The latest edition of Adam Savage’s One Day Builds on Tested goes to Middle-earth. He teams up with Bill Doran of Punished Props to make a Ringwraith, a.k.a. Nazgul, gauntlet from foam in a single day. Savage already has a gauntlet made from real steel, but that’s not necessarily practical for every cosplayer, so Doran used the gauntlet as a reference and came up with a foam take on the complex armor component.
Watch the below video to see how Bill from Punished Props finishes painting the gauntlet.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
