Hi, This build is awesome. Great Job. Question? I would like to know if I need to adjust the template size up or down before printing? I'm 5'10" tall average build.
So I made this on my mannequin which has the measurements of : 96cm chest 77cm waist 88cm hips 60cm length neck to hips So depending on your own measurements, it might need scaling up or down! 👍
Thanks so much! So a solid snake vest could be made out of foam, I believe anything can be, but it's gonna be difficult because of all the muscle parts and it's actually material in the game, or should I say supposed to be 😂
I was just wondering if you could possibly put the measurements of your finished armor so I have a better idea of how to size the template when printing? Pretty please!
Sure! ☺️The waist on the mannequin is 33 inches so I think the template will be about 35 as it’s not completely skin tight. If you use the “posted method” to print it off, you can scale it up or down by percentages, so that would depend on your own waist size! I don’t know how accurate it is but I’ve heard I you take your own waist size and divide it by the size of the template, it will give you a number that matches the percentage you should print off at
Awesome work. Is there a reason you didn't paint the additional detail pieces prior to sticking them on to the main torso? If you did this again, which approach would you take? 🤔
@@catspyjamass do you mean the the blue side pieces? It's just easier to seal everything together and then paint it all after the sealer has been done. I f I painted these before sticking them on, I would have to cover it all in masking tape which takes more time. If you stick them on after the yellow was painted, you can run the risk of pulling the paint underneath off and them coming unstuck. If everything is sealed first, together, then it has a layer keeping everything stuck in place 😊 I wouldn't paint it in a different way if I did it again 😊👍
@@VinDhir it’s now all of the above! It started out as fun, then in started going to comic cons and now I have turned it into a business! The absolute dream! 😍
I’m a Star Trek fan and I cosplay as lacutas of Borg, could you do a Borg costume please, I would show you my costume but I don’t know how to post photos on here. Thanks
Hello! This cosplay turned out amazing for you. And also leave the templates for free?! Magnificent! I want to ask you a question, if I do this cosplay and make a video I can use your templates? I will give all the info of your channel and leave it in the description. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
I was finally able to do this cosplay, thank you very much for inspiring us and giving us the free templates. Thank you for sharing your work My video is already on my channel 🤗 Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 🇨🇷 🇨🇷
I don't know exact amounts if I'm honest as I have quite a big supply, but it was no more than a 1m x 1m sheet with some left over from that, but obviously you will need different thicknesses 😊
Did you have any trouble with that spray paint texture? I sought ought the Montana Gold as recommended, but my test sprays on two different surfaces keep coming out very grainy. Did you have to sand it at all after painting?
@@sirrogueke I can't say I have a grainy texture, I sprayed it quite close though,so maybe this was why? Maybe there is a very slight texture but nothing that noticeable. I can't see why you couldn't stand it with super fine grip sandpaper 😊👍
@@TheFoamWitch oh gosh the Deadpool chest plate would be WONDERFUL. The Wolverine tutorial & templates are absolutely fantastic. Do you have any idea of your timeline for completing the Deadpool templates? And are there ways to support you/show appreciation besides liking videos & subscribing to your channel?
@@ronanfleming2252 so when you use pdf printer, there is a button called "poster" when printing. If you press that it prints a single page over multiple pages so you can set the scale to whatever you want to make it bigger 👍
Mostly 5mm foam for this apart from the 2 blue parts next to the neck piece which were 10mm. 😊 And I get all my foam from the awesome Tyges Supplies! 👍
@@KellyBradford-gl3jgI probably wouldn't recommend any type of spray paint, because it's not flexible and will crack as soon as the foam moves, but the paint I used in this video seems to be white flexible but I usually just use acrylic paint 👍
any tips on how to scale this template for me? for reference, i have an 84cm chest, a 74cm waist, and a 82cm hip measurement. i see that you used a4 paper for the template, is there any other paper format i can size it down to hopefully get everything to fit right?
@@kai.7406 honestly, I need to figure out an actual method, because at the moment it will just be trial and error. The waist on the mannequin is 33 inches so I think the template will be about 35 as it’s not completely skin tight. So after doing the conversion, that’s pretty much your size! If anything I would print it out and scale up 10% on the pdf printer! If you use the “poster method” to print it off, you can scale it up by percentages, so that would depend on your own waist size! I don’t know how accurate it is but I’ve heard I you take your own waist size and divide it by the size of the template, it will give you a number that matches the percentage you should print off at
@@catspyjamass I can't say I did, as hot glue doesn't tend to soak into the foam. You can do this if you are planning to use contact adhesive though but it's not essential 😊
@@catspyjamass I use specifically for foam hot glue from Tyges supplied and honestly, it's changed my life! I used to use contact adhesive, but even with a respirator, it still made me super sick! The glue sticks I use go on like hot glue, dry like contact adhesive! I was worried using them would mean the costume would fall apart if it got hot but my Skyrim armour has been used loads of places, in sunshine and heat and it's still standing! That's just my preference and experience though! Nothing wrong with contact adhesive 😊

Nope it didn't get taken down by RUclips! It turns out the first few minutes for some reason has disappeared, so I've just hidden it for not until I can do a little bit of editing explaining what happened 👍
I can't see why now! As long as it's flexible enough to make some of the curved 😊 I've known people use my templates with all sorts of materials, it doesn't have to be Eva foam 👍👍
@@jessiepayne9217 is that like styrofoam? Like they use fragile things for packaging? I'm not sure that would be ideal as it isn't really flexible and would probably crack when bent
So if you print using a pdf printer, there is an option to set the scale I believe. If you set it up, and use the "poster" method I think it is, it will add the templates over multiple pages 😊
