More history

Make the template
Make Templates from "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).
When you want to know how to make Templates of weapons, browse this page.



Building the blade


Cut material into the Templates form.
Cut out "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan).


"Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) is sold in only Japan.
It's harder than Drawing paper. The thickness is about 0.5mm.
I'm sure you can't get it.
Then, substitute various thin plastic sheets.


Crease by tracing with a ballpointpen.
(The red line is the crease.)


I finished creasing.


Cut the tip of blade a little.


Turn it over.
Glue the tip of blade.
Glue with a Hot melt(glue gun).


ギャクヨガが愛用しているグルーガンです、口が広くてとても使いやすい！

Use a Iron gardening stick(diameter 0.8cm).
Use it as a core.
Cut it wit Freeway coping saw, pliers, nippers, diamond files, etc.
This stick is just a iron stick.
You can substitute various metalic sticks.


園芸用の棒は一応Amazonでも売ってるが異常に高い、ホームセンターや100均で買った方が良い。


I finished cutting.


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.)





瞬間接着剤で接着する際に硬化スプレーを併用すると
一瞬で接着できて作業がとてもはかどる。
接着しがたい様な箇所の接着時に私は常に使っている。
ためしに動画でご覧ください。


こちらが瞬間接着剤硬化スプレー(商品名はアルテコスプレー)。
100mlあれば全身甲冑1セット分、武器なら2,3本程度分使える。
420mlには細かい作業に便利な細長いノズル付き。
ホームセンターで購入可能。
ちなみに瞬間接着剤は私は100均の物を使っているが、
勿論アロンアルファ等でもOK。
←100ml ←420ml　 ←大容量アロンアルファ






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.
←100ml ←420ml


Glue another blade.
Glue with a Liquid super glue.


I finished glueing.


Glue edges of the blade.
Glue with "Bond G17"(one of sticky glue in Japan). Detailed process is here.
Paint it with a broken piece of "Kousakuyousi"(one of hard paper in Japan) as a brush.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.



Reinforce the blade by applying Liquid super glue on the edge.


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.
←10枚入り ←50枚入りお得パック

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.

Painting
Begin painting.
At first, paint undercoat on EVA foam.
The effects are as follows.

-Color becomes well.
-It becomes hard to come off.
-Gloss comes out well.
-You can save quantity of the paint.


1.Gesso
This is easy.

【Merit】
-It's usable just to paint with a paint brush.
-Gesso don't contain thinner, then you can use it in the room.
-You can use also Acrylic paint.
-There are several colors one, white black etc.

【Demerit】
-It's easy to come off than Thinned "Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan).
 Then, use this for weapons and armors without moving parts.
-The gross is smaller than Thinned "Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan).

【Commodities　page】
Gesso or Black Gesso
or

【Paint】

or

2.Wood glue thinned with water
This is so easy.

【Merit】
-Someone can get
-Someone can use easy

【Demerit】
-Drying time is a little long.

【Commodities　page】


3."Bond G17"(one of liqud glue in Japan)
This is dangerous method, it's most likely happening fire.
I wrote about this method as a archive,
However I don't recommend this.
I don't use this method now, I use other method now.
If accedents happens, it's self-responsibility.

【Merit】
-It'st hard to peel off.
-It can use for PVC pipe or plastic sheets.

【Demerit】
-"Bond G17" is japanese commodity. Then you can't get it easily.
-It needs thinner, then you must work outdoors.
-It burns easily.
Don't use fire until drying, because "Bond G17" burns easily. Don' use a Lighter etc until drying.
The parts will be charred in seconds.

Dry it about 2 ~ 6 hours.
