My apologies if this is the wrong area to post this but I figured the cosplay community could have some good insights. I have this plastic clock that is supposed to look retro mid 20th century. I like the look but it looks way too clean. Any ideas on how to do some subtle weathering to make it more believable?

Hello! I'm reaching out because I need help tracking down a replica of a prop from my wife's favorite movie. I'm looking for the Amulet used by the main character in Teen Witch. l've reached out to a couple of different Etsy shops, but they're all sold out or not willing to take commission.

I gratefully accept any guidance or info that can help me out!

Thanks!

Hi there, Britbong here, setting myself up with a Resistance: Fall of Man cosplay and sourcing an M5A2 Folsom Carbine for it - as it's a fictional but 'realistic' firearm prop I'm a little uncertain about transporting it to and from cons on public transport. I have in my possession a valise/carry bag for replica rifles as part of my reenactment but that's typically by private vehicle: would transporting it in the carry bag via public transport be legal or would I need to seek another avenue of transit?

Example of prop in question

Hello everyone, i need help. Best material to create the suit?

Hello, almost 2 years ago I bought a casual Ganyu from Genshin Impact cosplay, no wig, just a jacket and horns. These horns didn't come with any headband or clips, and I think it's a bit too late to write to the shop now if that was on purpose or not lol. So I've been meaning to do it myself, but I want to hear what method would be best, headbands or hairclips. They're pretty light as they're made of foam. I've never worn a cosplay before so I have zero experience with this, hope someone can help!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know any templates or sevika's arm? Or any templates that resembles her pauldrons and shoulder pads? Planning to make her but I'm not that great with making round shoulder pads, so any help would be insanely appreciated!

Bonjours j'espere de tout coeur que vous allez pouvoir m'aider.

J'aimerais avoir un echangeur de voix pour mon cosplay de viktor de league of legends mais voici ce qui me rend la tache difficile:

Je ne suis pas capable de trouver comment faire pour creer l'effet de voix et comment transférer celui si sur un echangeur de voix alors quelqu'un peut maider avec lien de tuto ou conseille cela serait super apprecier et je vous remercie a l'avance !!!

So I'm planning to cosplay as Okarun (transformed version) from Dandadan!! I want to accessorise it even more to add that over the top look. I plan to place some red strip lights inside my costume for that red glow, and I'm kind of looking for something like aura. Please feel free to leave your opinions as it will help me a lot!!:)

I am creating a necromancer staff but I have this wild dream to add a shotgun pump/slide kinda thing on it so I can “reload” my shell-I mean spells. It’s about 2 inches in diameter and doesn’t need to load anything- I just want to be able to pump it, with a preference on something audible.

Any ideas?

I've been out of the cosplay realm for quite a while. I typically see that many recommend EVA foam. From my experience with helmets in the past, they tend to become really hard and solid.

Below is an image of Hiroshi Odokawa from Odd Taxi (Please go watch it if you haven't! It's probably not what you think, lol!)

I'm looking to make the head feel more...I dunno "walrussy" and flesh like. I want it to feel something like a living being, thick porous flesh basically. Or at least as close as possible while being manageable. I've seen people cover their FOAM heads with types of cloth, and in theory, that might work for the texture, but not the flesh like feel I wanna go for. This sounds weirder as I type it out, lol.

I also am considering making the mouth a separate part so it can move, most likely to a limited degree. I have some thoughts, but nothing concrete yet.

Anyways, I've seen many questions and tutorials on mascot heads, but not how I'm looking for mine to come out, so I thought I'd ask.

Please give me your thoughts or link any useful links you can think of!

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get a fully, wearable suit of terminator armor from the grey knights that also make’s accompanying storm bolter and power sword with high levels of detail and other requests. Any help in recommendations or finding someone who can do so would be greatly appreciated, thanks. At this point I’m just gathering info, looking at options, then deciding.

This might be a bit of an unusual question, but I'm really stuck. I'm working on a cosplay, and decided I really want to make my character's necklace out of beads and make it a proper necklace. However, I'm a total beginner so I'm pretty lost on where to begin. I'm planning on maybe 3d printing the beads if I cant find the right shapes, so in theory the bead holes could go anywhere if that helps. I'm mostly stuck on the pattern of how the beads should be strung. If anyone could make a visual or tell me how you would do it, that would be a huge help!

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.

Hi all! I wanted to share my full finished Skyrim build with you all! It’s all handmade from EVA foam with faux leather and faux fur trim! I have full build tutorials videos on my YouTube channel, along with many other builds from other fandoms and I give away free templates so you can make your own items too! ☺️

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

I made a new cape for my Green Shredder Ranger

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
