Today marks the release of the widely beloved and long-awaited remastered, “reignited” Spyro the Dragon game trilogy. To celebrate this, Bill and Paige from Punished Props turned a purple baseball cap into a Spyro the Dragon Hat.
Besides being a cute and fun project, the video serves as a crash course in many different prop-building techniques, from working with EVA foam to translating computer and hand-drawn designs into 3D objects, to using tinfoil and Duct tape as a sculpting material, and a lot more. The video also includes free downloadable templates for Spyro’s horns and “Mohawk.”
