Building the sheath 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. ←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. ↑刃はついてないので→の替え刃とセットで買うこと ●5mm厚コスプレボードを楽天で買う 送料無料の5枚セット ●5mm厚コスプレボードをAmazonで買う ●5mm厚COSボード匠を楽天で買う(COSボード匠はAmazonでは売ってません) Mark sticking positions.(arrow marks on Templates) Glue with a Liquid super glue.

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 黒いジェッソと詰替えパック 白いジェッソと詰替えパック 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. 【Commodities page】 "Bond G17"(one of sticky glue in Japan) thined with lacquer thinner チューブ入り(箱入り)の方が使い勝手はいいですが、缶入りの方がコスパは断然良いです。 -About paint I use following paint. You can use acrylic paint, when you use Gesso. ・About mask In spray painting or lacquer painting, use a mask for painting. ←フィルタ付きセット商品 ←替えフィルタ I use "Zoukei be-su" as undercoat this time. But it's sold only in Japan. Substitute Gesso or Wood glue thinned with water. Paint "Zoukei be-su" twice with a brush. Dry it about 2 ~ 6 hours. Paint gray as undercoat color with Lacquer Spray. Paint navy blue with Lacquer Spray. Paint silver Bottle lacquer paint with a paint brush. When you paint Bottle lacquer paint, use thinner, sticks for mixing, brushes, cups. After painting Tie cord. I refered to this page. Thanks. I used 2meter of this 9mm width cord. Complete |
