to build this vendor tech rocket slammer
weapon from the game fortnight well
today we need to finish this up we need
to paint it and make it look the way it
does in the game
before we start adding paint there’s a
few more steps we have to take to clean
it up and really make it look nice
we’ve already done a little bit of
cleaning using our rotary tool to take
down some corners and make them look a
little bit nice and rounded we need to
do a little bit more of that and then
this hammer has some interesting
engraved sort of portions that go around
it what we’re gonna do to make those is
take this nail hold it in a pair of
pliers heat it up with a propane torch
and then use it to slowly melt the
designs into the foam we’ll have to be
careful we don’t melt all the way
through because we’re repairing the foam
after it’s been shaped it’s kind of
tricky let’s get started with a rotary
tool and take down any edges that we
want to have a little bit more rounded
I think all of our engraving lines are
now nicely etched into the surface of
the hammer so it’s time to move on to
the paint preparation there are some
gaps that I don’t want in this whole
hammer so one of the steps for our paint
prep is applying more of this gallery
glass I used a little bit of this before
when I was sealing up some of the cracks
making the front of the head of the
hammer but now it’s time to go through
and find anywhere that has too much open
foam and fill that with a thin layer of
this gallery glass well then use a heat
gun on low to try and make it dry a
little bit faster and after we do that
we’re actually going to hit the hole
hammer with the heat gun on high because
as I may have explained before that
helps seal up the foam and make it more
with the foam sealed up we now need to
hit the hole hammer top-to-bottom with a
part of the body of the hammer and a
little bit of the rocket on the back
seem to have a little bit of texture so
to simulate that I’m going to take our
same liquid letting I’m just gonna use a
paintbrush to apply it in one direction
and I’m hoping that my brush strokes
will give it a similar texture to what
[Music]
with our texture added up here it’s time
the all-white version of the hammer its
chiseled out of marble you know I’m just
very strong the whole hammer is covered
in primer and I’m ready to start
applying paint and it’s a little bit of
a puzzle because different parts of the
hammer are different colors the whole
head here is a sort of very dark almost
black not quite black that I’m gonna be
painting what’s called oiled bronze
these attachment flanges and the fins
are the same color as the head of the
hammer as is some parts of the back
there’s also a black color that will go
on the bottom of the handle there are a
few little spots that are going to be a
bright blue color and those ones I know
I want to tape off because I actually
want to use the white primer as a base
for the blue because the blue is not
going to show up as well I have it dark
with silver underneath
now I’m gonna take this oil rubbed
bronze color spray-paint and hit the
head of the hammer the four fins around
the sides these three supports down at
the bottom and part of the back of the
rocket while spraying that on it’s
definitely going to overlap on two parts
that need to be more silver colored what
I’m just going to do is paint the parts
that need to be this color and then I’ll
tape them off and I’ll go over it with
my silver spray paint to get all the
now we got to let this dry mask parts of
it off and paint a whole lot of its
silver I’ve got my tubes that I have not
yet painted or attached and I haven’t
attached from yet because I thought that
having them on already would have gotten
in the way of painting some of the rest
of the hammer but let’s try and turn
these red and then we can attach them to
the hammer after we peel our tape off
I think our paint is dry let’s start
peeling all of our tape off and
hopefully the masking tape is going to
do what it’s supposed to and not stick
to our paint so much that it peels as
right now I am trying to bleed dry the
ink cartridge from a Sharpie that claims
to be like a super bright neon blue and
there are brighter colors out there but
they’re mostly highlighters which aren’t
necessarily as permanent as I want so I
was hoping that by using a permanent
marker I would get something really
stick forever I’m not convinced that
this color is actually going to be one
that I really like well fill the hopper
of the airbrush here and then do a
couple of tests and see what I think the
ink from the Sharpie was a pretty good
color but when I put in my airbrush it
sort of started fluttering and
splattering just a little bit and it
wasn’t a huge problem but it was enough
of a problem that I didn’t want to keep
using it so I’m gonna toss that out and
instead I’m going to be using this
alcohol ink that’s used for like stamp
making and stuff I think it does a great
job of just going right through an
airbrush it’s very thin and so it does a
very good job of spreading nicely it’s a
slightly different color with a tiny bit
more green to it but I think that will
actually work out nicely leaving the
middle a little bit white just to give
[Music]
well our paint is drying I think it’s
time to attach our red hoses
after peeling off the painters tape from
our yellow stripes that was the last
step and our hammer is now fully painted
and completed there’s a lot of steps to
painting this as you saw but in the end
it was all worth it I think because this
thing looks totally awesome and I am
super happy with how it’s turned out hey
guys we’ve still got more for you to see
there’s a little box at the top that
will transport you directly to our last
video go check it out the box at the
