oh my. That sounds like a lot of work. I would have no idea where to even start. X_x

I have two ideas #1. Buy this beautifull long blond wig from cossplaywigs (an E-bay store) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/wisher229/perfectwig.jpg - Its the perfect color and i know this that their wigs are high quality. -I would have to trim the sides a little bit but the length makes it a ...

I would like to know also, Ill look around and see what I can find. Ill keep an eye on this thread, i hope someone knows =P

like anything that isnt water based getting that stuff in your eyes would be bad, to be safe a good rule for this type of thing is one finger width above and below your eyelid and no closer. I think to get the best effect i would just but the stuff over the parts you want to look rigid ( sory if tha...

thanks Katasha! Thats good to hear =) I dont mind paying a little extra for something nice, and i think I will be getting the one from cosplaywigs now. But it is nice to see my options. Another question, does anyone know any good sites that have information about how to style/ care for wigs? I was S...

hello! This might be a tough one because it isnt the usual clean cut almost pretty scar you see in most animes. It almost looks more like a burn. Anyway I bought some of this for my boyfriend a while ago for his squall cosplay and its pretty neat stuff! its like a liquid you can brush on your skin a...

Hello, Im going to be buying my very first wig in a few weeks so i have been shoping around for the best wig and price. So far my first choice is from a seller on E-bay http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http://cgi.ebay.com%2F39-5-SUPER-LONG-BLONDE-straight-wig-SKIN-bangs-cosplay_W0QQitem...

thanks, its good to hear something back, even if it is somewhat negitave. I think im just going to have to suck it up and cut my real hair agian. >_<

I think they are actually horns not ears =P You might want to try making them out of Sculpey clay. I have seen people make demon horns that way and im sure you could just change the shape of them to get the right look. http://www.phobe.com/horns/ Also Crayola makes a light weaght fluffy clay that mi...

I'm looking for clip on bangs, so I don't have to cut my real hair again. So far I have found only a few good items, This is the most promising thing I have found http://www.wigdeals.com/product.php?xProd=39529&xSec=13 These may also work well http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_fy_lf_bangs.html Has anyon...

I am happy that I got some work done on this, I actually have spare time agian!

OK so im not sure if I can get any photos up, but i have finally goten some work done on this chest plate! - I got plaster strips and a bucket of vasaline and had a ( very close X__x) friend of mine make the mold of my chest and upper torso -after it hardened I cut it down a little bit and covered t...

Here it is, finally! Sorry for bein' late~ ;__; Part 1: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/8347/kimono16zd.jpg Part 2: http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/3835/kimono23uo.jpg Notes: ~This pattern is not historical correct, e.g. it has shoulder seams and no back seams, but it's so easy! ~ You can make ...

Are you still in need of something for a kimono? I made one tonight and I have the easiest solution the world has ever seen. ^_^ I found it on a german page, but I could easily re-write it in english and do some illustrations. It's even the perfect project for someone who has never sewn anything be...

Well, whether it's been heated or not, wonderflex has a faint fabric texture on one side, and a smooth glossy finish on the other side (which is the adhesive side). To get rid of WF's texture, most people (including me) just apply a few coats of Gesso. Just apply a coat, let it dry, sand it, and re...

Alright I will ^__^
After im done ill be glad to post pictures and tips so I can help others ( heh if everything works that is )

Thank you so much for the feed back Astillar! it was really a big help, and im definatly going to pour a positive mold from the origional, that was a good idea. Sounds like you have used wonderflex before would you have any tips on how to get it smooth? i have heard it has a slightly bumpy texture ...

hummm, anyone have anything to say?
... please?

I wanted to make a chest plate, a very figure fitting one, and was thinking about using wonderflex cast over a positive mold. Has anyone ever used this stuff before? Before i buy it i wanted to know it it would work for what im trying to make, there are a lot of fine details in it that are depressi...

Yes, there's a pretty easy pattern by Butterick. It has long, flowing sleeves. You can look it up here: http://www.mccall.com/ I should be in the 'costumes' section of the Butterick area. I've made the kid-size version, and it was very straightforward. The amount of material that you're moving arou...

Hi, I wanted to make a relatively simple kimono for a friend while I'm on winter break. I wanted to make Puu's kimono from samurai champloo ( I hope I spelled that right )
Anyway could anyone tell me were I could find a sewing pattern ? I have hear they exist but have yet to see one.
-thanks

Here are a couple of sites I've found helpful: http://www.bioweapons.com Bioweapons goes into a lot of detail about layermolding in fiberglass. However, it does not do much with pourmolding or the actual mold building process. http://www.digitalemerald.com/cosplay_armor_index.html Digital Emerald g...

umm hehe sorry the links are so long
there might have been a better way to have done that.
