Start with references and a simple mockup that checks the shape, scale, and stress points before final material.

Choose materials by the job each part must do, then test connections and handling before the finish hides access.

Give the finished prop a stable home or a safe storage plan so it remains enjoyable after the workbench stage.

For choose a clear coat for a game prop, prioritize the choices that improve use, durability, and the main visual read. Save optional upgrades for a later version.
