/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Working on side skirts atm. Still need to add the insides of the vents on top. Once these are done I plan to start working on the lower legs.

The only parts I am panning to do in EVA for this costume are the feet, thighs, lower torso. Maybe the wings too since those will probably get bumped alot and I don't want them to break easily. Ive been using a dremel to be-level edges on the inside so it matches up well for sharp angles. I also dremeled channels on the inside for the foam to fold and bend along to make nice clean lines and folds. I used a heat gun to melt the top layer of the foam slightly so its not covered in bubbles and pock marks like untreated EVA tends to. A layer of spray-on black plastidip is what I used to seal it.

The rest of the costume is being made of PVC sheets ranging from 1mm-3mm.

I want to do vacuum forming at some point in the future to hopefully mass produce some costume parts and props but I don't have the space for such a setup at the moment.
