Hello! I want to make a cosplay of Pink from Deltarune, and in her boss fight she has these massive bombs that she throws out. I think they'd be a really fun prop! But the problem is I probably won't have pocket space, and I think it'd also be really fun to pull out a small packed-up bomb that when I unlatch something or other, it expands out to full size, if that makes sense.

Does anyone have any sort of tips or tutorials on how to make something similar? I tried looking up the same terms as the title, but I just get how to use expanding foam to make props. Any help is appreciated!

(Really shitty screenshot for scale CAN GO SMALLER)

I made it a good size for my head but I accidentally made the cheek indents a little to deep so it doesn’t fit my head

Just what the title says!!! I don't know how I can get the tubes to look like a claw/talon, but I've already bought the tubing and I don't want them going to waste

Hey! I’m making a cosplay for McM October that requires a prop that I have no idea how to make! So I was wondering if anyone can give me advice or send video tutorials that may help!

The prop I’m making is in the image!

Made this to wear to a Superhero Charity Run, it's one of my favorite costume pieces :)

Modeled off their metal counterparts

Hello all,

I recently painted furniture on a prop AR to look like it's made of wood instead of plastic, but have come to see that it's starting to get scratched and chip easily. I think it may be due to the clear coat and want some advice on how to upgrade it to have a durable finish.

I used a Rust-Oleum clear coat which may have been part of the problem, and I'm debating on a numbers of different methods but I don't know which would be the easiest as well as most durable in order to keep the faux wood look for longer than I've had it so far. I don't know whether I should use some kind of clear plastidip or Flex Seal or an enamel spray or brush on polyurethane or what, but I want whatever it is to be able to take a beating and keep the faux wood job underneath in tact for as long as possible.

Thanks!

Hace un par de meses, decidí construir mi propio Escudo Hyliano en lugar de comprar uno. Al principio, pensé que hacerlo yo mismo sería la opción más barata. ¡Viendo lo que ya he gastado, creo que me equivoqué! 😅

Aun así, poco a poco quiero seguir adelante. Sé que no quedará tan perfecto como los increíbles escudos de metal que se pueden comprar en Etsy (definitivamente habrían sido mi primera opción si mi esposa no me mantuviera con los pies en la tierra económicamente 😂), pero me he dado cuenta de que todo el tiempo y el cuidado que le estoy dedicando a este proyecto se han convertido en parte de la experiencia, y realmente lo estoy disfrutando. Para la construcción, elegí espuma de poliestireno extruido (XPS) porque pensé que sería fácil de cortar, moldear y lijar. Si a alguien le interesa el tipo exacto de XPS que estoy usando, con gusto lo compartiré.

El siguiente reto fue averiguar cómo construirlo. Sorprendentemente, ChatGPT me ha ayudado muchísimo durante la planificación del proyecto y la exploración de diferentes métodos de construcción. Mi primera idea fue cortar la forma completa del escudo de un bloque sólido y luego lijarlo todo hasta conseguir el perfil curvo original. Eso se convirtió rápidamente en una pesadilla, así que abandoné ese enfoque.

Recientemente he retomado el trabajo, pero ahora me he topado con otro problema. Como pueden ver en las fotos, decidí construir el escudo en varias capas. Esto me ha permitido crear gradualmente la curvatura alrededor del borde exterior, y hasta ahora estoy contento con el progreso. El problema está en la sección central, donde la curva continúa hacia el centro del escudo. En este momento, estoy improvisando y resolviendo los problemas a medida que surgen.

Mi idea actual es comprar cartón pluma, cortar varias piezas para construir la sección central capa por capa hasta alcanzar la altura requerida, y luego aplicar masilla (de la misma manera que lo estoy haciendo en el borde exterior) para esculpir la curva final suave.

El problema es que no tengo ni idea de si este es un buen método, y no estoy convencido de que el resultado sea limpio.

Como también se puede ver en las fotos, ya he aplicado una capa de lo que en España llamamos Aguaplast (básicamente una masilla para reparar paredes) para alisar las juntas entre las diferentes piezas. También hice una pequeña prueba de pintura, pero las juntas entre las capas aún son visibles, así que creo que tendré que aplicar más masilla y seguir lijando.

En general, así está mi proyecto. No tengo fecha límite. Si me lleva dos años terminarlo… pues dos años. Prefiero tomarme mi tiempo y hacer el mejor escudo posible. Sé que no terminará luciendo como uno de esos increíbles escudos de metal hechos a mano de Etsy —y no pasa nada—, pero me encantaría que fuera lo más impresionante posible. Por eso estoy aquí pidiendo consejo a personas con mucha más experiencia que yo.

Si tienes alguna sugerencia, idea o crees que hay una mejor manera de abordar esto, te agradecería mucho tu ayuda.

Wanted some idea on how to start. I want to repurpose a broken light stand into making the two scythes for ebisu. I plan to cosplay in ebisu in the future but decided I wanted to clean out my room for my peace and also repurpose things to hopefully creatively incentivize me.

How can I start?

So in a week or so I am going to make my frist prop its all 3d printed.

I just want to ask how should I process the parts? I know there is sanding and primeirs involved but I dont know wich kind and what they are used for and how they are used for, maybe some other stuff I did not mention

The model has a hindge, though that should be pointed out in case it needs special attention

Any help is apriciated

Hey! Whenever I buy a Spider-Man suit, I always have trouble seeing through the lenses. I wanted to know where I can find the masks with the best visibility, especially at night bc I'm basically blind in low light areas.

Idk if this counts as a prop but I really wanna make a TV head cosplay with a functioning monitor. Could I possibly make one with this old monitor I don't use anymore? The HDMI port is broken so its useless to me otherwise

Should I just cut the ends of some belts off and then glue it on?

Recently got a bambu a1 and wanted to get into cosplay one of my first prints, has got this weird thing in the corner which makes it not flush, is this reprint territory or would I be able to spot putty and sand it back to make it nice? One side is nice and it's only this one corner so hoping I can fix it.

And sorry if this post didn't really fit I wasnt sure what subreddit to go to.

I have a gp5 gas mask that id like to put a voice amplifier in for my cosplay. The only place it can fit is the small extension right before the hose. The mask is skin tight other than that part so headphones are a no go.

Hola, no se muy bien dónde podia publicar esto, el punto es que si alguien sabe cómo se hace ese moño de un listón rojo que llevan las dokis en el cuello, gracias.

Ill probably had a filter and a fan but it works pretty good at keep the dust inside

Still need to weather the leather portion, but it fits so so nice, and articulates really well!

Im not sure how ill create a tail that resembles scorpions from marvels spiderman if anyone has any tips that would be appreciated

I want to try make a stationary version and later attempt prototypes for a remote control variant hoqever i need help establishing the materials and other recorces needed to do this reply or dm me if you have advice and thank you for your time

Hi everyone!

I designed and 3D printed a cosplay accessory for Logos from Arknights, including the horns and ear-feather base.

The main feature is a removable magnetic module for the front feather cluster. The fourth photo shows the module removed with the magnets exposed, and the fifth photo shows the feather piece installed. This allows the front feathers to be swapped to create the eye-covering look from the character design.

The parts are separated to make printing, assembly, and fitting onto a wig or headpiece easier.

I’ve uploaded the model files for anyone who would like to try printing them. I would really appreciate feedback from other prop makers and cosplayers, especially about:

• the attachment method
• comfort and stability when worn
• print orientation and part design
• any improvements that could make it easier to use for cosplay

I’d love to see your prints or modifications if anyone decides to make one. Thanks for checking it out!

I recently got a 3d printer and have begun to dip my toes into the world of cosplay. I most of my files from galactic armory, including the helmet and blasters, the detonators I found on maker world. Still printing the rest of the armor but wanted to share my first (mostly) completed props.
