Cosplay World

Basically it's two totally different concepts between armor series and fabric series. In the worse condition of the substance to tailored suit of professional be, while most armor costume must be homemade. Of course, the stage can influence very different.

First and foremost, 70-100 us Dollor the basic resources (including materials, manufacturing's fee, color, weapon and other ornaments) to an armor costume. Are generally the Basic materials are the same. It is normal to use Fiber Reinforced Plastics Grille (FRP grille) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). FRP is in the bucket is sold cheaply and as Faculty material. These are the advantages and disadvantages of both:

1.PVC:

Advantages: cheap, simply designed and manufactured (compared to CSF)

Disadvantages: PVC-dress is stiff and seriously affects the smoothness in motion, and it can not be made an exquisite and fine. And the difficult coloring is also an essential Lack.

2.FRP Grille:

Benefits: The character can really soft after the hand-made capabilities. The costume is strong and agile, have little influence on the motion stage.

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

Use the Moster Hunter as an example, the scapula Guard and a helmet and other parts that are needed to design a rule made of fiberglass, and other parts should be made of PVC. The approximate percentage of polyester, PVC and cloth is 3:3:4.

Are not made about weapon: definitely made of wood. The reason is simple: We are cosplayers but not workers. It is predictable that some vulnerable children, the Can not keep wood, has failed weapon for long enough and, then click someone.

These are the plans I'm coming with you:

1. Use KT board:

Advantage: easy to produce and cheap

Disadvantages: endurable and easily broken

2. Use steel wire to form the framework and material for Outdoor cover:

Advantage: easy to make and cheap

Disadvantages: endurable and easily broken

3. FRP hollow molding:

Advantage: The form is perfect, and it is lightweight and strong defense made

Disadvantages: In comparison to the first two expensive and difficult to make. Not recommended New corner.

PS: about RFP, because of the difficulty in the production, there is no RFP costume in HangZhou cosplay circle, there are many cases successfully. The champion is made of HangZhoun cosplay this year's festival - TB, whose costume made of fiberglass, have showed their magnificent and gallant cosplay performance. At the present time, this material in the context of research policy for lack of professional molders. (in short, the procedure is first to mold through the soil on a scale of 1:1, and the form then the needed costume) as a result, the material is inexpensive, while the biggest problem is handwork skills.

Last one, impress on the coloration, the audience in the first glance. No matter how delicate is the form, if the color is awful, the costume of an error and seriously affect on the credibility of the public. Nevertheless, it seems our club or nearly the whole cosplay circle does not need the color problem for granted, but it is so important and easily overlooked.
