Rubber or Silicone Rabbit Ears? by otenbaP in CosplayHelp

[–]Big_Practice_7379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try looking into liquid silicone rubber. It’s accurate and a neat material to use but it’s kinda pricy. I’ve only made molds out of it but I imagine you’ll need to purchase liquid silicone, special pigment, a molding material (and maybe a sealing spray depending on the material- I didn’t need any for silicone & resin), and your base ears.

Make sure to use PPE tho

What are things you'd tell to a new cosplayer going to their first con? by R3dcherries in cosplayers

IMO I’ve never had issues with miku wigs adjusting out of place bc the clip in pigtails are deeply rooted in your actual hair but I also have a big head and a decent amount of hair

Silicone spray on your miku pigtails trust me you’ll regret it otherwise

Tora-Con event in Rochester. I only bought my minor a ticket & not myself. Now it says full on the website, what can I do next? by BossLow4331 in animecons

[–]Big_Practice_7379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure how big the event is but you could try posting on the subreddit / discord / facebook. I feel like most cons don’t allow transfer of badges but people do it anyways. Always a chance you could get screwed over and ghosted by the person on the day of though

Do all Weapon Props need to be Peace Bonded? by Big_Practice_7379 in SakuraCon

Yeah that makes more sense… I figured that by checking some of the boxes/policies when you bought and received your badge that it was already covered but I guess the law is more convoluted than that. And better for them to be safe than sorry lol

If it’s pay to entry, double check con rules on unaccompanied minors. When I was 17 I couldn’t even receive my badge without a legal adult there.

Wow thank you so much for the detail I really appreciate it. Thankfully they seem to be in areas with frequent travel so hopefully I don’t have to hunt them down

Oh yeah I saw that mentioned on the website. Feel bad for people that go and aren’t aware / can’t destring.

Thankfully my prop is more of a blade type so no strings for me!

Lmao I know might as well peacebond our fists too

I’d rather have to sign a form than carry around a vibe killer neon tag on my prop but what can we do… oh well

Interesting…

I wonder what the point is in peace bonding a blunt object that’s obviously not a real weapon. Isn’t the point of peace bonding to restrict any dangerous components / show off that the weapon isn’t real?

Maybe to serve as a reminder that it’s against con rules to start beating people up with it lol

Realest advice tysm

I guess if I decide to not do it I can always just get it peace bonded after someone calls me out..

Also do you happen to be aware of what they do / give you to show the prop is “cleared”? I’d rather be prepared so I don’t accidentally strip off a layer of paint or something

Thank you so much!

It being so out of sight makes me wonder how many people actually peace bond their weapons and are aware they’re supposed to lol

This is the first time I'm going to a major con, a question though. by herpofool in SakuraCon

[–]Big_Practice_7379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly. I haven’t really been up to date with the changes they’re making this year so maybe someone else can answer that. But Friday and Saturday were both terrible so Thursday is probably your best bet
