with the glue and sometimes
interfere with how it interacts with the
foam and the cardboard and everything.
This is just a divider for a sauce box
at fast-food place, so if you want to ask
McDonald's or anybody like that "hey, do
you have, you know, cardboard dividers in
your sauce boxes?" and sometimes they'll
give them to you for free, so that's one
thing that you can check out. For gluing
the whole thing together, I like to use
tacky glue. And you can find this at
Walmart, you can find it at Hobby Lobby, other
types of craft stores things like that.
It's a little bit more expensive than
other similar white glues, it dries clear,
and I just find it to be a lot more
reliable than, say, like Elmer's glue or
anything like that.
This is great for using on craft foam
and cardboard, but obviously, you know, hot
glue, super glue, gorilla glue, those are
all fantastic glues that are great for
multiple applications. So, it really just
depends on what you're doing with it as
far as your choice of glue is concerned.
Now, I did a lot of raised designs on the
hammer for some intricate patterns, and
so in order to do that, I use 3D fabric
paint. And this you can pick up at any
craft store, fabric store, they-they're
usually only a couple of bucks, maybe
three dollars on average, and you can get
them in all types of different colors. I
just happen to have gold because I
started a project that needed gold, and
I've been using this same bottle for a
couple of years now. I don't really use a
whole lot of it. And it's great, you can
paint over it just fine.
So this is definitely worth picking up
if you want to do any raised designs. It
can get messy, so just be sure to have
plenty of napkins and q-tips around to
help clean up any mistakes that you make
along the way.
Alright, so as you can see, I've laid out
a yardstick for reference, and so the
bottom half of the handle here is about
the same size as this yardstick, as you
can see, and this is just to give you
guys a sense of how monstrous this
thing really is. So, let's take a look at
the detail. For this shallow design here,
this is just some of that cardboard
overlaid on top, just glued straight to
the wood. And then these pieces here, this
is craft foam, and I actually carved in
this design, it's really easy to do.
Actually carved into the craft foam
before sealing it and then I painted it
to make those designs stand out a little
bit more. And you can see the same thing
on the other side. Here, at the top of
this piece, we have little tiny hole that goes
all the way through, and a little slot, and
that just lines up with the bottom of the
top half. It actually slides into this right
here. This is hollow. The inside is still kind of
unpainted. And I put a screw through
there and that just secures it. It's
really sturdy, and that way I can break
it apart so that I can get in a car,
because, obviously, this thing is huge. So
then right here, at the top of the handle,
got this decorative thing, same thing on
the other side. This crossbar here is
also wood. This, that's craft foam to add
a little depth there. See that? I think
that's just a two millimeter. And this
pole does go, this-this whole handle
piece does go straight all the way
through
Now you can probably
see this. All of these designs are
raised. That is the 3D fabric paint. And
then also same thing with the paint job;
darker and lighter to create contrast.
Got this top piece here which is just a
separate piece that is - it's made out of
the cardboard for sturdiness with the
craft foam over top of it. And that's
basically how the whole thing is made;
under sides of each piece are the
cardboard and the top piece is the craft
foam, and that just gave it a nice
sturdiness. So these pieces here, that's
actually just the cardboard, and this is
the foam. Same thing with this. And right
here you can see that again; this is the
foam, this is the cardboard. Nice little
Celtic knot thing. This is just cardboard
with the 3D fabric paint over top of it.
It ended up getting broken at one point, so
I had to glue it back together with
another piece of cardboard underneath. So
there is this little divide that I'm not
super happy, with but you know, mistakes
happen. Things happen, things get damaged,
gotta patch it, that's just how it goes. I
really like this piece here because you
can see how its shaped. You can see
inside the hammer a little bit.
Alright, so I flipped it so we can see a
little bit more inside,
get a better angle here. So for this
whole piece right here, that's a
continuous piece of cardboard and then
these are separate pieces of craft foam
because there is an obvious divide on
her design. And then this is not really a
full ring,
obviously, it's just a partial ring that
goes around on either side. And, yeah this
is the cardboard. I think it's two layers
of cardboard.
That's the minimum that I work with
whenever I work with cardboard. i usually
do two layers and it gives it a nice
sturdiness, because then once you glue
those two pieces of cardboard together,
it almost has a very thin wood feel to
it.
So I've got that - that's cardboard and
then this is a layer of craft foam over
top. I believe that is the three
millimeter cardboard, little bit bigger.
You can see there is a piece of foam.
This is really lightweight, very porous
foam and the whole thing is sort of built
around and attached to that piece as a
support. It is incredibly sturdy, but very
lightweight so definitely something to
look into if you find pieces like this. I
think you can get things like this from
shipping companies, lots of packages will
use it to stabilize the contents of a
box and things like that. And if you can
see these cylinders, I bet you guys can
already guess what those are made out of.
Those are Pringles cans that I sprayed
painted with Valspar paint from Lowe's I
think, and it was - it came in the perfect
color, I was very happy about that.
Alright, so here's the front, same thing;
layers of cardboard with craft foam on
top. At some point, I needed to leave the
craft foam alone while it was gluing to
the cardboard, and I actually had to
secure it with paper clips, and you can
actually see right here where paperclip
dug right into that foam while it was
setting. And just messed that up. But
I actually like it because it kind of
looks a little bit more like battle
damage, so, mistakes happen, but sometimes
they happen and turn out pretty cool.
So I'm not really complaining about that.
As with a lot of the pieces for this
hammer, these designs are etched in. Just
carve those in with a knife,
don't go all the way through the foam,
and then hit it with the heat gun and
that's going to open up. This is a piece
that I'm really proud of, it's this hole
where all her rockets come out of. Its
just basically a cup made out of
cardboard. You can see there's a backing,
kind of see the edge right there,
and from a lot of angles you can't
actually see it, especially if you're at
a distance, you can't tell that there's a
backing to it. It just looks like an endless
black hole,
um, which is pretty great. And then I just
took a little bit of black paint that
was smeared on a napkin, went along the
edges here just to give it to look like
it had fired a few shots off already.
Yeah, and here's the final little spike
piece here on the end. You can't really
see the designs on it very well. I should
have gone over with the 3D paint a
little bit more.
It's very subtle. Again, the whole thing
is just very intricate designs all over.
Its crazy. Lots of work, but totally worth
it.
I absolutely loved working on this
project. Okay! so i hope you enjoyed that.
That was probably a very awkward
transition knowing me. There is an
official Facebook page for the
ThunderKitten channel. I basically wanted
to make a little nerdy community where
we can all talk about awesome things
that we like. We could talk about RWBY
about Star Wars, we could talk about video
games, we could talk about comic books. You
can post your fanart, or photos of your
cosplays. Pretty much just a nerdy place
where nerds can talk about nerdy stuff.
If you'd like to check that out, there
will be a link below in the description,
probably in a downwardsy direction, I don't know.
I wanted to start a fun game with my
subscribers, so here we go! In the comment
sections of my RWBY theory videos, leave
your favorite lines from RWBY and RWBY
Chibi, and I will do my very best at the end
of those videos to impersonate some of
those characters. We'll see how that goes.
Thank you for being such supportive and
fun subscribers! I've really enjoyed
talking to all of you all so far.
Let me know what you think of this video,
and cosplay videos in general, and, as
always, thank you for watching. :)
