Cosplay Advice?
Thread directed at people who are pro at cosplay creation.
Tl;Dr - I'm looking to make either this cannon: Or this bow: I'm looking to use it out of tinted Encapso K, tinted light blue to resemble this style of ice. However, I am not sure if I should make a mold, or use it as a coating over plastic or something? If anyone would know of a way to do this, let me know. My goal is to make it as realistic as possible. |

Re: Cosplay Advice?
Would be cool to use it as a coating over styrofoam

Re: Cosplay Advice?
The bow looks more interesting. The cannon is kind of dull and not intricate.

Re: Cosplay Advice?
Considering your cosplay is fairy tail related id say that this is a pretty bad idea

Re: Cosplay Advice?
a cheap and lightweight method I can think of is tracing the outline of the bow in 1:1 scale on a giant piece of cardboard then cutting it out. buy some insulation spray foam and spray the fuck out of the cardboard and let it harden. then slowly carving out the shape you need with a knife (because it's going to become a giant lumpy mess after the insulation spray foam). then possibly coating the final piece with encapso k to get your desired finishing, but that's probably the most expensive product out of everything.
the cannon on the other hand, I can't think of a straightforward way of forming it since it's cylindrical in shape. not a pro cosplayer in the slightest, but my gf makes cosplay for a hobby, and she uses insulation spray foam a lot for intricately shaped pieces that also need to be lightweight.
