Repairs, both basic and more advanced, are tragically absent from the list of tutorials prevalent on the internet. Thanks, Bill! More repair tutorials! :D

I'm doing the same with my art book. I think it's really important to sell stuff on discount if they have issues instead of just destroying them. Excellent work

Watching you (and Brit) sand all your props and knowing i dont have the patience for it makes me really understand where people are coming from in regards to my needlework.

I'm happy to see a repair video! I typically have to repair my cosplays after every con so that wear and tear doesn't build up. It's usually just small paint blemishes, but I'd rather take care of it before it becomes a huge problem.

You can expand the life of this paint by putting the can in the fridge. Low temperature will be slowing cure time and you can still use it after the 48h mark.

Nicely finished. i guess it is time to get the physical copies of the books to go with my digitals.

Nicely done, Bill! And I love your new high tech spray booth!

So sometimes I’ll just go back and binge watch older videos you guys have done . The weird thing is only yesterday I rewatched the making of the helmet . I can only imagine the gut renching feeling when you dropped something on it 😖

Bill loves any chance to show off his masking paper tool. And honestly, can't blame him. It's a damn cool tool.

It's good to see you back in the game. Haven't seen you in a while and

[jmorv]

That there is some pretty cool repair work Bill!

[RONAKAWEED]

May I ask why you sanded so much of the plastic repairing that small section. This gave me a idea.

[TheRealAlpha]

That's a mighty fine sale you got there! Certainly some worthy deals.

[davewilliams]

Shame you didn't do the other paint damage around the top edge of the visor. Good repair though 👍🏻

[ttonygreybeard]

I think I need some more books, to use & put the others in my display case...It really sux when you damage a great prop, I have a few myself.

[flaagan]

That was such an amazing build originally that I'd thought you'd done it to ship off to one of the companies involved, didn't realize at the time you'd done it for your own collection. :)

Looks like you cut/scratched the gloss on the visor when trimming the masking tape. Repair video when?

I am a big consumer of refurbished Apple products. My ears perked up at the Misfit book discount; it's a great offer! Obviously, not refurbished books, lol, but always great to have the option to get something valuable at a discount.

I've been really intimidated with my next cosplan and this sale is a sign that I can do the full body armor. Thank you!

Man, I was a thematic artist for years. I've laid down miles and miles of that blue tape. And I still have my tape-gun! You could cut steak with that serrated edge.
