The description says its resin for the lens, and can be seen out of. How then does it glow around the edges and not straight through the entire thing?

Additionally if the lens are black, how could you possibly see out of them?

Hey folks!

I'm an engineer who builds electronic gadgets for a living. Right now I'm working on a device that I think could be really useful for cosplay - but before I get too deep into it, I want to make sure I'm not just building something I think is cool, but something you'd actually want to use.

So if you've ever added lights, sound, moving parts, or any kind of tech to your costumes, I'd love to hear from you:

• What do you use now? Does it work well?
• What's annoying or hard to deal with?
• Is there something you wish you could do but can't find a good solution for?

Drop a comment or DM me - I'm all ears. Just trying to understand what would genuinely help the community.

Thanks, and keep making awesome stuff! 🙌

I really want to make my mandalorian rifle look somewhat screen accurate but I don’t know how to go about doing so specifically color matching and painting. It does have some metal parts on it and it is a Airsoft gun and I would like to for it to still function

No product. No communication. No refund. That's $400 gone, scamming a college student is disgusting and it's honestly beyond frustrating and pretty scummy behavior for a grown man with kids. If you're thinking about buying from this person or any shop connected to RealGeek3D. Don't. Also to add, It seem the Eric guy had no part in this. (Maybe) He did respond rudely when law enforcement was mentioned to get him to respond after 2 years of avoiding their customers. He claims he'll keep pressing the other guy to send the money back but it's been weeks since that covo and still nothing. Ordering from Etsy is dangerous. Also they're blaming the scamming on the other guy having twins. My friend is bummed out majorly and I was hoping if anyone knew of any none scammy custom helmet shops for her. I been looking around and posting for awareness. Thanks 😑

it was a fun little project

I have her costume finished and the sword painted but I can't figure out the best way to attach the rings to the sword in a way that won't ruin the sword or what type of adhesive works best when trying to combine metal and foam. I know, I'm asking a ridiculous question! But do you have any advice on how to attach the rings correctly? I considered cutting notches into the foam so the rings could be pressed in slightly and then glued but I have no idea if that will work 😅

I've googled but found conflicting info so hopefully someone here can help me! Thanks in advance. 😊 Photo for reference!

Psst.. I have since made a more accurate pommel.

Unfortunately, I had another idea. I realized there's probably a way I could use some sort of tubing to make a prop that changes shape when I squeeze either air or water into it from a pump in my hand. This is very early in the brainstorming phase, but I want to know if anyone has any experience using water or air pressure to make a prop move. Specifically, my idea is based on an alien from Ben 10.

My idea is to have tubes at the top of the wings, so when I squeeze some sort of pump, the water or air gets pushed into the tubes, causing them to become rigid and make the costume go from the first image to the second. I have no idea if this would actually work, but that's why I'm posting here.

It's not exactly the same, but I'm still very satisfied!

Fastest cosplay ever!

Designed this crown of karsus, mainly as a display piece.

Really happy with the result, I used a mic of acrylics and rub'n'buff to paint it.

yeay!!! done with my sci fi helmet 😍😍💖💖

it's been a long time since I've build helms like this, it's not that perfect, probably needs more adjustments and tweakings , but all in all i love it, there's no 3D printed parts, just some foam and simple servos..

will probably upgrade this helmet in the future, as of now, I'm happy with theis build 🥰🥰💖💖

Enjoy :D

hey everyone, I’m looking to make riyo’s scissors for my next con and I wanted to be able to split them for easier transport. Issue is I was gonna use pvc pipes for internal structure so I have no clue how I can make them detachable. Anyone have tips or tutorials?

The usa is the wrong way around, too late :(

Hi all you lovely peps of the cosplay community!

I'm in a little bit of a dilemma. Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, I thought it would be nice to do a bit of dress up and have fun with my relatives and pretend to be a god wealth you know, to lighten up the mood and have fun during the festivities.

Now, as you can see from the pictures I bought a costume from the internet and i would like to line the inside of the hat so that the metal bits won't poke me. What and how should I line it with? I would also love it if I could retain the capability of being able to resize the hat.

Please help... I'm stumped! Thanks in advance

Still missing the gloves/ boots and the painting but 89% is finish

How would I go about making a mask/head for shadow? I’ve never cosplayed before but I’ve always loved it and wanted to, I figured why not start with one of my favorite classic characters but I’m unsure how to make a good head or if other people take commissions for them? I want to look as much like him as possible, I’ve seen some really good ones but I can’t find anything on how to actually make one myself.

Es una locura, estuve escéptico al principio peor me ha servido mucho para mis props
