Couple of tips.... You can do this with clear packing tape to make tracing the hair line easier. And you can add that to a wig block so that you have a permanent custom base for your wigs.

I can see adding 40mm computer fans and hiding the power supply in there, as well as using traditional wig elements to look more hair-like and getting the advantages of both materials. The cool part, the really cool part, is the less perfect you fix the hair the better it can look! Honestly, if I saw a high-production-value X-Men movie with comic hair made this way, I wouldn't be mad.

Very cool - the choice of source material is most awesome... But a question - I have made helmets in the past and find that they are great at insulating your bonce. Are there any ways to help vent the heat away or is the discomfort a part of the cosplay experience?
@punishedprops 2 ай бұрын
Yeah, foam directly against the skin gets warm fast. For helmets, we scale the pattern up so there's an air gap between the head and inside of the helmet. If a construction helmet base (amzn.to/43EKcYR) fits for support, awesome! If not, we use some squishy, foam blocks in strategic areas to keep the helmet in place and still allow air flow. If the design allows room for a fan (amzn.to/49ynzXH) it helps with the heat so much.
@Red-zv2xt 2 ай бұрын
This was so cool to watch! Is there perhaps an alternative to the Cosbond to reinforcing the seams on the inside? I struggle with wig working and love workign with foam, so this was a fantastic video to watch!
@punishedprops 2 ай бұрын
I imagine strips of non-stretchy fabric glued over the seams would have a similar effect. Anything that relieves the stress pulling on the foam seams and doesn't add too much interior thickness.
