Godzilla

Working on a giant Godzilla cosplay this is the progress - I repainted my old venom cosplay and added claws onto it. I installed a smoke machine and Aqua coloured LEDs into this helmet i got a while back and now just the legs and tail are missing. might install a soundbox too to make noise while I use the smoke machine All changes are reversible and I can retransform it into Venom btw :)

Fake beard

Hi guys! First post here. I'm working on a post Arcane Jayce. The problem is that my beard isn't bushy enough for that, i have only good enough moustache. Do You have any tips to make a good looking enough beard for that cosplay? I've saw some tutorial using make up but i don't really like the result. Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Recommendations for a small speaker that can be fitted into a cosplay gun

I'm trying to find a small recordable speaker for a cosplay project of mine that isn't like the clickable toy that is inserted into the plushies that are within the market. I'm looking for something that has a motherboard, wires, batteries or battery holders (like the things you see in toy nerf guns) and a button. Despite trying to find something that would fit my desires. I am unable to find it and would rather ask the experts (or maybe luckier individuals) into helping me find something that would fit my project.

Apologies for the formatting in advanced as it's my first post

How to stabilise sword

I’m making my first prop sword out of EVA foam, and the files I got tell me to use 4 stacks of 5mm EVA foam for the sword’s length. My only question is how to make the sword rigid. I know putting a dowel through the length of it will work, but I’m worried how that will affect the shape of it towards the end. Are there any other methods, or is a dowel the only real option. The sword will be just over a 1M long

I have no idea where to start

I'm going to my first ever Comic-Con in a few months and I want to make my own cosplay of a halo marine. How would I make the chestplate? What's a good base for the helmet? How should I paint it? I'm very new to this and I can't seem to make heads or tails of how I'm going to get everything right. Do you have any tips?

Primer for helmet in India

Hey guys, in a bit of an indecision pickle here.

I am looking for a primer for my Eva foam cosplay of the ncr rangers helmet but found out that recommended primers like plasti-Dip, flexbond and the likes are far too expensive in India due to import pricing.

Is there anyone here who could possibly suggest / aide me in finding the right primer for the same?

Question regrading liquids for bottle props

I'm looking to make some Nuka Cola bottles with fake cola liquid in them. I was going to make them with water and food coloring, but i'm unsure of the "shelf life" of this. Would this colored water eventually need to be changed? If I left it on a shelf for display purposes would it eventually go moldy over time? Etc...

what glue should I use for pic pipes?

i have a madoka magica bow prop for an upcoming con in early february, the prop is made out of pvc pipes that were cut into 3 pieces so it could be dismantled and then reassembled however i've found that due to this it can literally just fall apart which obviously isn't going to be ideal for when i'm at the con. i'd prefer to glue them all of the pvc pipes together so that it's gonna be sturdy for the con and for travelling in the car. any suggestions on what glue to use?

Has anyone had success using a safety harness to attach their armor?

I 3D printed my Mando armor, and am looking for a straight forward way to mount it. I like the idea of just using a safety harness and attaching snaps or clips to it and the armor.

Has anyone tried this? I can't seem to find any posts on this.

Thanks!

Any way to preserve my beard?

I grew my beard out to cosplay The Monarch from Venture Bros, but I want to do other characters and come back to him as I improve the outfit. Is there a way to preserve my beard as a wig?
