Bill Doran is a man who is living the dream. He lives in a house with a full workshop in his basement dedicated to his passion, and he has a wife who is not only supportive of his passion, but participates with the same measure of enthusiasm. She is his north star, and vice versa. And they live in a home filled with and funded by their shared passion. What I wouldn't give to live in a home with bookshelves filled my and my wife's combined life work. I cannot imagine a happier life.

It works great and so much easier to apply than CA but i'm just a hatchling compared to you guys.

And not that shooters are bad they are actually my favorite genre of games. But you have to admit they are oversaturated. Do a shooter thats... unique. May I suggest, Splatoon/Splatoon 2, PVZ Garden Warfare ETC. I would esspecially love if you did Splatoon Guns or Weapons, its my 2nd favorite game of all time. Anyways just felt like writing an entire paragraph to explain that I wanted you to make props for these games. Thank you if you consider or even just read this all the way through.

For us, we like the small textured pattern on floor mats. Or, to buy large, untextured rolls form an online store, like TnT Cosplay Supply. The rolls of foam with the big diamond patterns tend to be thinner, and the large diamonds tend to show through heat formed pieces, so we don't like to use those kinds of rolls.

@punishedprops7 жыл бұрын
Hello! I'm sure every maker has their own style of adhesive application. Try out what you have on scrap pieces and see what you like best. We like hot glue for its longer working time--we can wiggle a part into place. But, hot glue adds material and can squeeze out the edges, so we like contact cement and super glue for seams. Contact cement bonds instantly, so it's hard to beat that for forcing seams together.

We try to think about armor making like sewing. A tailor may make a complete mock-up of the outfit out of test fabric, then uses that as the template for the final garment. All that extra planning makes the costume come together much easier. We spend a lot of time off camera staring at reference images and making templates over, and over. Practice makes it easier, but still time consuming.
