Fake Prop Screws Tutorial

 1. Now here is the Painful part... After all that hard work to make everything look so crisp, you are going to Scuff it up with your dremel to make battle damage. Boba Fett has seen some things so his suit is going to be damaged and dirty.

2. Paint everything the base colors such as forest green, silver, red, etc. (pic 1)

3. Around the "damaged" parts of the armor, you can take silver paint and paint around the edges to show some scuffing. (pic 2)

3. Apply a light water black paint solution to each piece of armor, gun, knife, etc and wipe off IMMEDIATELY. This should cause a dirty look. Repeat until satisfied.(pic 3)

4. Paint on your emblems (pic 4+5)

5. Glue elastic to the thigh pieces and the shoulder pieces. Then glue the thighs into the belt and then the shoulder into the chest piece. Glue elastic onto the knee pads so they can wrap around your knees as well. (pic 6)

6. Similar to how you attached the canisters onto the belt, you can attach the knife sheaths onto the thighs or even boots if you'd like.

7. Take your brown fabric, tater it up, make it dirty, and attach to the shoulder via clips

Step 13: FINISHED!!

 I'm using parchment paper for this because it makes it easier to remove your screws. Feel free to use whatever material you'd like. Now, take your glue gun and concentrate the glue into one single spot. Squeeze the trigger until the glue stops and you can release the nozzle from the blob.

Do your best to keep the shape round, but don't worry about "hot glue strings' between each blob. They'll clean up later. Now, just leave it there to cool down and harden into that shape.

Step 2: Make Your Indentions

 You can do these next steps interchangeably. However, I have found the easiest method is first to make your indentions.

When I first started this, I made my screw marks with my Xacto knife, but it's much easier to use an actual screwdriver. Press it into the center of each of your blobs.

I do mine in a cross like a Philipps head screw.

Step 3: Optional: Darken the Lines

 I have changed each set of screws a few times. One of the options is to darken the cut lines you just made.

Bend the side of your screw so that the cut opens up. Use a sharpie to draw inside each cut line. After you paint the whole screw, the screw drive lines will be slightly darker.

Step 4: Paint the Screws

 I am using Rustoleum Metallic spray paint that I already owned. This particular one is the glossier and glittery version of the same metallic variety. They should only need one even coat.

You can pull your screws off the paper either before or after painting them. It makes no difference.

Step 5: Glue Them On!
