Working on a Fire Emblem comission.

I'm making Mercenary Armor, so it's a small shield and some Greeves as well as the Brave Sword. I still have a shit ton of work to do with shaping, filling and sanding, but I am pretty happy with the way that everything is turning out so far, even though I am still a long ways away from being finished.

It's my first time working with Sintra, and I love the material so fucking much. It cuts just like MDF and sands like a dream!

It's like everything you could want in a contruction material. The stiffness of MDF, the lightness of foamboard, the malleability of EVA and Insulation/Urethane foam.

Is Sintra carve-able? Also does it come in 1" thickness and can I use a hole saw on it? And can it be coated in liquid plastic? How well does glue hold it together?

Anyway, managed to whip this out, and it's currently got crack shot drying to cover up the flaws made by sanding, should look nice and pretty soon, then back to handle installation.

>Is Sintra carve-able?
Far more so than Pink foam

>Also does it come in 1" thickness and can I use a hole saw on it?
It generally comes in 1/2'' to 1/4 '' sheets, but is easily stackable. And you can use virtually any tool on it.

>And can it be coated in liquid plastic?
No real need. It doesn't need to be sealed.

>How well does glue hold it together?
Very

A big problem with these insulation foam props is that you have to coat them, since the foam dissolves to a lot of diffeerent paints. That means it's hard to get a good, sharp edge, and sometimes the prop comes out looking chunky, if you know what I mean.

Sintra doesn't have those problems. Nowadays I rarely use insulation foam for anything but like massive props that need it.

Posted last time with costume pic, working on Eliza's weapon right now, from skullgirls. Needs some quick fix ups though, I also ended up accidentally gluing a piece of wood over the attachment piece for the rest of the staff, so there's that too.

See this is one of the occasions where I'd suggest using insulation foam.

>>8262780
>>8262930
Rather, you can just carve it with a x-acto knife. It cuts rather well. For clean cuts, a saw or dremel works nicely.

I'd recommend not snapping it. It messes up the structure and can lead to bends.

Do note that Sintra is substantially more expensive than pink foam or foam board, and somewhat harder to obtain.

However, you can actually create hollow props because of how stiff it is, so that actually saves a good deal of cost AND weight.

And I should thank you for convincing me to pick up SvtFoE.

I'm already spending a substantial amount of money working with foam, having to rebuy the liquid plastic is $50 in and of itself due to it's stupid shelf life. It may not be cheap or easy to find, but it might be a worthwhile investment if I spend the time to learn how to use it properly.

Why liquid plastic? If I ever work with insulation foam, I usually just coat it with acrylic paint or some thinned wood glue, or just use Gesso. $50 for liquid plastic feels like too much

Well, you can't exactly work with what you don't know, but I get what you mean. It's a common sentient with cosplayers, and why so many poor cosplays end up being made with paper clay and shit - because it's "all they know"

There's nothing wrong with using your skillset, but you should always try to expand it.

Then again, I haven't made a prop in almost a year, I guess I can't quite speak.

Thanks friend! Actually sewing this isn't too bad, I think a lot is going to come to the details and the tailoring.

For a pattern I used Simplicity 1361. Ignore the terrible fabric they used for their sample. I also want to note that I'm really short (only 5'2") so this pattern was a bit longer on me so I didn't need to really adjust the length for Gio. I'm not sure how tall you are but you might need to lengthen it a bit to match his shirt.

to give an idea of what you can do with sintra, these hand tomahawks were made out of sintra and wooden dowels. the blades we cut using a hand saw (the blade thickness is two 1/4" pieces of sintra glued together), the edges were tapered with a hand sanding block and, and all primed and painted. no coating required. this project took like three days to put together, from start to finish, and they are super lightweight and great for cons cause they don't break super easy but they ain't going to cut or hurt no body. sorry for the shitty photo tho

Why would you use apoxie sculpt on that? Simple wood, even a slab of sintra or plastic coated with bondo. Seems like a waste of apoxie.

Also, the working time is DEFINITELY not 3 hours. It starts to stiffen within 30 min. That said I love the stuff.

My only tools at the time were a hand saw, a hand sanding block, a pocket knife, some sculpting tools and a small hammer. it did feel like a bit of a waste, but at the time, i didn't have much time or resources to get it done. if i had to do it again, i would totally used the left over sintra to make the cuffs by heat wrapping straight strips around the handle and then glue that into place.

hmmm only a 30 minute working time? where are you from? maybe it's a humidity thing, cause it's pretty humid where i live. so that may be delaying the cure time but ya, it takes forever to dry for me.

That was my first time ever making bias tape, so I feel as though that's where my major problem lies. Most of the time when I apply it, my bus tape looks a lot better, I promise! But that is one thing I'm going to go back and redo sometime in the near future.
And the appliqué is done with heat and bond. I cut out my shape, applied fray check, did the heat and bond, and then did some tiny hand stitches along the border to make sure it would stay on.

[Anonymous No.8278292]

>>8278269

I might suggest using something under the apoxie sculpt to make it more durable. Usually with thin flat-ish items like that I've used craft foam and covered it in apoxie sculpt--it makes it a bit more impact resistant (it might crack, but it won't break in half, so you can repair it more easily). It's a little annoying to get the apoxie sculpt on it, but it works pretty well once you get going in my experience.

[MrFreeman !KsSAk/XATI No.8278310]

If I were going to go that route, I would just make the crown out of fun foam and not the apoxie sculpt.

[Anonymous No.8278313]

>>8278269
I suggest making it a flat 3 pointed crown instead of making it three dimensional. Much less likely to crack and much easier to attach to the rest of the build.

[Anonymous No.8278323]

>>8278310

Why? Using both gives you the benefits of both materials. The foam core makes the apoxie sculpt less brittle and prone to shattering and the apoxie sculpt surface gives the foam a hard, sandable surface that you can't really achieve as well by other means. I mean, you could do something similar with a piece of fabric or something to give it some additional strength, but foam's just a little easier to work with in my experience.

[Anonymous No.8278338]

>>8278327

I don't think it'd be significantly thicker than what you ended up with out of just apoxy sculpt (you wanna use the thinner craft foam, I mean, you could probably just use cardstock or anything like that too tbh). The idea is just to give it something more flexible on the inside to stick to so if it's stressed it doesn't break in half.

[MrFreeman !KsSAk/XATI No.8278347]

>>8278338
My problem with using a base is that if I need to sand further or something, I'm limited by the bulk of the base.

My real problem is I just need to NOT TOUCH THE DAMN THING UNTIL I'M READY TO PUT IT ON. I have no one to be angry at but myself...

[Anonymous No.8278350]

>>8278347
You sound so lazy.

[Anonymous No.8278390]

>>8278347

Well, with a core the apoxie sculpt can get pretty damn thin and still be useable. idk maybe it's a dumb idea for something that small, but that's been my preferred method for dealing with bigger 'flat' 3d items like that since I can't use shit like fiberglass or resin in my apartment.

You could probably even just press some fabric into it from the inside while it's still somewhat malleable (and then cover it over with a thin layer of apoxie sculpt) to get the same kind of scaffolding effect.

I used a newsboy hat pattern I found on google and just avoided the bill part. Basically it is 6 petal shaped pieces of fabric sewn together (I also lined it) in a circle. I then ran it through my gathering foot until it comfortably fit my head which also gives it the bubble shape. Lining it or at least interfacing it is important because otherwise it'll just flop too much.

I hand sewed a wig comb right into the front and then a big snap on the center to attach the bow. The bow is kinda heavy though so I'm definitely going to put more wig combs in.

Hope that helps!

[Anonymous No.8282303]

No, I'm just a fat fuck. And I compared it to her skin tone, it was similar, what's wrong with it?

[Anonymous No.8282365]

>>8282271
I like that you're making use of your body shape.

I'll give you some honest concrit:
The bodypaint looks uneven, practice a few times before the con and make sure to seal it, so it won't stain people/things/your clothes and wig and it also won't run if you sweat.

Remember to paint every part where she's supposed to have the whatever skin color she has ( I haven't seen the pilot episode, I assume you will need to paint neck/shoulders/hands too).

Wear your wig right, it seems to be pulled foward too much. Remember to check if the sides are aligned with your ears and style the wig. There are several good tutorials on youtube.
If you're scared of cutting way too much, cut it a little longer than you intend to and try it on. Then you can slowly shorten it or just wear it a little more to the back of your head (careful not to expose your roots)

Remember to do contouring and paint your eyebrows too ( if you need them painted). I know amethyst has a round face, but it will make you looks better in pics.
When you color your skin other shades and colors, there's the risk of looking like you lost the volumes and curves in your features.

[Anonymous No.8282380]

>>8282365

Yeah that was my first time putting it on, I was gonna buy another thing of it so I can practice some. I saw about contouring in a Homestuck tutorial, I'm probably gonna go out and get eyeshadow for it next week. How would you suggest I do my eyebrows? They're thick and dark, do they make white eyebrow pencils, or is there something I could use the same way?

And I got some gloves so I don't get paint everywhere, but they're too dark, my mom suggested fading them via sunlight, do you think that would be good? How long would that take? I have a little less than a month.(I tried, but that's the closest I could find to the right color).

[Anonymous No.8282436]

>>8282380
looking at the pic, her eyebrows seem to be thin. You could try that brow erasing/covering, totally or only partially before painting your skin. That way you can re-draw them to look more like amethyst's.
But it can me a little dangerous, since you may end up looking like a drag queen, so I'd recommend you test it at home.

About the gloves, there's a homestuck tutorial flying around that teaches how to make arm socks, it will definitely look much better and it's easier to find a better color or dye it.

Anon I hope that this doesn't sound weird but your body type is adorable! You have really nice legs and hips honestly. I'm not very familiar with the character but it looks like your skin paint might be a little too dark. If at all possible, try and get a lighter shade of purple and do a full test on half of your face before the con. You can also try to do some light contouring with a slightly darker purple (maybe eyeshadow?) just to give your face some more depth (skin paint likes to make faces look a bit flatter than they are sometimes)

Your cosplay looks adorable so far though and I'm sure that you won't look like shit! But yeah I'd recommend changing up that skin paint a bit so you can be an even more perfect Amethyst! Good luck anon!

Thank you! I'll test it out first to be safe. Also glue sounds intriguing for future projects...

Find out exactly what kind of glue is used, I don't want you to ruin a project by accident.

Finished sewing Link for the boyfriend and finished Zelda for me a long time ago. Sad to say that we might just buy the props due to lack of time and experience. I did use real leather for his pouches and belts though. That was a new challenge.

Good luck to everyone!

Getting close to being able to paint Shiroe's S2 staff, just maybe one more round of sanding before primer. Let me tell you, this prop has been a real learning experience for my dad and I… we're so worried it's just going to snap into pieces when we put it all together because the headpiece is so heavy.

I responded in the stupid questions thread to keep this one on-topic: >>8296032

>>8295952
This is beautifully styled.

>>8294305
I have heard of people cheating by sewing the pleats to keep them folded, but not sure how that's done. Maybe something to look into in case vinegar and glue methods don't work.

[Anonymous No.8296113]

Good taste

[Anonymous No.8296232]

>>8296048
It's as easy as pressing and pinning them down then running them through your machine with matching thread.

I'd go for the vinegar method first and see if that holds. If it doesn't sew down about am inch and a half and see how that works.

[Anonymous No.8296259]

>>8296048
>>8296232
Yeah I've sewn pleats down in the past, but I'm trying to be more screen accurate, also it would look bad with the trim. I haven't messed with the vingar yet, I'm about to start on the top of the uniform.
Sewing pleats is definitely an easy solution when working with a plainer skirt though.

[Anonymous No.8298715]

How do these hold up after wearing it at a con all day? Do they need to be touched up throughout the day or do they keep their style rather well? Your wig styling looks very nice, I just wonder if a breeze would fuck everything up.

[MrFreeman !KsSAk/XATI No.8298743]

It's starting to look a little more like a wand. The acrylic is being held against the foam with magnets for quick access to the inside.

The crown needs some more sanding work now that it's attached though.

[Norge No.8298762]

>>8298715
I use a ton of hairspray on all of my wigs so they usually stay fine. I went outside of katsucon on sunday with all the wind that was going on that day and the wig i had stayed completely the same.
Thank you!!

Vinegar/Water? I'm doing a Panty cosplay and my god damned pleats need help. The fabric is a Casa Special Occasion Satin. Will that ruin the fabric?

[Anonymous No.8299579]

>>8299186
Probably not. That's just a fabric that's not meant to hold a pleat though. If you're REALLY stuck, you can always sew the pleats underneath and put a thin strip of heatnbond in the fold of the outside pleats when you press.

This is my first ever cosplay that I'm working on. Helga from Hey Arnold. >//< I'm really nervous and its my first time sewing.

I finished the jumper but.. by the looks of it I need to take some of the wideness out of the bottom as it fits more as a dress I think..? I'm also thinking the length might be too long.. Since the belt is just above my tailbone.

The Fanime crunch is real. Thankfully all I really have to do now is finish the jacket lining, add more studs and snaps, work on Dante's Holster/Bra and finish the guns.

Sucks that I won't be able to build a sword for fanime, but that's just how it goes.

I suggest you paying attention to the paint, it's really messy. Cover it until the color is even and you don't see the strokes from the previous covers.

Also, attach/hide the wig adjuster
