/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'd also like to ask how long you think his sword is, and if I should buy a 1 meter long bokuto and airbrush it or just make one from scratch.

>>705643
Is it also safe to airbrush a wetsuit into the appropriate base colour? Should I use a mesh filter infront of the spray to create a small honeycomb pattern?

>>705647
....is the vest for something else? Perhaps Booker Dewitt?

>>705653
>Booker Dewitt

>>705653
Yeah I cosplayed booker at Gamescom 2013.

I'm going to need to see those pictures. Been thinking about attempting Elizabeth's first outfit, and perhaps later a big sister.

Matte, off-white pleather may work. Are you using wonderfoam?

They're not pro-grade photos mind you but I had fun prancing around the con, lotta fat germans in the background.

I actually went on stage at the 2K booth and we got swag from bodohlands and a "the bureau" fedora.

>>705660
Did you make the clothing yourself? Everything looks really well done.

>>705671
Bought the pants, re-purposed the belts, and selected fabric and advised a tailor. The legwork on the waistcoat was done by an old local lady. Cost me 75€ for a custom tailored waistcoat.

Anyway I'm asking about the MGR cosplay! Most of it's gonna be foam and fake leather I guess with copper rivets slammed in.

How should I fasten it to the wetsuit? Glue? Stiching? Can I paint the suit? How should I attach the lil mechanical arm that holds the sheath to my lower back?

>>705677
You can paint the wetsuit but expect to get hot as hell in it after that.

>>705705
Any ideas on how I might cool myself? Next to excessive water drinking.

>>705709
I saw a guy on /cgl/ once who ended up using what amounted to water piping and a sort of radiator. He was doing a Big Daddy or some such though, so he had the room for batteries and shit.

>>705714
How do I even set that up.

>>705715
It is absolutely beyond me, I just play with saws, glue, and wood.
Just trying to give ideas.

>>705799
I have a vague idea on how I might buy tubes and run a spare liquid PC cooler through it.

I need ideas for the mask though, Sam has a headset on and I can hide electrical motors inside those to power the mask, anybody know a good method of making a mechanical system that allows the mask to slide down from the sides of my face to cover the front?

>>705931
You could re-work this to work with it.

But jetstream sams mask would be harder to make a legit version of since the nose part of the mask is hidden.

Nice, though his set up looks a bit shittier than my design. Though I gotta give him kudos for programming dat shit, I need someone to do that for me.

Looking for a pair of earmuffs now that go along the back of the head that I can pad up with foam and install the lil motors on with a small guide rail. So far I think I'll have to rig a regular hearing protector to go along the back, and rip out the sound proofing.

I also figured out I don't ACTUALLY have to coat everything in leather/vinyl and just y'know heatgun and paint it.
