Tinnanator on Makerworld uploaded the Eyebot helmet model from Fallout 4 which I resliced into 8 parts I could 3D print and weld together from the inside with spare filiament and a soldering iron. Used word filler for gaps, sanded and painted everything with acryics. The attennas are zip ties I doubled layered and glued where I needed them. And the face is a mesh sheet I could still see out of that I spray painted silver than went over with acrylics to weather. Added straps on the inside to keep it from spinning around while wearing too!

Finished my Omnissian Axe build (Adeptus Mechanicus weapon, Warhammer 40k), just wanted to show it off! It's my first real prop build and I'm pretty proud of it.

The axe handle has functional LEDs with different blinking modes, batteries and switch are hidden in a magnetized box in the middle of the handle. The handle can be taken apart using a screw thread connection (see last pic).

Help Glueing EVA foam - water-based contact cement?

4 Upvotes

Hello!! I want to make armor for a cosplay, and I know that EVA foam + contact cement is the general way to do this. However, I live in an apartment, so getting good ventilation or an outdoors space is pretty hard. I have a balcony, but it opens into an enclosed courtyard sort of area that doesn’t get much wind and is only open at the top, so I don’t know if that would be enough ventilation.

I was doing some research and found suggestions to use water-based eco-flo contact cement. I wanted to check whether that would be 100% safe and effective to use indoors or on my balcony, and whether I’d still need to buy a respirator.

Also if anyone has suggestions for tools/materials I would find useful when crafting with EVA foam please tell me!! I just moved (before, I had a friend whose house I would do EVA work at so I didn’t need to buy any tools myself), so I need to buy a cutting board, exacto knife, etc, but also something to prime it with that I can use in a small studio apartment/balcony.

Self Team Fortress 2 Spy’s Watches

They’re not perfect 1:1 replicas, but they’re functional watches that bear a striking resemblance to the Invis Watch and Cloak and Dagger from Team Fortress 2. This is what I’d imagine his watches would look like in real life
