"A lot of people say 'Just drag it behind a car,' but that would never work, because then it looks like it's just been dragged behind a car."
This man is a legend
Love this guy - took it to brown town. He's like the Bob Ross of costume distressing
Bob Ross is prolly why he said it the way he did. "It actually is Van Dyke Brown"
yeah he smiled a bit saying that, maybe expecting Norm to react
+kristian1115 For sure, he knew what he was doing.
JurassicCollectables hjunmj.
Does anyone know if he uses acrylic or oil painting? Maybe something else? Thanks a lot.
I've done a fair bit of weathering for props and costumes and it's always cool to see someone else's methods - thanks!
still can't get over Frank's grin everytime he gets to say "Frank from tested". Happy for ya m8
Yeah, I can see an inner rage building below the surface like pressurized magma in a volcano.
Why does Norm feel he has to touch EVERYTHING!? He DEFINITELY wasnt supposed to touch those pauldrons at 1:18 XD, the guy almost lost it lol
Okay now I'm replaying this moment over and over again
Yeah Doug! Great work as always!
Hi ted can you make a free shoulder pattern
Anybody else think of Bob Ross when he said Vandyke Brown?
I sure did And I immediatly looked in the comments for comment like yours:D
checked the comments just for this
God norm stop touching everything 😂😂😂
I love this 😍 Weathering is my favorite part of making costumes and I never get bored of watching it done.
U wana do mine lol
Do u have some tips, how I can weather my Black gambeson?
I love this format really enjoy how its almost like a guest star who just knows his shit and lays it down.
I love this series with the costumes, so much inspiration
This was GREAT. awesome job Tested!
frank is freaking awesome. i would love to see more of his work
Amazing video & amazingly talented artist!
oh my gaaaash, so cool, and norm you are getting a lot better in every video
When he said Van Dyke Brown then started to mumble about little layers I thought the ghost of Bob Ross took over him.
I am obsessed ...I love this channel
BINGE WORTHY
My gawd, I want to do this for a living!
this is nice since i am studying art and i plan to do something like this nice to learn some new techniques
this is my dream job I live weathering its the best part of making anything
Great timing for this vid. Just working on project and weathering a helmet just as I saw this vid pop up
Super cool and inspiring!
Good reference for weathering some Halloween props.
these are always fun
Norm has unfortunately always been a bit cringeworthy, but look at 1:17 where he grabs that man's pauldron and he literally says "hold it," and gets ignored...........
I love how much 'BTS' type stuff is being featured on Tested. I would love it if you guys started visiting more working prop/costume/model shops, places that are actively working on movies and TV shows. I realise their ability to show stuff they're working on might be constrained by studio embargoes etc, and they might not want to give away *all* their trade secrets, but I'd have thought that from Adam's background and contacts you guys would probably be able to get unprecedented access to quite a few places like that. There's probably a HUGE contingent of movie fans on CZcams clamouring for more behind-the-scenes info on their favourite movies etc, but I don't think there's anyone else on CZcams making that kind of content, so it'd be open season for a group like Tested.
Aha! Distressing fabric! Just what I needed for my current project!
i find for tattering up clothes and making en frayed, using a drill bit used for cutting out large circles in wood, and raking it across the area i want looking ragged.
Norm is the best interviewer...period!
This guy could produce excellent hobo attire.
Hobos and hobbits share the same wardrobe.
Agreed!
Damn elves... always think their better then everyone.
So can hobos
I'm not crafty at all, but man do I love these videos!
This is great! It's such an important element to costuming =)
For HONOR!
must be for that.. the Helm looks identical to the one sculpted for the Collector Edition
@@asuryan66 0
you gotta do some more videos with this guy.
Wood glue / mod podge also peals if you put it underneath acrylic
Amazing video! He also reminds me of Ben Kingsley
So many questions: is he using acrylics to airbrush/age the fabric? Oils? Inks? What grit sanding blocks? This is information that would be helpful to the audience...
super great work, even better than the real thing!
what is the dark block that he used for ripped the cloth?
cool!
There is an option to buy the costume?
I really want it !!
Even if the price is not cheap costume.
3:23 is that a gundam model i see in the background
This is my 2nd dream job of all time.
When are we going to get those patterns
when will we be able to see the patterns?
Okey that explains for the most parts the light color fabrics, but what to do with leather and black fabrics?
where did the guy at the beginning of the vid get that brain/skull shirt? I need to know.
Any idea what that blue fabric called? or where i can get it?
Great effects, film budgets are like 😯
What kind of paint you airbrush with?
Dat MG Sinanju Stein on the shelf!
ok speaking from someone who takes a lot of uniforms through dirt. dirt does stick if you are rough enough with it. i have shirts pants and jackets that have been washed multiple times and still have a brown tinge to them. aside from that the man is amazing!
That's a Nice Sinaju Stine Ver. KA in the background
i dig the sinanju stein in the back ground.
I would love to go to some sort of class taught by Doug.....
Anyone knows the watches he is wearing?
I need those costume
YEAH !
Cool
nesesito un tutorial de armadura de caballero de for honor en español o al menos subtitulado en español porfabor
Great warden costume
Could you just do a light tea soak to kind of brown up the white fabric ??
That's what I was thinking.
he wants to control the process. Using tea would probably be more evasive. And if he had to do it multiple times, i bet it would take longer.
Also he mentioned that he want to do the pweathering differently depending on colour and fabric.
I think it all boils down to control and paints provide a lot of it.
+gottimw I could agree with that .. I was just wondering for an over all grimy effect
it would take away all of the white, instead of leaving most of it with a more graded effect. a tea soak does work nicely for making modern paper seem like old parchment. shred and abrade the edges and make your own pirate maps and spell scrolls.
Where did Frank get that shirt?!
Is that a Sinanju Stein Ver. ka?
That's one good lookin' Speedmaster right there. The guy even knows his watches.
1:06 got some gunpla on the shelf there, hell yeah
I need help, how can I weather a BLACK gambeson?
ooh i want to see his nu gundam
Thanks
is that a white sazabi kit in the background? dope.
It's the Sinanju Stein, from Gundam Unicorn
+Fabio Nagumo Fuck ya it is my dudes!
ayy that's the sinanju stein ver ka. it's pretty cool stumbling upon other gundam/gunpla fans lol
Me: Just run around in the woods and then roll down a red-clay hill.
What I absolutely hate hate hate with ageing and weathering of armor is weathering just for the sake of it and where non is necessary or even possible.
Everytime I see an Iron Man armor in the movies for instance there are areas of the individual pieces that would never see any impact but the costume designers still felt the need to bruise it and chip it just to make it look cool. (not to speak of that Tony Stark would probably invent indestructible spray paint)
It takes me right out of the movie. Right out!

+mthlay15 Reported
what?
+meow meow is two words pls respect reported
+meow meow DEPORTED!
"we took it to brown town"
"He's a white knight"
I laughed so hard at that.
I read this right as he said it.
I spy a gundam model kit in the back...
sinanju stein ver ka my dude
I would love to see someone make Havel the Rock from Dark Souls armor
Can I do costume design in college? Can you get a degree or career from this?! Man I would love to do this especially if it's a war movie like wwii
Vandyke brown.
Rocking the bob ross brown.
What fabric is he using?
Norm: tactile sensation required, manipulatory appendages engaged
this guy can be the Bob Ross of weathering
Eyyyy sinanju stein hanging in the background
yeet
5:45 bob Ross would be proud
OOOOHHH I spy a Gundam in the background! Sinanju Stein. noice!
Doug with a speedmaster? Must be a lucrative business!
What do they mean by washing the helmet to help weather it?
I think they said "gouache", not "wash". Though, that word is tricky, and not used much outside of the fine arts world.
Delvina Okesene you are meant to make "paint washes" by watering out a dark colour of paint, "washing it" all over the helmet, so basicly just cover it with the thined out paint. Then you can remove it with a paper towel and the paint will only stay in creases and scratches, making them appear more three dimensional. They did not say gouarche, that's a whole different kind of paint that is not suitet for props. You should use acrylic paint for the majority, oil paint can be used for weathering and rub n buff is great for metalic shine. Hope that helped
gotta remember armor that's medieval was hand hammered, sharp crisp corners is fantasy and sci fi, most real armor looks rounded and uneven. only non combat ornamental royal armor was shiny and crisper for looks
This isn't supposed to be totally realistic, and as someone who loves arms and armor, i personally think it looks fairly believable
Sinaju Stein in the background! GUnpla for the win!
Is cosplay copyright I want to make costumes and monetize my video is that illegal someone please answer?
I just kept looking at the Sinanju Stein thinking BUILD ME!
MG sinanju stein ver ka behind him
Looks amazing, I dont thing i would have the patience to do all this :O though i not the biggest fan of some of the pieces they've shown as their isnt really any crisp edges, everything looks like its made of clay/playdoh, doesn't hold up in the closeups.
Would battle worn & aged gear have a crisp edge though?
+wwaxwork battle worn doesn't mean sanded to a round edge. I can beat a hammer against a piece of metal and give you a 100% guarantee there will at least be some sharp edges, ridges or lines. abuse doesn't magically mean there are no hard edges. I'm not trying to say it looks bad as it is, it's just that I would have liked some more definition just so it looks a bit less like something made of rubber/foam.
The inside info-- not bad.
Can you test this
why no look at the complete costume on someone?
Finnish Knight armor =D cool
They should make a movie about Doug starring Kevin Spacey
Holy crap! I thought this was Tommy Flanagan!!!!! when I heard the American accent my brain took a min to catch on. I was that sure.
First thing that caught my eye was that Sinanju Stein ver.Ka
ayy same
Yep, I totally spotted that - I want to see what Frank does with it ^_^
Modelmaking Guru oh hey nice seeing you here
Thanks! Followed Tested for ever ^_^
I want to see this guy weather something science fictiony
That would be awesome, I love seeing futuristic things with dirty/worn and real looks to them it just looks too damn interesting.
I want to know what they had to do for mad max fury road
