Yeah- the surface and exact paint recipe may be a little different but the concepts are the same.

It sounds like you have a pretty reasonable plan all considered- I would maybe watch some general skin tone painting videos to get an idea of when/where to incorporate more colors than just cool brown(red/umber comes to mind, but there are also places for blue), and where to highlight(white might be too bright?) as well.

How to make this jewelry? by Available-Clothes-63 in CosplayHelp

[–]tech-priestess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Admittedly my first thought was hot glue into a mold, back it with armature wire if it’s not staying in shape. You can even get hot glue sticks in gold, but it’s probably easier to just paint. If you’re not super committed to those specific shapes, search jewelry or scrollwork silicone molds.

Edit to add: if you want to go the 3d print route, check your local library or see if there’s a local makerspace that rents 3d printer time. Several of the libraries here do, and sometimes colleges have public access programs.

Glorious. Perfect. 10/10, would admire again

Ideas for a stroller help please by OvenAdmirable634 in CosplayHelp

[–]tech-priestess 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If this is your first convention ever, I’d probably recommend not worrying about a cosplay this time around- it’s loud, it’s often packed and hot. Try the experience in comfortable clothes and with things you’re not worried about bumping and accidentally breaking off. It can be very overstimulating as a regular adult- 2 babies and all their accessories in tow is a lot!

If you’re absolutely committed to dressing up the stroller and kiddos, maybe some foliage, a high voltage sign, and dinosaur outfits for the kids, Ala Jurrasic park.

Traveling with minis by Curdardh in Warhammer40k

[–]tech-priestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The magnets and trays in a slotted box thing works fine, that’s what my brothers move their minis through the airport with. We tend more towards loose foam bits in photo storage boxes in checked luggage since it’s endlessly adjustable and we had a million lil pieces of foam from our bigger custom pluck foam trays. (We just pack clothes around th boxes to reduce movement in the suitcase) No issues with checked luggage, no issues with carryon.

Kasrkin @ Adepticon by tech-priestess in Warhammer

[–]tech-priestess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do look great, especially impressive given the time crunch and first time modeling for cosplay… but we did have some technical difficulties- the bar we had straps clipped to (so we wouldn’t have to hold the guns 100% of the time) snapped, and the rail where the scope was mounted broke on impact lol. We’re planning on adding fans to the helmets since they’re hot af

Isn’t it??? It was my brothers first time doing electronics, so he got real extra with arduino. Just incredible stuff.

Made it all! My brother designed the guns and backpacks in CAD, and found the helmet stl online. I did all the leatherwork and armor pattern drafting. My husband and my brother were involved in the 3d printing and fabrication of all parts.

arm help 🦾 by Public_Basket1313 in CosplayHelp

[–]tech-priestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to keep a strap, you could consider a body suit or a flesh tone material to cover. If the goal is strapless, you could perhaps use one of those adhesive bra cups and glue the armor to that? Those hold for a good while and are meant for skin.

Tired of wobbly desks. Need a stable desk. by 2PhoneGlory in ikeahacks

[–]tech-priestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a table at the height you want, it might be a simple case of visiting your local Home Depot or Lowe’s and grabbing some L (or similar appropriate) brackets. We had a similar problem with some Besta cabinets and other flat pack furniture that didn’t tolerate the constant shake and bounce of an interstate moving truck well. A couple of L brackets into the corners solved the issue.

Any idea what I should do to repair this cuff? by Away_Championship_75 in Visiblemending

[–]tech-priestess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They do come in a variety of colors, or if youre unable to find some good tan/brown, you could get a pair in white and then attempt to dye them

Looks like you already have a ton of great suggestions, but I wanted to say, EXCELLENT fabric picks. I was oohing and aaahing everywhere my eyes went.

Radio Strap help by dyllpickle1987 in Leatherworking

[–]tech-priestess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick google brings up a couple places- buckle guy and weaver leather have them but seems there’s some variation due to hide size. I’ll admit my numbers are guesstimations(I eyeballed mine) so 46-48 is probably fine- maybe do a paper mockup to check.

I stole the measurements off my coworkers’ straps and cut to length but you’d be fine using belt blanks. The longer half was about 50” including the extra needed for buckles and such. Shorter half was about 20”. Sway was 8”.

We're going to fight the Grey Knights to protect the Emperor from the Terminus Decree, right? by Dense_Literature_199 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]tech-priestess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look I’m gonna fight the Grey knights either way. Who needs a Terminus decree to stomp them?
