On the way to make cosplay armor

Basically, it's totally two different concepts between armor series and web series. In the worst condition, fabric costume can be made as professionals, while most of the armor has to be home. Of course, the shift of influence can be very different.

Firstly, 70-100 us dollors is the core budget (including materials, manufacturing costs, color, weapons and other ornaments) to make a suit of armor. In general, the basic material is the same. It is normal for the use of fiber reinforced plastic grating (FRP grid) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). FRP is sold in the bucket and is cheap as a material factor. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two:

1.PVC:

Advantages: cheap, easy and manufactured in form of (Compared to FRP)

Disadvantages: rigid PVC suit is made and seriously affects the flow of traffic, and can not make fine and subtly. And difficult in coloring is also an essential defect.

2.FRP Grid:

Advantages: the figure may be very difficult depending on skills in his hand. Demand is strong and agile, hardly affect the movement on stage.

Disadvantages: difficult to do with fiberglass, and great weight is acceptable.

Moster Hunter Take, for example, the custody of the scapula and a helmet and other parts that must shape should generally FRP, and other parts should be of PVC. The approximate ratio of FRP, PVC and cloth is 3:03:04.

The weapon can certainly not be wood. The reason is simple: cosplayer but not work. It is unpredictable and Some children can not take the weapon of wood is not long enough, and someone hurt.

These are the pictures that come with:

1. KT How to use:

Advantage: easy to make, cheap

Disadvantages: not endurable and easily broken

2. the use of steel wire form the frame and material to cover the exterior:

Advantage: easy to shape and cheap

Disadvantages: not endurable and brittle

3. FRP hollow molding:

Advantage: the shape is perfect and is a armor is light and strong

Cons: compared with the first two is expensive and difficult do. Not recommended for the newcomer.

PS: About the GBR is the difficulty in manufacturing, there is no cosplay costume FRP Hangzhou circle without But there are many success stories. The champion of the party HangZhoun Cosplay years – TB, whose costume is made of fiberglass, showed his superb performance cosplay Galán. At present, this material is subject research for non-professional shapers. (In short, the process is first to mold the soil 1:1, then the way the game is necessary) after the material is cheap, while the biggest problem is the ability of handwork.

After about of color, to impress the public in the face. No matter how the form is delicate, so the color is horrible, the dress is a failure and seriously affects the credibility the hearing. However, it seems our club or most of the cosplay circle does not help color for granted, but it is so important and easily overlooked.
