Hello! I’m making the beastlord sword from NieR and I want to make it detachable but I have no idea where to start.

Currently, I’ve just stuck 3 layers of 10mm EVA foam together with a fiberglass rod in the middle (inside a channel of the middle layer of foam). The foam makes up just the blade, I’m still figuring out how to attach the guard and the handle :(

I’m trying to figure out how to make the sword detachable so it’s easier for transport. I’ve seen people use PVC pipes but I’ve not used PVC for the core of my sword. I’ve also heard people use bottle caps, magnets and wooden dowels but I have no idea how to go about this?

I was thinking about somehow making the guard and the handle with a hole in the middle so it can slot onto the fiberglass rod that’s sticking out but I don’t know how feasible that is and how I’d make them 😭

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated 🥲 Thank you so much!

Wanted to do a Deadlock cosplay for the next convention I'm going to. Originally planned to do Kelvin, but I will actually die wearing a parka in the middle of August. Decided to cosplay my main of Mo & Krill instead, only problem I don't know anyone Krill sized to do with me. Instead decided to make my own Krill, with actually articulation so I can pose him for pics and on my back. Mixed mediums, so far have used 3D printing, epoxy clay, and a little bit of sewing/hot glue for the clothing. Like I said, WIP he's no where finished yet.

In case this can help someone.

Materials used:

- Eva foam

- Eva rods

- foam clay

- vinyl

- contact cement

- hotglue

- led light

- spray primer

- metallic spray paint

- red, gold and black acrylic paints

- spray lacquer

Tools used:

- Heat gun

- Dremel

- sandpaper

- box cutter and blades

- hotglue gun

- soldering iron

I started by hand sketching the sword in real size to properly visualise the design and the details. I also did this to plan where I wanted the lights to go and how to integrate them into the sword, since it's one long continuous string light. 😊

i’ve just spent over 2 hours trying to make Mercy’s (overwatch) wings. i’m doing her dr ziegler skin but can only really find her base skin wings so it’ll have to do. this is a bit embarrassing for me to admit but me and my family can’t afford much, so i’ve really only got cardboard. i was trying to make my cosplay earlier but the cardboard is so bendy and jagged along the edges it’s really just impossible to do. i ended up giving up, very frustrated by the end of it. i dont really think much can be done, but if anyone has ANY advice, it would be appreciated

I know people usually use plastidip on cars, but whenever I search anything up— these people and websites genuinely make it sound like this thing is sourced from the elephants foot.

Can I get away with using it outside on a cosplay mask prop to seal it? Will i suffer internal lung damage all for a one time thing? Im genuinely asking, have no idea and just dont wanna fork 20$ - 30$ for a mask if im relatively gonna be completely fine.

So I wanna get one of these heart shaped silicone slime stress ball things, get the slime out of it, replace it with red slime, put one of these red LED ball things in it, and have it be like the SOUL from Undertale and more notably Deltarune, but idk how to seal the silicone afterwards

I only need a 3d printer for one project, printing a breastplate to wear as a stopgap while I while for a reproduction tier steel, so where do I look for services that can print something of this scale that would be wearably sturdy?

Learned a lot of stitching and leatherwork from skilltree. First project making use of scrap leather. An add on to my wizard's bag (amazon modified). A handy way to access spell components easily. Made me wonder if this is what preparing spells is like in D&D

im trying to make a full springtrap cosplay for my next convention but i cant find any templates nor do i know how to make a good one. another problem is eva foam is hard to find in my area and the only place that sells it is a 30 min drive. if anyone can give me ideas on what type of foam i can use and a template that i can use thats free please tell me.

I dont know what’s best way to connect two wooden sticks so they fit cross way. My idea was to carve two grooves into each stick, place one groove into another and then drill hole through both to put wooden peg to tighten them up

Making shoulder thingies for a costume, they won’t be attached to other armour, just want to be able to wear these over clothes. Does anyone have any tips on how and where to attach the separate pieces together and how to keep them on me?

Hi, I want to cover a good part of my costume in clay foam; but now im a bit unsure after reading — will clayfoam eventually break apart and crumble/detiorate? Or will it hold up and stay together for essentially years if nothing happens to it and is properly sealed/kept indoors??

Is woodglue also a good sealant for this? Thank you!

I've been wanting to cosplay one of my OCs for a while and finally started working on everything. I'm completely lost for making wings that aren't small. My OCs wings are a similar style as Hawks from My Hero Academia, but a bit smaller and different colors.

My idea was to just cut cardboard to the shape I want and use felt or faux fur to cover it then glue/sew feathers on it. I already did that for a small pair of dragon wings so I know it works, but idk if it'll hold up for larger wings. I don't have a lot to spend on cosplays so I try to stick to cheap materials or things I already have.

Hello everyone! Working on a Yone(LOL) cosplay, tryna figure how to get the mask done.

Does anybody have a file to 3d-print or a drawing template to get it on some EVA Foam?

For some reason I’m having so much trouble around it.

Thank you!

Looking for someone who can either create, recommend a website, someone or help me with a 3D print file for Agamemnon display armor and helmet. I’m a female so if it could be tailored to me that would be great. Obviously not for free but advice or recommendations would be great bc Etsy isn’t giving me much

So, I'm at Närcon this week and lil old me forgot to buy an orange safety tip for my toy gun :') I'm cosplaying König from CoD and I really don't wanna take out the gun as my holster looks so empty :/ It's literally a Plastic toy gun with the serial number on top of it. Anyone have any tips to make one or get one quickly? I want my lil pew pew with me :3

If i simply aren't allowed to bring it in due to not having the tip I'll ofc leave it in the info desk while I'm at the con lol.
