This tutorial from VanOaksProps walks through building a wearable Tusken Raider helmet using duck canvas, faux leather, and hot glue as the primary construction method, with a Thingiverse 3D model as a reference or base. The build incorporates fabric shaping, leather detailing, and a multi-step paint and weathering process to achieve an authentic, battle-worn look. The video is sponsored by Surebonder, whose cordless glue gun and Cosplay Stik adhesive are featured throughout. The finished prop is suited for Star Wars cosplay or Halloween costume use.
This short tutorial from VanOaksProps demonstrates using UV resin as a faster, easier alternative to air-dry spot putty for smoothing layer lines on FDM 3D prints. The technique is demonstrated on a Boba Fett helmet and involves applying UV resin to fill surface imperfections, curing it quickly under a UV light, then sanding smooth. The result is a significantly cleaner surface with less effort than traditional methods.
