costume help

Hey everyone! I'm a new member, and fairly new to costume and prop making as well. I understand there are probably a bunch of threads already informing others on what to do, or how they can improve their craft, but I am asking for some personal advice. I started this project late last year...

Hello guys my name is Josh and im new here, ive been trying to get a noble 6 cosplay going and have hit issues with each time i have tried. ive tried pepakura and foam and either way i manage to mess something up. so i thought id put some posts on here to get some help from people to give me...

Hi everyone, I am new here so not sure if this is the right place to post this. I got a 3D printer a few months back and have been testing it out here and there with various prints but I think it is time to go big. I want to make a full suit of either spartan armor from Reach (Emile or Carter)...

I have wanted to be Commander Sarah Palmer for years but never could find a costume to buy and now that I know I can build it I really want to. The problem is that I can't get any of the zip files to load. Can anyone send them to me? I saw Master Builder had them and everyone was talking about...

Hello! I'm very new to this community but nonetheless I want to build my very own spartan armor. As I already have a 3d printer and some skill with Autodesk Fusion I thought I might 3d print my set. I quickly realised this would not be as easy as I thought and have already encountered several...

Howdy all, I'm new to the site, as I'm trying to get into costuming and such, but I've been met with a dilemma atm. I'm wanting to get a 3d printer with a decent build volume so I can create my armor pieces and such easier. The biggest obstacle is that I'm unsure of what 3d printer to get...

So i am in a process of build helmets from eva foam, but i'm new to pepakura, so for building to i copy down the pieces on the foam and work off of that or build the paper craft and eyeball it? I have made 1 helmet so far but it was poorly done since i eyed it instead of trying to find...

So in my previous posts I done the helmet, but some things went wrong with my personal life and the helmet got thrown away. But new starts and all, lock down made me try again, as of now the legs and chest are done (ish). Any tips on how to make the paint job look better? Also any ideas on what...

I'm at the point I need to resin parts and round edges more. I'm going to work on some parts I made before but turned out to be larger then I need them to be. Anything I should know or try when doing test runs? What should I look out for? How can I round the edges and stay true to shape?

Hello peoples!!!! My name is Hibiki! The first video game I ever played was Halo 2 and since then I have always dreamed of having my own suit of halo armor. In the past, I have looked into commissioning for a suit but it is so expensive. I need to know where to start!!!! What is best for...

been about 4 years since i have been on this website so a bit rusty on how everything works. for the past 4 years i have been trying to make an odst helmet but things like education, work, helping my mum, bloody body filling the helmet (body filler, sand,body filler, sand for the 4 years) and a...

Hello everybody, im looking to get started with my first suit, but I don’t really know where or how to start. The suit im looking to do is a Mark IV (I think that’s the one) Any help is appreciated

Hey everyone! So after seeing the new trailer I instantly loved their new suits and thought this would be a good build to do that did not deal with armor. First thing to do is find a pattern. It seems an athletic tracksuit jacket seems to be the closest that resembles this suit. Decided to...

So, my ODST forearms arms are a bit loose and tend to rotate on my arm. I want to add some padding inside to help with this. I was looking for the kind of foam they have in like halloween masks, but couldn't find anything. Also, my helmet could use some padding. Do any of you have any...

So I am about 6'3" and was wondering if I should do a master chief or a ODST costume, and what template would fit me since I am tall. I very new to this and would like to know the best way to make a suit that would fit me and it I should print templates off or go off of what looks best on me...
