How to Make EVA Foam Flowers Perfect for Crafts Props and Cosplay with Free Templates
welcome to the shop steve here at sks props and today i’m going to show you how to make some simple foam flowers for your craft and cosplay projects now i’ve made these flower templates available for you to download there is a smaller one and a larger one on there depending on your application or you can go into your pdf viewer and change the scale to whatever size you need to fabricate our flowers we’re going to be using a roll of two millimeter hd foam which is going to give us a good thickness to bulk them up but still be easy to manipulate you’ll notice a small dot in the middle of each flower template that’s actually a guide to use a straight pin to push through the two millimeter foam into the surface that’ll keep your flower template from moving around go ahead and cut out your templates and then transfer those directly onto the two millimeter hd foam using a ballpoint pen or pencil depending on the size of the flower you plan on creating i’d recommend to cut out two to three of each pattern after all your flower petals are cut out go ahead and transfer the leaf templates to the two millimeter foam and cut those out as well once we have our templates cut out we can start manipulating the flower petals and we’re going to do that using our heat gun now a heat gun can do some really cool things to foam you can lightly score it with a blade add some heat and the foam will open up which will give you some really cool intricate details now one thing to note is that you do not want to add too much heat or too close because you can burn or melt the foam you’ll notice especially on two millimeters that it takes heat very quickly and it will start to curl this is the perfect time for you to start manipulating the petals it will cool quickly so work fast and always remember when we’re applying heat to our foam we’re doing it in a well ventilated area and we’re always wearing our respirator now when it comes to heating the foam a trick that i like to do is to take a square of granite tape a piece of 10 millimeter hd foam to it and then using a straight pin secure my phone that i’m heating directly to the 10 millimeter foam that way when i’m using the heat gun it’s not blowing the thinner pieces all over the place go ahead and heat up your two millimeter hd foam and then use your hands to give all the pedals a slight curve after the petals have cooled go back with your blade and slice a little bit further down the score lines that we had previously made once all the flowers have been cut go ahead and apply more heat what this will do is start to separate the petals individually while retaining the curve from the initial heat treatment and you can now see how all the layers are going to go together to make a single flower to paint our flowers i’m going to be using utrecht brand heavy body brilliant blue and i’ll be applying the paint using a half inch flat brush this type of a paint is an opaque so it covers really well i don’t need to add any additional water to it to move it around because i want the highest pigment count possible once all the flower petals are painted i leave them to dry i want the flower petal edges to have an extra little bit of color so i’m going to break out my airbrush and use some createx iridescent red and of course you could apply any type of acrylic paints onto this by hand as well once all the flower petals have been airbrushed we’re going to use our sherbonne high temp hot glue gun to start assembling all the layers now the trick when assembling the layers is that i’m slightly rotating each one so the petals overlap also i’m not applying too much hot glue you want just enough for the layers to stick but not so much that when you push them together hot glue would squeeze out then it’s just repeating these steps again and again from the small petals to the large petals until you have your completed flower for our next flower design i’m actually going to be scoring these on the back side of the templates from the middle to the point of the petal all these petals are actually going to fold in on themselves somewhat like a rose go ahead and do the same heat treatment to these petals as we did for the first flower for this flower i’ll be using the utrecht brand cadmium free red medium i’m hot gluing a small half jewel into the first petal assembly because it’s still open a little bit at the top you could close this completely this is where having a detail tip on the sherbonne hot glue gun really comes in handy just like our first flower i’m assembling all the layers from small to large being sure to give them a random appearance now once all the pedals were fully assembled i went back with the heat gun and reheated some of the larger petals and bent them over to give it a more organic look and as a final highlight i’m going to use the createx pearlized airbrush paint your flowers could be done at this point but if you want you can go ahead and add the leaf patterns as well and i’m going to detail these by scoring them down the middle and then from the middle to the sides just like the petals we’re going to add some heat to these leaves and it’s going to allow the score marks to open up and give it some more detail to paint the leaves i’m going to once again go to the utrecht brand of acrylics this time using brilliant green the thing to note here is not only to get paint all over the surface but down into each one of the score lines that we’ve made just a little bit of high temp hot glue will keep these leaves in place because i had airbrushed the petals the leaves were looking a little too stark so i went back with some iridescent red and airbrushed the leaves there are all kinds of applications you could do with these foam flowers you could add them to your props or costumes make a crafty bouquet or simply just add a hair clip so you guys can see the steps it takes to put together my templates to create some basic foam flowers for your crafts and cosplay now again these are made out of my two millimeter hd foam that you can find over at blick art materials as well as a wide selection of other fine art products like the brushes and paints used in this video now if you guys are making any of these projects be sure to tag blick and myself online because we love seeing your progress hopefully you guys enjoy this video and learn something from it and until next time thanks for stopping by you.

Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Collection
Hey guys what is up welcome to my channel so far today is video I’m going up to do a first impressions of the items that I picked up from the rare of beauty stay vulnerable so if you want to see my thoughts on them then just keep watching a guy is it in your hair my name is Morgan I am a pirouette acknowledge Enthusiast I just spoke knowing anything and everything about all the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys and I did want to pick up one of each of the new formulas from the rare Beauty at Stabler about lying or so she came out with create new products now each of the products or formula five different shapes of the five Shades all works and I picked up nearly neutral and I meant to pick up nearly neutral in the lip gloss but I accidentally picked up nearly mobs nearly miles from the other two are nearly neutral but just so you can get an idea of the colors are is nearly apricot nearly neutral nearly Rose nearly mom and then nearly very very neutral going to be a Warm Neutral beige so in the line there’s the liquid eyeshadow then there is the melting blush and then there is the glossy lip balm and they come in the normal kind of packaging that the other items came in so everything on my face right now is rare Beauty with the exception of my cream bronzer and I set my under eyes a little bit with powder but other than that we’re good to go I’m going to get started with the eyeshadow so let’s take a closer look at this so this is the state of honorable liquid eyeshadow this is $20 and it has that packaging like the lipsticks that she actually had where it’s flat so we can lay like this which for products and honestly makes it a lot easier has a very cute light pink packaging and you get three of product and it is made in Italy $20 and in this is described as a weightless a liquid to powder eyeshadow that blends seamlessly for a quick notable wash a long-lasting waterproof crease resistant color so I don’t have any powder on my eyelids I have a little my lower lash line but I only have just a touch of concealer that was left over from my sponge was tried out I’m going to do when I at a time probably chosen a course of action to previous year is a Swatch of nearly in your shorts seems a little bit Rosie to me all right let’s try around I’m just going to do this I first I’m not a big fan of Matt what eyeshadows rather use a powder okay let’s see if we can blend out with a finger nice easy light wash and it doesn’t look patchy which is nice when we put on a second coat and see what happens can I take a blending brush I might have had a little bit of powder on my brush after this is actually a very easily manipulated which is really good pretty color know actually what I like about this is not too much product comes out on the Delta flight normally with products like this I find that sometimes you actually have to kind of wipe off the applicator but for this one I does a really good job of the limit the amount of product are getting on the applicator so let me go try it on the other eye let me try it immediately using a crease brush and you’re really works well with a finger and with a brush which is really nice for whatever course of action you choose to take and the product has seemed to set down like powder or let me come a little closer to notice a touch of the products sinking into the creases of my I am going to blend it out and see how it wears as time goes on sorry I’m working out in the middle of summer although it’s definitely a very very easy product to apply it dries down like as you can see I actually I really like this I do not prefer a liquid eyeshadow but as far as what I can tell right now I have nothing bad to say about it I did see Morgan here after filming this review I actually discovered a really cool trick I mean it’s not that revolutionary but a pretty cool trick about the liquid Shadow I posted about it on my Instagram and I shared these stories with you guys but I want to share on this video to so that you can see how much more versatile than liquid Shadow is compared to the other products while I do like the two other products which I know I’m getting ahead of myself but I do like the other two products but this product really is so much more versatile than the other two so just take a look cuz you can use it for your cheeks for your lips and for your eyes I just realized it’s such a versatile formulas that was all over my eyes you can take some of it for soft matte liquid lip a little bit as blush this is the BK Beauty 106 I forgot to do it as a blush you’re going to need to work really really fast One Cheek at a time but this product is extremely versatile you guys so try then liquid eyeshadow here is a closer look at I just wanted to show you what I discovered it and now we’re going to move on to the product that I was at most excited about this is be a stable neurable melt peanut butter blush and this guy is $21 I’ll be as far as a Cayenne price are pretty good priced how cute is this this is just adorable and now this is 5 grams of product made in Italy 12-month shelf life in here is what nearly neutral looks like and I have to say this is really look like a rose tomato kind of like a balm formulate almost melts how it looks watch so you can see it’s a mistake proof liquid like it does feel like liquid Cream Blush that melts into a second skin for the most natural-looking wash of soft focus colored so you can see it’s not very pigmented it definitely goes on when it’s off by using the butt of my sponge that’s how I like to buy these products I mean it just blend in very very nicely and it does have a little bit of a natural Sheen to it really pretty I mean it’s very very natural and it’s very sure but it’s pretty mistake real thing it’s hard to apply too much so now I’m going to try it out it applies a well with a brush to I definitely think you’re going to have a SIM versatility as far as application as well but it’s very hard to apply too much of it if anything I feel like you probably need to pack it on a little bit like right now when she’s my brush because the brush is going at to give you a little bit more pigmentation to the sponge and I don’t know I actually I really liked it I think if you found her liquid blush has to be a little bit too hard to work with a little bit too much color this is a really a good direction to go because it’s a little bit more easy it’s a lot more share and if you don’t like share then you won’t like these but I do like the texture and consistency of this so I just wanted to make sure I updated you guys on where time with the blush especially because of where time on this is not very good the color on my face disappeared within like half an hour it was very very sure so I would recommend applying with a brush to / apply in the beginning so that way the colors there and probably resetting with a powder if you want that color to stay if you have a very fair skin tone or you just really like a super super light washed and you’ll like that but Chris Knight on me who likes plush I found the color disappear really really fast so I’m not a big fan of the wear time of this I do need to adjust application and said it would powder for me to be happy with it so I’m going to finish I’m going to use a some liquid highlighter wish you guys know I don’t really like but I might as well for the occasion and do my lashes and liner and then we’ll be back to try the lip product all right so I ended up going with just mascara I think with the style of makeup that looks really good so now we are going to get into it be glossy lip balm actually ordered nearly mob instead of nearly noon but I can see it’s pretty sure so I don’t think that that matters now this guy is $18 3.

GET RID OF THRIPS! | How to get rid of thrips?
Hi everybody, let’s talk about thrips. I think one of the worst things about thrips is that they’re very very tiny and because of this they’re very hard to spot.
00:16 - The adults are long and skinny and they’re usually black.
00:20 - And you can find them on top of the leaves or at the bottom of the leaves.
00:24 - Another thing about thrips is that the adults can actually fly.

The Drones Rising | Changing Conflicts with Modern Unmanned Air Power, UAV, UCAV, Reaper etc.
in recent times a lot of the hype has been placed on the role of drones in modern combat operations events in Saudi Arabia Syria and the Caucasus have prompted the observers to declare that a new type of air power has risen and it has shown its potential well if indeed it is their power it’s not new and the potential was well known so let’s start from the drone itself the lack of pilot replaced by remote guidance systems is a factor for cost reduction but not as much as it may seem removing the pilot is not going to make the drone cost a fraction of the equivalent piloted plane the cost reduction may be estimated between 10 and 50 percent the percentage depends from the incidence of the cockpit and all the system connecting with the pilot on the total of the aircraft on a fourth or fifth generation jet it is relatively small on the equivalent of a Super Tucano is much higher the cost of the drone actually is mainly driven by its capabilities projects like the Skyborg or the loyal wingmen will produce should they produce anything some sort of scaled-down high-performance jets a supersonic stability relaxed drone with systems similar to a piloted aircraft they will not be much cheaper since most of the cost elements are still there albeit smaller the cost will still be in the tenths of millions of value high enough to make the whole a treatable concept say relative short cost per flight hour will be lower than an equivalent manned aircraft but it will not be the decisive cost reduction being sold from some outlets if they do not replace man jets in some of their tasks they will actually increase the overall cost of their power additionally what is essential for our story is that these weapons will still be out of reach for many minor players that can’t afford more than a handful of legacy man jets however things change if we scale down one notch and we get into the realm of light attack light attack is the type of mission conducted by planes like the combat versions of jet trainers the AMX or some more modern turbo props specifically equipped for the mission like Super Tucano which is a reference for the category in this case and for this specific mission drones can be even more effective than a man platform at a lower cost while the American MQ-9 is still as expensive as a Super Tucan other manufacturers like Turkey Iran Russia and Israel today produce lighter platforms with light attack capability for less than half the price even if some critical components are often sourced abroad what has been seen at work in 2020 is light attack with precision weapons and there’s no point in the nine that this clash of weapons has scored some relevant successes however none of the capabilities demonstrated was unknown and unexpected and among the known and expected capability there wasn’t the ability to defend themselves effectively from any serious form of contrast what should be the ideal form of contrast we will see in a bit but these drones prove to be rather vulnerable anyway we are not over yet because if we scale down a notch again we enter the realm of tactical drones whose diffusion is steadily increasing commercial quadcopters have been in use in the Ukraine the United States Marines are building squads and platoons around small reconnaissance drones and military versions of civilian designs are actually proliferating this is something really unprecedented in ground operations we are approaching an era when the tactical commanders on the battlefield at platoon and company level may have an unprecedented situational awareness every platoon may literally have a daughter or small drones of various types not much different from civilian models that can be used to look around the corner or on the other side of the hill all for a relatively modest cost larger tactical drones like quadcopters can also carry small explosive devices or light automatic weapons and they can’t be used to apply force from an unexpected direction being hidden behind a wall may be no longer being hidden tactical drones are already having a huge impact on the tactics for example dispersion and camouflage are becoming more important even at tactical level quick movement may be another measure to reduce the opponent’s situational awareness in a few years we might end up in confrontation where light drones become the main asset for the infantry platoon or company commander because they will be able to apply the same volume of fire and provide the same level of intelligence as individual soldiers soldiers won’t go away they will be there to pilot the drones and definitely there are some tasks on the battlefield that can’t be mechanized defending from the unmanned version of a high performance jet requires assets not much different than those required for a manned one we are in the same category air-to-air missiles surface-to-air missiles the same jamming equipment already in use and this is obvious because these drones have similar performance and features as the manned aircraft the same performance and features the weapons i mentioned before are designed to counter critically the weapons are still less expensive overall than the targets and this makes the whole kill chain viable if you move down a notch like we did before we get in an era where the situation is not so clear-cut drones of the class of the reaper or a bit lower can still be attacked with classic air-to-air or surface-to-air weapons and indeed they are very vulnerable as we have already said the only protection is the relatively low radar signature due to their size and the possibility to introduce some basic stealth measure the engines either turboprop piston or jet tend to be relatively cold for the class so even the infrared signature is quite small they’re spotted though they have no real defense against a missile or a AAA system however maintaining a constant air superiority near the front line may be a taxing additional task and a dangerous one for conventional fighters particularly for the same minor players that are more likely to implement their air power on drones rather than planes in the same way the density of surface-to-air weapons or jammers required to fend off a coordinated drone force may be rather high and beyond reach of the same minor players this is the reason why we have seen so many successful drones operations in the last few years the opponent was missing the air-to-air or the surface-to-air capability required to shoot them down while the same capability will be there and given for granted in a clash among major players at this level the cost of the weapons that will be employed to defend from these drones is approaching the coast of the drones themselves making the whole proposition a bit more shaky Russia and China have been aware of this problem introducing systems actually designed with the contrast of drones in mind an example is the Pantsir the Pantsir is a short to medium range system that uses very cheap missiles and 30 millimeter auto cannons together with a radar that is tuned to detect even small drones without too many force positives in its performance it had highs and lows but the direction is the right one even the Chinese are introducing simple track vehicles with autocannons likely aimed to engage low flying drones the situation is even more intricate if we move down a notch again and we consider tactical drones these systems are difficult to engage because they are cheap enough to justify only basically light weapons or small caliber autocannon reactions but there are also small moving targets very difficult to hit with kinetic weapons if not assisted by a fire control system this situation produce anomalies like what happened in 2017 in southern Saudi Arabia when a Patriot missile what about 3 million was fired at a quadcopter it seems that the industry is actually tending toward light jammers that could be mounted on a light wheeled vehicle to counter the tactical drone menace but these systems are still few and relatively young however jammers are important because the drone communication channels are one of their main vulnerabilities from this point of view jammers are only going to proliferate and one country that is already ahead in the race is Russia and because they already have a system that is considered to be quite effective drummers also have an advantage against one feature of drones that has not been really demonstrated yet but it could be an important improvement in the future swarming is the possibility to use a large number of small and inexpensive drones in a cooperative way that is the drones communicate with each other and optimize their action to reach the objective the algorithms and the mathematics behind the concept are really solid and the implementation is just a matter of time the operator in this case won’t control the single drone but the entire swarm it is not clear yet what the potential of swarming is but there are some use cases that do show why there are several researches ongoing for example to attack a Pantsir system like the one we mentioned before a swarm of 15 or 20 small drones could be used each carrying the equivalent of a hand grenade or a RPG warhead each drone coordinated with the others to attack from around the clock making very difficult for a computer to establish the priority of the targets to engage another example would be the same swarm attacking a group of vehicles and coordinating to be sure of hitting every vehicle no more than a couple of times avoiding overkills while at this point it seems that we are moving toward a dystopic science fiction film so maybe it is better if I stop here but if you

Plans for 2021. What conclusion did I draw in 5 years of creating 3d tutorials on Youtube?
Hello everyone! With you - Andrey Krivulya Charly And I have an important announcement about the changes on the channel and plans for 2021.
00:14 - In short, I decided to record only the hair and fur lessons.
00:18 - What does it mean? Do you see all these works? Is that so? I will tell you how absolutely from scratch - to create hair, wool, prepare a render, and upload to 3d stocks.
