Realistic Burnt and Scratched Painting tutorial

[bulldogresler]

EDIT JUNE 2ND! VIDEOS ARE BACK UP!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you guys for being patient. I've had a rough time with my computer lately so I am very sorry for the problem.

Hey guys. I'm back from my break and I'm already 95% done with my recon helmet. Before I start, this tutorial does involve the use of an open flame on your armor. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE/HARM THAT COMES TO YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY WHILE FOLLOWING THIS. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The pep file I used was on the halo costuming wiki, and its the smoothed version. I did the usual pep/resin/bondo method, and while creating the damage details, I accidentally discovered an awesome way to do cool battle damage on your armor parts. I really don't like the way that other methods I've tried to do battle damage have turned out, so I created my own style.

Part 1


Part 2


Sorry for the length of the video, but it does take a while to do this technique. About 30 mins to an hour depending on how much damage you want to create. Tell me what you guys think, or if you have any questions just leave a reply. Thanks for checking it out.

EDIT: For some reason the audio has failed to work on the first video. Basically its just me showing you that you want to dremel all the way through your bondo down to the resin, so that when you burn it and paint it it won't just look like another layer of paint on top of your base color. When I take it downstairs I mention how you will want to char it so that the paint bubbles. ALSO, THE PAINT WHEN BUBBLED DOES RELEASE A FUME, AND YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE WEARING A RESPIRATOR WHILE DOING THIS. Sorry for the audio problem

When I play the video all i get is the song with no talking? I get the idea of how to do what you are showing. Good idea

on the second video it was just me talking to myself in the beginning, so i sped it up and put music there, but thats only for the first minute and 10 seconds. the rest of the video is me finishing the tutorial.

I watched these videos earlier, but I forgot to comment. I think it's an awesome technique! But why did you remove the videos, sir?

I was thinking the same thing! Most likely a youtube restriction (they can be a little touchy!). The other thing might be he's fixing the audio issues

[Swift]

Yes, I was rather sadphace to see these removed, I'd like to see these techniques... Perhaps a written tutorial if you can't get the videos working?
