What's your favorite Worbla type? Brown, black, white, meshed, red?

[@stormt1000]

I've always used the brown worbla and have used the black a couple of times. I'd really like to try the white worbla for detail work.

[@PretzlCosplay]

The white Worbla is really nice! What I also like about it is that the light colour makes it easier to draw details on it before you are going to make them. With the black Worbla you always need white or metallic markers but with the white Worbla you can basicaly just use a pencil to make markings on it.

[@myu_wynn]

I use almost always Pearly (white) worbla ! But also regular one for bases =)

[@isabellabs9885]

I am delighted with your work, YOU ARE A GREAT ARTIST, everything you do is beautiful and how you explain it, I thank you very much for your videos, they are wonderful!!! ❤❤❤

[@BK-hq7tn]

It's nice to hear about them in order, and hear about what you learned along the way. Great teaching video.

[@TheQuarkStar]

The level of detail on the Princess Celestia breastplate is insane, all the ponies look so good!

[@stormt1000]

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to upload this video,learned a great deal. Your work is very beautiful and detailed. Looking forward to many more videos of your journey. Much love from the UK xx

[@PretzlCosplay]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!! I'm so happy you liked the video :) I was a bit unsure if I should make a video like this, because I was afraid it would maybe be boring and not easy to understand since I'm not a native English speaker :3

[@alabasterkros]

I'm a huge fan of your beautiful Craft. Each piece tells an incredible story and your eye for detail is intriguing. Tankcou for sharing. ✌❤NZ

[@PretzlCosplay]

Thank you so much! I really wanted to document all the stories behind the different breastplates :) So that's why I decided to make this video :D I'm happy that you like it :)

[@alabasterkros]

@@PretzlCosplay Indeed I did:) I would like look into receiving one of your books! As in a proper copy lol. I'm 29 but I'm tactile when it comes to reading.

[@PretzlCosplay]

@@alabasterkros ahh thank you so much!!! At this moment only the Worbla book "It's all in the details" is available as a hard copy :) I want to write more 🙀 But... time 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@enlightenedbeing492]

Thank you. so much! Your videos are great! I am going to make my very first breath plate this year for my medusa Halloween costume this year! Love it, thank you for all the links!!! Love ur work!❤

[@Intro2Love]

[@PretzlCosplay]

Thank you so much!

[@kuru-cosplay7279]

Thx for your Videos about worbla and Tutorials, i did my WoW Lich King Breastplate this week and its almost finished! Tahnk you sooo much :D

[@hiba]

ALL of those are SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@PretzlCosplay]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@duantorruellas716]

12:39 , this breastplate is amazing. I was looking for reference material for a painting I'm doing when I saw your work , really nice.

[@PretzlCosplay]

I'm so happy to hear that!

[@vanessaheller1131]

Which Lipstick do you use? It is a wondeful colour. I love your patterns and videos, trying one of your breastplates out of Foam this weekend. Wish me luck.

[@myu_wynn]

Thank you for sharing all of these ! My first worbla breastplate goes all around the body (on the back too) so it was pretty hard to work on the attachments x.x

[@PretzlCosplay]

Thank you! I'm so happy you like the video! Oh I know right?? Now I experienced that the 'bra strap' method is so much easier I keep doing it like that now :3

[@myu_wynn]

@@PretzlCosplay Actually it looks really better ! =D It'll inspire me for my next breastplates

[@myu_wynn]

@@PretzlCosplay Thanks a lot for the encouragements !! =D

[@moonbladed]

Uff, you‘re breastplates are all beautiful, you‘re so talented, love your cosplays! 🥰💞

[@PretzlCosplay]

Ahwww 🤗 Thank you so much!!!

[@crazisista06]

I love all your fur! As a curvy cosplayer you are def one of my cosplay idols. How are you attaching the fur? contact cement? Are they cut from a bolt or are they fur trims?

[@crazisista06]

I just heard you say hot glue, hot glue never works well for me, would you recommend contact cement or maybe I am not using enough glue?

[@chitrajones3619]

Hi, I love your channel. Can I ask you the best glue to use with Worbla and Styro foam please? I want to add jewels. I have been looking at two glues called B7000 and E6000, but it says it dissolves Styro foam. I would so appreciate advise? I am in the U.K. Thanks

[@moriamu]

I was so intrigued by this material. But it turns out that they are INSANELY EXPENSIVE in CNY. 😅😅😅

[@mirela1455]

Thanks a lot for your tips! I was wondering, does PVA primer make your breast plates last long? I have red that gesso is the way to go if you want to make your armor last years and years but yours still look amazing with primer on!

[@PretzlCosplay]

For me, it lasts very long. The first project I used it on was Celestia and that was in... 2016? And the breastplate still looks really nice. So I would say, yes! It works :)

[@Salmon.seraphim]

Can you add resin on top of Worbla or will it have a weird reaction?

[@PretzlCosplay]

Worbla is just plastic, so I don't think it will have a weird reaction. You could definitely try it! I also think it will stick very well to it. But, resin tends to get warmer when it is curing (maybe not all resins, I don't know) so it may reshape the Worbla a bit? However, it may not be enough heat to actually shape the Worbla... So I think the only way to find out is to try it :3

[@ladyjane5993]

Is it durable??

[@PretzlCosplay]

Yes! It's basically hard plastic :) Even my oldest Worbla projects which date from 2015 are still in amazing shape ^^

Wat beveel je aan voor kleinere cup
