How to Make a DEAD SPACE Plasma Cutter EVA Foam DIY Cosplay Tutorial

Рет қаралды 46,776

5 жыл бұрын

Hey guy those that have followed me for a while know that I absolutely love the game Dead Space. So I decided that I would go back and recreate his iconic Plasma Cutter out of HD-Foam so it's extremely light and con safe! This foam build also goes over the painting techniques I used to take it from a raw weapon to fully rendered cosplay accessory.

When I started following your channel I did not understood why you were sticking your pieces with contact cement AND super glue. I tought it was useless. Then, I gave it a tried. It's SO smart. I always do it now, sorry for my lack of confidence in your experience!

What size paper did you use to print out the template, and how do I go about getting that exact same size: what printer do I need? All I have is your typical essay size printing paper. Just sumbled upon your video and looking forward to build one of my favorite video game weapons!

Never mind, just saw one of the comments down below with the same question and with an answer; thank you! Clarify further if you'd like!

@SKSProps 4 жыл бұрын

It's just normal printer sized paper but the trick is open the PDF in adobe acrobat and make sure that you select "poster" size. That will keep the template normal size and break it up between multiple sheets.
