Hello!
This will be my first ever thread here on the RPF, so bare with me! :ninja
For my first ever cosplay, i did a lot of research material-wise, and spent countless hours watching all the propmaking and cosplaying legends! (Kamui Cosplay, PunishedProps, Evil Ted)
Character wise, im super hyped for Overwatch, and id be wanting to try making Genjis helmet (reference link for those who havent seen him: http://eu.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/genji) for a school project, but i decided to go ahead and make the whole thing!
My school has Laser cutters, 3D printers, saws, grinders, sanders,vacuu-forming, pretty much every single tool you could want for making props and armor.
I always wanted to try making stuff out of foam, so i got myself some well known EVA mats and started patterning.
The steps are all basic, nothing special.
Research (Blizzard reference kits!) -> Patterning -> Cutting -> Heat bending -> Glueing -> Plasti-dipping -> Painting -> Weathering
I will try to keep you updated on the project when i have made progress Currently at week 2, with some hours each day to work with. Helmet is currently 90 % done, missing a strap + LED´s. I will be using a balaclava with the attached "pony tail" scarf on the back.
Hope you like my build, havent seen anyone do Genji yet
(Also, huge thanks to Haerverk for being my sensei! :darnkids)
(Build start, tracing my patterns to foam, cutting, glueing, repeat)
