A fun read while describing the techniques with clarity; along with excellent detailed accompanying photos. As the title says; "Props and Costume Armor"; so the methods and materials used were focused within that scope; though still discusses their application to other items somewhat. Since there are so many additional mold making materials and their variations available; if the author wrote a 2nd book covering a greater range of materials and their application to more commercial and industrial items; I would buy it in a microsecond.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Learning new skills doesnt get much more fun.By Ed.Not only is Shawn Thorrson a brilliant builder or "Maker"; hes a hilarious writer. I laughed with the text while learning some amazing skills.Ive dabbled in scratch building and mold making for years. I wish this book was available way back when. Oh well; we have it now.Brilliant!!!7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Informative and Entertaining! Great buy and great read!By Robert B StephensonI have been interested in prop making for as long as I can remember. While; it seems; most are interested being in front of the camera; Ive always had a fascination with everything that goes on behind the scenes. Ive done small projects; created molds; casts and some prototypes; Ive read books and other how-to guides; but Ive just really never got all the details Ive needed - and certainly not in one place (granted; Im sure I could have done a lot more research; but hey :)). I saw this book and pre-ordered it immediately and I just received it. Its great! The book is full of details; how-tos; and humor. Reading it has been entertaining as well as informative. While Ive not had a chance to start any of the projects or use any of the tips; I have a much better understanding of what and how I need to do things moving forward; and Ive had a good chuckle or two (or three; but whos counting).
