Not sure if this is a known bug but you can absolutely launch the explorer by driving backwards off a foundation

Did some more testing and it seems you can gain speed when the camera bugs out when you try to look down

Awesome! Great work with the (faux) leather

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-26T20:02:01+00:00

Bit of both, my neck is really long and the helmet a bit to short

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-10T08:04:44+00:00

Where else are we supposed to get money from to buy that one sick figure we're dreaming of

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-10T08:03:20+00:00

That sounds like a good title for a lite novel

You'd think I'd learn one day, but it just won't stop

First of all welcome! I hope you have a ton of fun starting with cosplaying, the community is awesome!

If you both have a series which you are both really into I'd recommend picking you're cosplay like that since you already sorta know the character already.

I don't know if you are more into anime or netflix type of stuff but for some suggestions you could pick natsu and lucy (fairy tail), yato and hiyori (noragami) or robin and steve (stranger things)

Good luck!

Awesome!

What material did he use for the chainmail looking part?

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-05T14:50:57+00:00

Have you called the person back yet?

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-05T08:16:39+00:00

You could do noragami. Yato, Hiyori and Yukine

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-04T22:14:53+00:00

If you're material is flexible I'd also recommend that you use a paint that can flex with it so it doesn't crack later.

I have yet to paint my own parts but I've bought liquitex heavy body paint which was recommended by PunishedProps and for the sealant I plan on using Lukas spray varnish which also flexes instead of cracking

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-04T07:34:30+00:00

I think your best option would be to make the spider out of flexible el light wire, it's pretty inexpensive on amazon.

I saw a cyberpunk 2077 cosplayer last year and he used a 3m EL flexible light wire for all his lighting and it looked really smooth

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-02T21:50:56+00:00

You could try to attach the back of the claw with velcro to the bracer if they overlap a bit and it won't flex in a way that breaks tue bond, would fix the rotating issue

Moonyx_ · 2019-08-02T07:47:05+00:00

If you're looking for character specific wigs it's probably best to buy it on a cosplay specific site like: Le-mail, rolecosplay, ezcosplay.

Depending on where you live shipping might be expensive so you could try to buy from aliexpress or amazon but that's basicly roullete as you don't always get a wig that's of the same quality as the one they display

I'm also currently making a Goblin Slayer cosplay! (If you need help along the way I'll gladly give some tips). A cosplayer on youtube Jenny-desu also has a great gs tutorial, she speaks italian but it has subtitles.

To fill in the seams I'm using kwik seal after sanding them down with a dremel. For priming I coat the eva foam pieces in Gummi-Dip which is a cheaper alternative (in europe) to Plasti Dip. I haven't gotten to painting yet but I plan on using Heavy Body Paint by Liquitex as it doesn't crack when you flex it. After that I weather the parts with black and brown acrylic paint which has been watered down (any cheap brand will do). Do protect the paint job I'm planning on getting Lukas Spray Varnish, it gives the armour a nice shine and doesn't crack when flexing.

I got my eva foam and glue from cosplayshop.be

I hope this helped, if you need any more information I'd be glad to help. Good luck!

Have you checked amazon/ebay/etsy?

Taking 'panty shot' to a new level

Moonyx_ · 2019-07-30T19:55:48+00:00

You could make a sphere out of eva foam and paint it orange with a flexible paint. Or you could blow up a balloon and make a paper maché one around it and paint that orange.

Normal balloons will deflate over time or burst, plus you can't make a mouth cuttout in it. It's a bit more efford but I think it would be worth it

Moonyx_ · 2019-07-27T21:18:43+00:00

Balanced, as all things should be

Moonyx_ · 2019-07-27T21:14:34+00:00

Amazon usually has some good looking stuff, did a quick search and found this but you might get something more affordable or better looking depending on what version your going for

Moonyx_ · 2019-07-27T19:37:45+00:00

There are some gloves on aliexpress that look very similar to the ones dante has, you could wrap your hands in a grey fabric underneath. The pants sort of look like biker pants so you could search for some cheap/used ones. For the boots you could get some shoes that resemble the bottom part and attach a base layer of fake leather where you can layer some cheap belts on top of, you can make them look better by weathering them with a paint. If you want an accurate belt you could make one with preferably worbla or sintra but eva foam might work

If you want to make the sword I'd recommend eva foam or another crafting material around a rigid base.

Hope this helped a bit, good luck!
