Easy Foam Sword Tutorial | Taki - Soul Calibur 6

Learn with our books: www.kamuicosplay.com/books
Support us making videos: / kamuicosplay
Taki's swords from Soul Calibur 6 are the perfect example to show you how to build katanas, great swords, daggers and so much more out of simple EVA foam. It took me just one day to build them (and one more for Benni to paint) and it was super fun! All you need is some foam and a solid rod for the core. Let me know if you have more questions! But don't disturb me playing Monster Hunter!

EVERY SINGLE TIME I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING, KAMUI COMES IN CLUTCH AND MAKES A TUTORIAL!! THANK YOUUUU!! 😢😢😍😍😍

[@KamuiCosplay]

That's my superpower

[@-S.L.]

I very much agree with this.

[@rwiersema]

At the end I was expecting you to say: "but instead of asking me where my costume is, you should buy my books". :D

[@johnfitzwater903]

I will, which book is it, and how much.

[@StefyDutz]

I wish I would have her level of multitasking. Playing Monster Hunter whilst showering is next level.

[@andrei.gaming368]

Român cumva?

[@rebeccar6653]

Not too mention without getting the controller wet

[@angel89legna]

Stay strong Benny! She'll fall asleep...eventually...

[@KamuiCosplay]

Muhahaha

[@anarchyantz1564]

That's what she wants you to think to let your guard down........

[@Shino2912]

Maybe... maybe...

[@eden_v3133]

I'm screaming internally cause I would've needed this tutorial really badly about two weeks ago but I finished my first sword and sheeth JUST yesterday and with a bit of difficulty

[@Icanhasmovies]

Literally SAME, I just finished my sword this week hehe!

[@eden_v3133]

@@Icanhasmovies the struggle is real 😂

[@joshuawalker7054]

Sheef? Sheath. Sheef? SHEATH!

I literally read it while she was saying it

[@jellyandcream9471]

This is going on my list of "what i will to do someday, but no plan whatsoever." Great work, you're amazing! Buy her books edit: ah thank you so much! ILY!

[@sierraruiz4534]

Just in time for all the Demon Slayer cosplayers 😂 love your tutorials! Thanks for all the hard work you two do!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who watched this video for that exact reason

[@srmoran99]

Yessssss!!

🤤

[@corinnaschafer4203]

Have mercy on Benni, he does such amazing modeling!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Neverrrrrrrr

[@MarveliteLuck]

I was literally asking for this! I was also literally making a pattern for my first project which is Hawkeye's sword from Avengers: Endgame a few minutes ago!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Good luck!

[@andy-in-indy]

Please don't make Benni cry - he is a very nice guy. Also, at $5 for the download, that is a great price for your book!

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks! Not everybody can afford a printed copy so I thought why not?

[@BrilliantBenGaming]

Yassss! Mitsurugi from soul calibur was my favorite

[@michellechedore]

I'm taking this as a sign that I should make a foam sword for my cosplay lol

[@phillipchronister7035]

Excellent video and appreciate you taking the time to make them! Love how fun you make them!

[@curtmartini66]

Thanks for the new video. Keep them coming. Wow the detail in some of those small peices!! Amazing!

[@Satarcon84]

I'm actually worried about Benni...is he still alive? 😂

[@dav1dsm1th]

He's safe until he teaches Svetlana how to airbrush.

[@MantisFoxx2]

David Smith , bahahaha

[@MettaKirkoff]

Gee! Looks amazing! I love all your foam props, they all look beautiful and realistic.

[@Raven.flight]

You guys are so much fun. You are a serious SERIOUS highlight to my day. Thank you.

Thank you guys, you gave me an idea for my Genji katana. You are the best as always. More power to you 2 cosplay couple.

[@stormveil]

Sheath /ʃiːθ/ German doesn't have the θ sound - made with the tip of your tongue against your top teeth - so it's understandable. I gave up trying to learn German a long time ago. ^_^ Danke, Svetlana und Benni!

[@urjnlegend]

They came out really amazing, great video KKAAAAMMMUIIIIIII AND BENNNIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! YOU guys are a powerful team!

[@cagecluff7675]

Thank you for this tutorial! I'm in the middle of following this method to create a pair of elven daggers inspired by Tauriel from The Hobbit. Previously I watched your video on making a prop sword for Valkyrie and it helped me get started. Thank you for inspiring me to start creating my own props 😁❤️

[@rommelgrajales3731]

Totally gonna start creating Thanatos (Persona) sword. Thanks for the handy dandy tutorial!

[@Mister_Dollz]

This tutorial is so cool, and I'd love to see you do more weapons from the Soul Calibur series, like more of Taki’s weapons and maybe Sophitia’s too.

[@fionasabre]

Ganz ehrlich...die perfekte Waffe für LARP sogar😃 Danke für die Inspiration 😊

[@elliots8279]

Mit Alustab in der Mitte? Dein Ernst? Die Schwerter sind wirklich super geworden, aber ich denke für LARP sind sie nicht geeignet. Stell Dir vor im Eifer des Gefechts stürzt jemand blöd und plötzlich steckt der Alustab in der Brust...nicht gut.

[@fionasabre]

@@elliots8279 Stell die vor das passiert mit dem Glasfaserkernstab...hast genau den selben schmarrn🙄

[@elliots8279]

@@fionasabre Stimmt, aber es gibt durchaus Möglichkeiten das ganze relativ stabil und trotzdem stichsicher zu bauen, auch ohne klassischen Kernstab. 😉

I am the same with monster hunter... but watching your video inspired me to do cosplay again

[@VANTYCSolutions]

Amazing!!

Please make a room tour of your workshop! It's interesting to see how you equiped space for painting and sanding. Maybe you have some tips, about how to equip a place in a room, so I don't have dust everywhere?

I am so thankful for your tutorials. It’s actually getting me back in the mood to cosplay. What is the size of the rod you used for the swords?

[@marieetmanski6262]

Thank you so much for the tutorial.You are literally saving my life with them. Where do you have your material from though? Especially the foam :D

Stabby poky thing!!! You make it look so easy. I'll just stick to spray painting plastic swords and adding leather grips to them.

[@daisy2358able]

the ending rant really got to me LMAOO i cracked up because its so relatable except that for me its with botw

[@jellyandcream9471]

WHO DARED DISLIKED THE VIDEO? WHO WAS IT? Who did it?!

[@stanheras9118]

Do Ivy's sword next! Make it expand and retract on command!

[@FissionCreations]

Ver nice - from India

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

I suppose with the blades here having a metal rod in the core, it wouldn't be as much of a problem, but one thing I've fought with all the time with my foam work (and can't find a solution to where there can't be something rigid in them, like the scabbards here) is how to you heatseal and not have the foam warp out of shape in the process?

[@johnfitzwater903]

I love your cosplay shows. I especially liked the one where Benny 3d printed the parts for the bow, but I was unable to get the download and the price for the plands.if ther is anyway you could send the info on how to get it, I would really appreciate it. Your biggest fan John.

[@LeavesAbove]

Lol i like how she has a game controller in the shower at the end. Thats a mood

Ainda chego lá.

[@Sumblueguy41]

hey Svetlana & Benni, thanks for the helpful tutorial-based content you both put out. I want to ask whether you both to make a video testing breakdown on how viable are the Rapid Fill & Fine Finish products from Prop Monkey Studio, as it was advertised that it, with the additional application of Plastidip, can create a flexible armor sheen when combined with your metal-look replicating techniques with the airbrush.

[@lexmacaluso2005]

would you do a tutorial for a larp bow? the one with foam so to be able to use it to block attacks in a larp battle?

[@maskedfoxx7173]

It's okay, Kamui. I'm proud of you haha

[@KamuiCosplay]

Thanks! XD

[@chuckcottrill]

You need to use fiberglass instead of aluminum for core, and you need some padding on the ends (point and hilt), so that the rod will not poke through and injure someone...

[@anapineda7635]

do you have video in making bow and arrow with foam? specifically Ashe of Legue of Legends?
