Your patterns/builds are definitely up there with those of the best propmakers :) One suggestion about the patterns though. Wouldn't it be easier to have the markings for the inward/outward beveled cuts at the in- or outside respectively? Meaning a straight line for the silhouette of the piece and the dots/dashes showing where the bevel should end. Not sure if that made what i meant any clearer, but it would show better how much to tilt the blade than guessing how much 40 degrees is. Just a thought, thanks for the videos anyway. Keep them coming, and once again - Your patterns are great!

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I understand your recommendation. The problem is that when cutting out the templates to transfer them on foam, you have to cut on the actual cut line so you'll lose the outward angle markings. The good thing with foam is that you don't have to be totally accurate with the angles. You can cut from 35° to 45° without any issues during assembly.

@GamingDad63 2 жыл бұрын

@@TristanMaker - You could cut at the outward angle markings and then bevel them to the silhouette line. I guess one could even make the bevels with a rotary tool if that felt easier

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

That's true. It would be really helpful for using the rotary tool

Love this. Just bought the templates myself and am about to have a go. Just a question. all of these should be fine being printed as they are onto A4 standard paper? Im fairly new at this I apologise if it's a stupid question. Love the vid mate.

Yes you can print the templates on any size paper. Simply follow the printing tutorial video linked in the product description on Etsy. All the information is there.:)

I was wondering how you got your rectangle piece to the knee pad so smooth I use my dremel and it looked all bumpy and I can see where I joined different size’s together

@TristanMaker Жыл бұрын

You can hide the seam from the stacked parts with flexible filler like I show in the painting video. As for the dremel, it just takes patience and practice. But you can make the surface smoother by heating it with a heat gun and rubbing it against a metal surface while it cools down.

Thanks that metal bit sounds good I just been using my fingers ❤

Where do you buy all the foam?

@lilrobi45xxx42 2 жыл бұрын

I recommend on the shins to use a trapdoor system like how patchbots does it’s so it doesn’t create a visible seam on the side

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

I did some tests and unfortunately with foam it is hard to keep the shape using this technique. The zipper on the side was the easiest and fastest option for me.

Do you use contact cement for all of the connections? Is there any other viable option for gluing the pieces?

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

Most of the time I do. You can also use super glue or hot glue, but contact cement works much better

@mummabear448 Жыл бұрын

I was wondering how do you cut the pelvis and back plate as my daughters overlap. I noticed you said if they overlap to cut them but they are shaped so was wondering how would be the best way to cut them 😊

@TristanMaker Жыл бұрын

The way I did it was by cutting the front piece. Just follow the curve that the edge has instead of cutting it straight.

Can you link all the tools you used or mention what you used please

@GamingDad63 2 жыл бұрын

And another question. The superglue i use make the foam somewhat hard and brittle. I see you're using Gorilla superglue, that will not have that effect on foam, or?

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

It does make the foam a little brittle at the seam, but less than the typical superglue that comes in small tubes.

Are you able to sit down for awhile without the armor messing up or creasing and stuff? And if you say use the heat gun to fix it, what if it’s painted, wouldn’t the paint get messed up?

@TristanMaker 2 жыл бұрын

It's hard to sit with this armor, but doable. But I wouldn't recommend sitting for too long as it might add cracks or folds in the armor. The heatgun method only works with certain sealing products. Watch Kamui Cosplay's video on priming eva foam to learn more about which product would be best for you.

I'm not sure exactly, but with a 4x1 meter sheet of 8mm foam, a 2x1 meter sheet of 5mm foam and a 1x1 meter sheet of every other thicknesses specified on the templates, you should have more than enough. Have fun crafting!
