3D Comlink Model
Published: February 28, 2026
Video Description
Step inside the world of Star Wars: The Last Jedi as I recreate the Resistance Comlink used by Finn and Poe Dameron from start to finish. In this build, I break down the entire process—from 3D modeling using visual dictionary references to dialing in a screen-accurate final prop. You’ll see how I overcome the challenges of resin 3D printing a small, highly detailed piece, along with step-by-step painting techniques to replicate realistic metal finishes, a convincing faux leather grip, and pro-level weathering. Whether you're into Star Wars props, cosplay builds, or DIY filmmaking, this tutorial is packed with practical tips to help you level up your prop-making skills.
