You're an amazing genius. I never cease to be amazed by what you do.

Que trabalho lindo! Seu filho deve ter adorado. Estava a procura de um vídeo em como fazer uma fantasia de Buzz Lightyear e seu vídeo apareceu na pesquisa. Fiquei encantada 😍

[@EHCreative]

@@MrDorothy07 Thank you my friend. I appreciate the kind words.

[@Morganautumnmoore]

This is unbelievable!!

[@EHCreative]

Thanks!

[@annlimit3d]

This is absolutely amazing! My 2 year old son is obsessed with Buzz so I’m trying to make him a similar costume. I do have a few questions, is the chest piece opening at the back? Also, how were you able to make sure that the arm/leg pieces don’t roll around your son’s arm/legs?

[@EHCreative]

Yes the chest piece is opened in the back. The jet pack hides the opening. I used heavy duty metal snaps to secure the arm and leg pieces to the under suit. I found them on Amazon and Joann fabric.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@luqmanrashid1651]

any stitching involved in making this suit. my 6 y/o son keep asking for a buzz lightyear cosplay suit..and its driving nuts.

[@EHCreative]

The only sewing i did was the under suit. However, you could easily buy some white pajamas and not have to sew anything.

[@Chloe.Jean.]

Hello!! I’m trying to re-make this costume! Could you shed some advice on how you made the light molds? Thank you in advance for your time!

[@EHCreative]

I modeled the parts up in 3D CAD software. I then 3D printed them out. I made a mold using silicone (Smooth-on Mold Star 16 works well). Then cast the parts using a clear epoxy resin dyed with clear pigments. Alternately you could sculpt the buttons and mold them. Or make them from the semi transparent foam that you could light up from behind. For the main chest emblem i had planned to make it from resin but ended up printing out the emblem onto adhesive vinyl which worked well. Hope this helps.

[@FrozenPalm]

I’m trying to make my own too. I have no idea where to begin.

[@EHCreative]

It was huge project for me. Took much longer than I expected. Hopefully my video will help a bit to get you started. Good luck 👍🏻

[@HaroldEscobar]

Mi hijo me pide que le haga uno. Voy a intentarlo. Gracias.

[@juliosuarez956]

What kind of eva foam did u use size? Where purchased? Thanks! Looks amazing!!

[@EHCreative]

Thank you. I purchased the EVA foam or sometimes called cosplay foam from Amazon. I used various thicknesses from 1mm up to 10mm thick. The thickest was the workout mats which were close to 15mm.

[@MrPicka25]

Really love your work! Did you make your own patterns or did you buy the templates please?

[@EHCreative]

Thank you for the kind comment. I created the pattern templates myself to fit my son.

[@Justgotfit]

This is amazing! How many days did you do this? And what paint did you use for green and purple?

[@EHCreative]

Thank you! It took weeks to make. But i only had evening hours to work on it. The paint i used was just the cheap acrylic craft paints from hobby lobby.

[@HaroldEscobar]

Super bien. Gracias

[@sydneybartfield6947]

Worlds best dad

[@EHCreative]

Thank you kindly 😊

[@omegaglover]

Would it be possible to get a resource list including tools and materials?

[@emantalaat6946]

you are good father i hope god bless you and your family . may i know how long did it take .

[@EHCreative]

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. It took about two months of evenings as that was the only time I had free to work on it. Take care

[@hugowillise2372]

You have model this craft ?

[@asimazayani]

How do you put the backpack? Can u let me see? Please🥹

[@EHCreative]

I have the costume packed away. However, I just used industrial strength Velcro.

[@lovebird42]

Hi there. Amazing job. May I know what that machine is you’re using to sand down the foam? It looks like something a dentist uses. :) I assume sandpaper won’t work? Suggestions on what type of paint to purchase? Thank you.

[@EHCreative]

That’s a standard Dremel tool with a flexible extension with a sanding wheel. Regular sandpaper would take a long time. But yes you could probably use files and some 100 grit sandpaper. You want to coat the foam with plasti dip as a base sealer. Then you can use standard acrylic craft paints.

[@lovebird42]

@@EHCreative thank you so much for the quick reply.

[@bedithlozano5022]

Que materiales usas?

[@LindsHohman]

HOW!DID!YOU!DO!THAT!!!

[@maxlampo4106]

Lucky kid

[@AJMoreno44]

What kind of glue did you use?

[@EHCreative]

Barge cement. The only adhesive I know of that sticks the EVA foam together and stays flexible.

[@AJMoreno44]

@@EHCreative Thank you! Your work is awesome!

[@ErvinEspinozaOrtiz]

Cual es el nombre del material que usas?

[@EHCreative]

It is called EVA Foam. Thanks!

[@mireerd7368]

Podría dejar sus moldes

[@toddlease1348]

I don’t suppose you have the “schematics” for this so I could make it for my grandson?

[@victoriachance9121]

Hi, amazing costume! How did you do the black torso part?

[@EHCreative]

Thank you. It’s just half round EVA foam glued to the under suit. Painted with black plasti-dip spray. The process starts at 0:32.

[@asimazayani]

@@EHCreative where did u buy? im from malaysia

[@EHCreative]

@@asimazayani check sksprops online. I bought some of the EVA foam from them.

[@asimazayani]

@@EHCreative ooooo i see. one more thing, what the size? Hehe

[@EHCreative]

@@asimazayani I believe I used 3/4” wide but 1” would have worked fine.

[@davidescobar8591]

Hello amazing job what type of glue did you use

[@EHCreative]

Thank you, The glue is called Barge cement.

[@mateenkhoja6992]

How did you made the red button at 2:14?

[@EHCreative]

I first 3D printed the button, then made a mold, from which I cast the clear red button from.

[@mateenkhoja6992]

Ok

[@TEDDYHITMAKERZ]
