Mobius 1 posted:Awesome, I've been hoping for a thread like this for a while now. I have a couple of things I'm working on for fanime and SDCC, but right now I'm a bit stumped on how exactly to make part of my costume. They're a little expensive (Google says $30-$40) but a fencing mask might work. They're relatively opaque and they have that smooth, uniform shape over the entire face.

Is it too big in that it looks like a bobble head, or that it's just too big on the inside? If it's the latter you could probably just pad it like the inside of a bicycle helmet. If it's the former, I got nothin'. Bummer that it's so close.

You could do a really good Riddler. Green thrift store suit, stencil on an assload of question marks with fabric paint. Don Cherry would be pretty loving hilarious, though.

Can anyone recommend an affordable, quality wig store? I'm in need of a long, dark brown/black wig for NYCC.

Can anyone recommend a good way to make TF2's Heavy Weapons Guy's bandoleer? I thought of using toilet paper tubes as a base and covering them, but I can't seem to get enough to go all the way around.

I wanted to make them one solid piece, all attached to the belt. I've asked friends to collect tubes, but most live on campus. I think I may just start cutting the empty tubes off the bars in the bathrooms in my building, as they're the right size, but have a lock on the end so you can't steal whole rolls. Having a slit down one side might not be too bad if it's the side I glue to the belt.

Happy Landfill posted:Dang If you're good at sewing or are willing/able to practice you could take the skirt apart and use it to make a pattern. Then you can get it in the perfect color and material!

It's the perfect skirt, too.

After cosplaying for the first time at NYCC, I'm hooked. I'm already planning for next year. For (one of) my next cosplay(s), I want to go as a set of triplets, with me dressing as one and the other two being mounted on my back like this. What materials should I use to build the flat that the other 'siblings' will be painted on? I'm thinking foam core backed with a whole lot of tape to reinforce it, but if there are other better options I'm very open to suggestions.

TheAbominableSnow posted:So I've never cosplayed (properly) before, and I've been wanting to get into it. I have a couple simpler ones planned, but. I kind of also want to do this character: Try looking for DIY Deadmau5 heads. There are a billion tutorials out there, and you can probably modify one to fit that character.

Warheart525 posted:I'm looking for a new costume idea for this year, but I have no idea what to do. Like I said, I'm about 6' tall, slim and have short red hair. I can't really think of a lot characters that would fit that description. Bulk up and go as Sgt. Hatred.

DetectiveSlowpoke posted:So, I did a Majora's Mask cosplay and wanted to make another mask. The problem with mine is that the spikes break too easily. I made them out of the stuff you put fake flowers in and strengthened it with a base coat of primer then paint and then put a screw in them to hold it to the mask. This stopped the spikes from breaking off all the way but the tips were too fragile. What i'm getting at is that I am wondering what I should make the spikes out of that isn't so fragile. Thought it's sort of expensive, Wonderflex is awesome. I made spikes almost exactly like yours for a puppet this past summer, and they were very light while also being sturdy.

You could also get a pair of non-prescription glasses (think dollar store sunglasses or 3D glasses), pop the lenses out, and attach the big floofy eyebrows to the frames. It would give him that bold dark line around the eyes, too.
