I customize my containers for each Star Wars costume I build, so that they look more like something from that universe. This tutorial teaches a lot of tips and tricks I have discovered over the years, as well as some pitfalls to avoid, and some simple fixes for when paint issues arise. People have asked for a tutorial on these, and I put this together over a few months. It was  an hour and 45 minutes long, so I broke it up into four parts. This video is part 1.

Part 1: Introduction, example cases, choosing your case.

Part 2: Paint preparation, laying out greeblies and decals, and how to more permanently mount them. Video link:    • Customizing Costume Containers - Part...  

Part 3: Priming, painting, troubleshooting, and weathering. Video link:    • Customizing Costume Containers - Part...  

Part 4: Adding electronics, simple switch installed in a battery night light, basic circuits. Video link:    • Customizing Costume Containers - Part...  

About me: I am an enthusiastic ameteur prop builder, focused on Star Wars props. I am a member of both the Rebel Legion and 501s Legion costuming clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I post a lot of my builds and other costume content on my Instagram with the same username.   / oddviking  

For some of these videos, I was getting over a cold, so there is come congestion sound to my voice (apologies!).
