Good morning everyone, My name is DANNIEL, today is a cloudy and cool day and I really like it.... Again with you. to leave a mark more than what I like to do... in this case.

NCR VETERAN RANGER OXYGEN TANK
1 -Well, what I need for each prop is basically some element that is similar, so I took on the responsibility of looking for variants of what I needed.
I found these containers that I use for a clothing freshener, the brand is irrelevant... they are empty and they will serve me well due to their size, shape and so on...
2 - Well, once I removed the label, I completely disassembled the container looking for things that I needed... so here goes the disassembly and use of what I found useful.
3 - There's not much to explain here, I used the conduits from the container, joining them with a rod of liquid essence that I had left over and glued them to give continuity to a longer conduit...
4 - Once the Tanks were assembled, I set out to make the base where they are encapsulated...I looked for several models, so I made my own...on this occasion I used a plastic which I formed with pure heat and patience.
Once the tubes and the base where they are placed are presented. I started with some details such as the integration of a large nut made of plastic and with a hexagonal format.
This is where you think everything is over and the part that I like the most but that is the most work comes:
THE PAINTING OF THE PROP.
5 - We painted the base, dark gray... we will also give it details in black... to age it.
The tanks are painted and aged to achieve a homogeneous set... since the feeling is of a prop that was outdoors for a long time and the rust and the constant adjustments to make it work have led it to be what it is today.
6 - AND NOW THE DETAILS, those that are lost in cosplay in general, but are so nice to do.
Welds and details that are achieved with a little hot silicone and differentiate with a lighter color what we have done as welding... the remains that are splashed are also done with hot silicone. I made the metal patches with the same plastic material as the base.... only with a less rusty tone, implying that it is a later patch and that it has not yet corroded
details of material peeling due to rust
Marks and textures in plastic to simulate a metal prop with a long time suffering from inclement weather and radiation
ANNNNND VOIIIILAAAAAA
Finished one more prop, in this case my favorite character within the NCR Veteran Ranger franchise... Long live the NCR.
As I always say, I hope you enjoyed watching this process, as much as I enjoyed doing it....
Greetings from ARGENTINA!!!!!!
