More history

Make the template
Make Templates from "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).
Mark scissors.


I finished making the Templates.


Building
Cut material into the Templates form.
Cut out 5mm thick EVA foam.





EVA foam is soft material.
You can process it easily.
Other names are EVA board, EVA zote, Craft foam etc.
Cosplayers all over the world use this.
It's sold in Amazon or AliExpress etc.

Introduction video




Use a sharp blade. For example, "Pro Blade".
This is so sharp.

I always use "Running fire box cutter","Blade breaker",Cutting mat.
"Blade breaker" can break the blade easily.


Use Standard art knife or Cushion grip art knife to cut small ornaments etc, too.
Standard art kinfe is for 1.5mm thickness and 3mm thickness.
Cushion grip art knife is for 5mm thickness and 10mm thickness.

Make the edges smooth with a Soldering iron (Don't breathe in the smoke, be careful a burn).
Or, cut it by edged tools.
(Actually I used fire, but it's dangerous method. I recommend a Soldering iron

Use a PVC pipe(diameter 2.2cm).
Cut a PVC pipe.
PVC pipe can be cut with a saw.
But a Pipe cutter is more better.
It can cut quickly and neatly.



This is a video of cutting method of PVC pipe, bending method, jointing method.


I finished cutting.


Insert Joint parts of PVC pipe.


Glue with a Liquid super glue.
When you use a Super glue Accelerator, Hardening speed becomes fast.
(Smoke may be generated. Don't breathe in the smoke and don't put in eyes.)





Super glue accelerator makes hardening time short.
It's so useful.
Watch this video.


When you use 100ml, you can make a armorset or about two, three weapons.

Bend a PVC pipe by heat.
I reccomend a Heat gun. It's safety.
If you can't get it , use a Gas toach or a Lighter.
(Be careful about fire. If accidents happens, it's self-responsibility)
Hair dryers can't bend.
When you heat, equip globes always.

Painting
Paint.
When paint direct Lacquer Spray and acrylic paint to EVA foam and PVC pipe,
paint don't fix well.
So you should paint undercoat.

Paint "Bond G17"(one of sticky glue in Japan) thined with lacquer thinner three or four times.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.
(It will char in seconds.)

Dry it about 2 ~ 6 hours.
