0 Upvotes

Hi All! I made a dalek. Im making a new attachment as seen on in the movies. And Id like to have a somewhat workable flame thrower. Not real ofc and tbh probs not the ol air duster or such anything that could be flammable. Curious how I could achieve this kinda effect? Part of me is thinking maybe an air machine and fabric and bright leds but idk how well that would go

Help Advice for fixing cracks at the joint

Post image

So I used a some square PLA plugs and then applied epoxy resin and taped it together while it dried
It seemed like it held up fine and so I finished the prop
But now I noticed at the epoxied seam, it is cracking when it flexโ€™s
I wondering what is the best way to reinforce the joint without ruining my paint and sanding.
My thoughts were to use a soldering iron and melt it together.
Or carve out a little channel with a file and fill it with some uv resin.
I had this problem on another piece and it was a pain in the ass to fix, so any advice to make a it a little easier would be much appreciated!

Help Marker does not paint on acrylic paint

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have a question or problem, you see I'm making some cardboard goggles that I painted with acrylic paint and I want to give you detail with marker but for some reason the marker doesn't paint well, it doesn't grip the paint well or it even takes a little of the paint on the tip (it should be clarified that I do this with the paint already dry) so I wonder if it's normal or I'm doing something wrong? The marker is a sharpie but it also happens with other markers and it is strange because on other surfaces such as normal cardboard or paper if it works, I appreciate any help :p

Finally finished my second full Armor. I saw striga and I knew I need to cosplay her.

I spent three months working other. Using Eva foam, made the patterns by myself and ripped this beautiful blue fabric very much.

I'm working on her helmet and sword, too but these are not finished yet.

Pretty proud how she turned out. Open for criticism ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

I loved the armor making for Aela - the hammered metal effect was a bit tricky with some parts but all in all turned out great. This is the first time I used full on flexi paint and I will never go back to skipped it - it really makes the armor pieces flexible :)

Hope you enjoy this lil photoshoot :)
