One cosplay I plan on doing is Taskmaster from Marvel Comics, and one thing I was planning on doing differently than every other one I've seen is to try to make the mask two separate parts, like a regular skull. I have wire to make a guide, but what material would I use for the mask itself?

fallin1 posted:My suggestion would be to buy a plastic mask similar to this one and then using paper mache and claycrete and mold it up how you need it to look. Alternatively if you want a better fitting mask you can make a mold of your face using plaster cloth and then proceed as previously suggested. That would work. I was thinking clay as something that would be more readily available (if it dries slowly), but papermache/plaster cloth would be more exact. I was planning on having a top half and a separate lower jaw that moves as I talk, and I thought of two problems: 1. How to attach the lower half to the upper half without it falling apart, 2. Keeping the lower half moving with my jaw. To solve problem 1, I was thinking of using some kind of peg mechanism so I'm not relying entirely on friction. Then again, I'm more of an engineer than a costumer, so I'm not sure what is .

Mecha Neko posted:You can buy a skull mask with a moving jaw to paint and modify, just not as cheap as a plain full-face mask. I saw this in the related items, and it's similar to what cuntvalet was mentioning. So I think I have enough to go off of. If and when I make any progress, I'll put it here. Thanks!

I'm looking to make Ral Zarek from Magic The Gathering, and I'm asking: Is a reliable way I can cut equal sized strips for leather straps for his backpack, and for the gold trim on his tabard? I don't trust myself to cut this by hand

my cat is norris posted:If you want to preserve the "look" of leather, you can go with one of these faux leather options from JoAnn: https://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-faux-leather-fabric.aspx I might try this since its the cheaper option and see how it looks

 I'm close to finishing UDON Taskmaster, but I'm finding the pads shift a lot. That could be because I'm using buckles, though To fix this, I had 2 ideas: 1. Use elastic for all the pads, but this could be hard to adjust, and more 2. Attach the pads to the suit directly, but it would be hard to clean. Any thoughts? And yes, I do plan on repainting the pads.
