Ah, yeah, it might be a tad shiny to some. I did go with casa because I like that little bit of shine with the scouts. Personal preference, I guess, since I can understand why some don't like it.

So for Lilith, because it's not a costume I care super deeply about, I decided to try reconstructing clothes from Goodwill. Meh. The taketop came out okay (originally an huge t-shirt), but the hoodie (which was originally XL, silly me) has major fit issues. Think I would have been better off making it from scratch, I'm not too great at this reconstructing stuff. Just redoing the pockets drove me insane. I'm planning on doing the stylized paint lines though, so that'll distract from a bad fit.

And hey, can't go wrong for $5 at Goodwill, eh?

You have to rescale the entire file.

2D Menu> Change Scale.

It's required that you own Pepakura Designer (as opposed to its free counterpart Pepakura Viewer) in order to do this, so you should acquire it. If you'll be doing a lot of pep work in the future it's worth the money, and allows a lot of customization. I hate wasting ink and it allows me to cram more pieces on one page so that alone is worth the $30 imo

[Anonymous No.6647803]

>>6647793
I have the designer, but how would you actually scale it? Like, do you have to do measurements irl? Do you have a tutorial you can link me to? (Please don't think I'm asking in a bitchy tone.)

Okay well there's this tutorial, which explains how to scale the armor using the character/your body ratios. Alternatively, you could just figure out how wide you want the thing and change the mm accordingly. I've worked with pep a lot, and tbh there's no concrete way of doing this. It's trial and error. Definitely try the link though

Something that always helped me scale stuff was to take photos of myself from front + side, with a ruler or standing against a wall with a regular grid on it- then overlay the 3D models and adjust, maybe re-orient to match the pdo models and spit out a custom Z-scale..

Lots can go wrong, it's not perfect, but generally it helped me.

Also, if you've got a pepakura piece with loads of detail, assemble the big basic stuff first, then you can hold it up and see where you're at on scale, before you waste time snipping 79897465899 flaps out.

[Mandark No.6648027]

>>6647954

To add to this if you can (or if you have the time) try testing scale with a standard definition file first to see if the scale is correct.

A bit much but I find I get extremely frustrated and mad at the time wasted when I build up a HD file and only to find out much later it won't fit.

More slow progress on GaoGaiGar this weekend. These parts (most of the costume actually) are all made from PVC plastic sheets ranging from 1mm to 3mm in thickness. One lower leg is pretty much complete except for the drill knee, last cleanup, paint and padding. The other just has to wait for the expoy to dry overnight and then final assembly tomorrow. The second leg will be easier to clean up since I learned a few ways to streamline the design during the construction of the first. With the second leg Ill have less gaps to fill and sand.

Tomorrow I plan to seal the thighs with plasti-dip and start making the mockup for the upper torso.

My design is based on different Wizard armor and Protoss armor. I tried to mix both and my goal is not to be a hot babe in a slutty armor, but to create an armor I also like and which looks good.

Do I? My FWB does have a bit of a bellybutton fetish, but its just my opinion really. I have mine visible so much just because I sweat like a whore in church here if I'm covered up, but theres a difference in having a small part of you on show and wearing a chainmail bikini. My Quistis outfit is one of my favourites simply for this reason, and i do like wearing shirts with the bottom few buttons undone casually too.

Theres no doubt the bellybutton is a sexual/beauty object in many forms of media anyway, and cosplay is no different.

in case you didn't know, corsets don't have to be made out of stiff leather to be stiff, that's what the boning is for.

I would seriously , scrap this and work with a more lenient pleather so it will drape right on your body instead of it making really ugly fat crinkles when you sew it together and then can't iron it.

1. If it's not stretch pleather it shouldn't be stretching.
2. If it's a corset you should be interfacing the fuck out of it so that point is moot.

[Anonymous No.6650803]

>>6650801
Okay thank you that's all I needed to know.

[Anonymous No.6650812]

>>6650784
One thing you should do is sew your boning to a heavy fabric that won't stretch and use that as an interlining (between the lining and shell of the garment) Then you can use whatever you find easiest to work with for the actual corset that will give you the right look without worrying about stretching.

The vinyl you've used is hard to get a nice finish on. You'd have to topstitch every seam open to get things to sit flat, but that is an option if you have the patience for it.

Finally, if some other anon has them and will post, there's some vintage bra/lingerie patterns that pop up here occasionally which might help you with the cup shaping. I lost the files in a harddrive crash unfortunately.

[Anonymous No.6650823]

Thanks again. I was worried it was too heavy since it wasn't curving right but now I know how to get a better finished product... It is really hard to work with.

I mean this as a compliment.

So for me it's offically been a year since I've been working with foam a medium. I've learned alot and decided I'd take on, or retake on rather a project that is near and dear to my heart.

The MK IV Iron Man. After learning how to properly scale and work with it better I'm going to be redoing most of the peices of the costume. I've started with the chest like I did last time and the difference already is great. I've also built the brace (Something that I did not build last time, and am kicking myself for now, as I see it's need.)

Built half the back last night but ran out of foam. It is also only taking me about a day or less (I got the chest and brace made in one day, as opposed to 3 or 4 last year.)

Ah nice! I've never used C4D but I know a couple people that love it.

And I figured, since bump is calculated based on the angle and intensity of lights in your scene. What file formats do CNC mills usually accept, OBJ, FBX, etc? Also tris or quads? I am struggling to find any info through google and there are so many little things to consider...

OBJ or STL, they just need a mesh. Tris/Quads, doesn't matter. C4D is nice because the install size is low, the tools are simple, the interface is exactly the same on osx and xp/win7.. and I have a portable version that's 112MB, so I can plug a stick anywhere and chug away on stuff.

I like automation- pushing pixels around is a lot more enjoyable than sitting, squinting, sanding.. but there are cases in which the old methods are very efficient. Best way to get access to a decent CNC is to either find a local hackerspace, technical school, or build one. If Mcor ever gets their stuff widely distributed, you're gonna see some seeeeeerious changes in how stuff gets made, but decent 3d printing for most people and projects is way too expensive.

Ah, I've actually scrapped this particular skirt and remade it, but for the hem I just used a zigzag stitch on my machine and went to town.

Back completed, well not really, still need to do some finishing and detail work. The brace, chest and back are all tac welded together to get an idea for fit.

Good news, it fits together pretty well, once I get the collar plates made and put on, I'll start sealing and paint.

Bad news. Even though it is bigger (in fact nearly too big for me) It does not want to fit on top of the ab section. It is currently gripping the my old, smaller crappy abs so tightly it can stand on its own. Not quite sure how to fix this so I get more room. I'm probably going to have to dremel out some space on the inside of the piece.

Doubly so as I'm making the abs again, as the ones shown barely fit me. I'm not fat and thats whats weird about this.

Yes you can. Corsets are all about layers and boning. You can use the thinest, silkiest bullshit for your outer shell if you face it with something sturdy like a twill or ideally coutil. Most of the corsets I have made have been: Outer shell (faced if needed), Outer & Inner strength layer (cavas or twill), lining (faced if needed)

I would venture to say using that thick upholstery stuff is going to make your corset harder to work with. It's probably going to end up fitting weird or bunching.

Skirt armor is pretty much ready for me to mount on the waist rigging. Just needs a few vents added to the front skirts a little more cleanup and then paint.

Lower legs have finally taken shape. Still waiting from some gap filling putty to dry then I will start cleaning up a few rough parts. I still need to attach a piece of a shin and calf armor to each leg and add the treads to the Drill Gao's on the back. I am still trying to come up with a way to do the drill knees that will look good in nice shiny metallic gold paint but wont be fragile or dangerous if someone bumps into them.

Thank you for the compliments ^^ Your stuff is impressive as well.

Sadly I wont be able to make Mega. Money is very tight for me right now and work is very busy.

Currently I'm just working on this costume with no real idea of where I will debut it. I'm trying to have it done by Mat though.

Your stuff looks great! Your camera does not.. unless maybe you happen to have an affinity for those 80s-porn misty filters.. nothing wrong with that, truly..

Can you share some more details or photos of those gauntlets? They look like maybe modified hockey gloves.. ? Got some friends doing spess mahreens that might can use the advisement

[TemjinTBW No.6655670]

>>6655651
Sorry, using my crappy cellphone. Ill pick up some AA's for my digital camera and take some better photos tomorrow.

Here is a clearer picture of the hands. They are just cheap grey gloves with rigid plastic parts added. They are less convincing than my Gundam costumes hands, but I wanted to leave the palms open so I could better hold GaoGaiGars hammer, which is a very large unwieldy weapon.

Some Candlehead progress. The skirt hasn't been ironed and it's missing a zipper, so it's currently staying on with a safety pin. And my wig and tights came in (the wig needs to be styled, I just trimmed the bangs a bit).

It's because the tank top's lower hem hits quite low on her body. Also some slight warping of her legs as well. Her body is fine, but the clothing proportions and slight fish eye makes her look 'odd'.

That is awesome, but like >>6662600 said, I don't envy you in painting. Really cool though.

So, this was a bit test for me in terms of a new painting method. New sealant, new primer, paint and clear coat.

Turned out pretty well though. I'm gonna wet sand it after the clear coat gets a few more days to cure with like 2000 grit.

The back piece is definatly not my best work, but it looks a hell of a lot better than my old piece.

I also need to find gold paint, strangly no one has the gold I've been using at all and all I can find is like either a pale gold or burnt sienna. I've seared like 10 different places yesterday, wtf.

Have you tried linking or tying something to connect the sides? I'm not an armor expert so I don't know if this is the real problem, but it seems like if you had something to hold the sides tighter it wouldn't sag.

make it a slight v-neck or use a piece of leather thong/strip to go into the top row and secure the ends to the edges of your arm straps

or you could try to use a contraction to take in some of the excess
