YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE. I've been stressing about how to even begin to make these for a project!!

Bless you sir, for the detail in your plans!! A lot of people just expect you to figure out where the 45 degree cuts are all on your own, and I frankly don't have the money to waste foam figuring out myself! Kudos!

I’ve never done a cosplay before and I’m doing my first one now for Reaper! These videos have reassured me and helped me out, tysm for posting!

YOUR PATTERN JUST SAVED ME!!!! holy crap, seriously bless you for posting the pattern!

You're welcome

OMG. Thank you so much. My son wants to be Reaper this year for Halloween, and the geaes are the last piece I didn't have a decent pattern for. You're my hero this Halloween season.

Many thanks for this, man :) I'm actually gonna be starting a reaper cosplay myself, and I think I may give this a try!

thankyou for uploading this, I'm doing a reaper cosplay for a convention coming up and this was the only part I thought I wouldn't be able to do, this video and the plans make it super easy! really appreciate it, liked and subbed!

Hey man..awesome build! Do you have the templates for the other parts of the costume? Chest?

This is super helpful on helping to create reaper. Intent to build him for C2E2. I do have a question tho if you can answer it. What type of bonding glue do you use that sticks that quickly? I want to get similar for working since the general stuff isn't all that great I have used and very slow to cure.

@Kagatoamv

5 жыл бұрын

I used Barge Contact Cement, for Contact Cement, you apply the glue to both sides, let it dry to tacky, then press them together, that is what causes them to set so quickly. The downside is you can't adjust it if you mess up. The Evil Ted Smith channel has a demo video on how to use Contact Cement for foam seams.

Great video and template this is gonna save me a lot of time thank you. Just wondering do you have any templates for the mask, I’m having a hard with it can’t seem to get the shape right. I’m willing to buy the mask template if need be.

I primarily used my rotary tool (dremel) to do the bevels. I sometimes use painters tape to mark the bevel lines so I can keep them straight and don't sand away more than I need to.

Great vid! Thanks again. I'm still pretty new to the whole "working with EVA foam" club, but I noticed the notes said to cut bevels into some of the shapes for the plans you provided. Did you have to cut them at a certain angle ?

@raxatechlabs2000

5 жыл бұрын

In the plans, you will see an orange line for uppercut bevels, red for undercut bevels and green for rounded edges. A symbol with the angle will show near the line which indicates the exact angle. For all of these cuts, the angle appears to be 45°.

hey man, your greaves are awesome, i drooled over it the entire video, but can i ask you one little thing? i can't understand the plans you let on description and oh boy i tried, it would be really helpfull if you give me the measures (in brasil we use metric system but feel free to use the one you want, you're the master here after all :D) so i can try build those greaves at home. Ps: as i mentioned in the message above i'm from brasil, so sorry if my english was not good e.e

How did you end up securing them to your legs? Did you use something like Velcro?

Nic - I'm planning on using your templates (SO generously shared - thankee BIG BIG, Sai), but I am making them for my 13 year old nephew who is 'maybe' 5' 8" and of a lanky build. (Nowhere NEAR adult yet). Are your templates designed for adults? If so, if I reduced them to 80%, do you think that may be enough to keep near to symmetry? Appreciate your talent and kindness, and plan to follow your example when I'm in THAT kind of position! Long days and pleasant nights!

@Kagatoamv

I'm 6'2", so they're scaled for me. You can try scaling them by the percent difference in height, then do a rough build with just the pattern, tape the edges together and see how the main part looks on his leg.

@Kagatoamv

6 жыл бұрын

You might be limited on budget and what materials you can work with. But I would advise you check out Bill Doran's Punished Props YT channel and Evil Ted Smith's YT, both have a great collection of beginner videos and templates for good starter projects. For Reaper, instead of trying for a highly accurate costume as your first project, look at the main ideas that make his look; for instance make a mask and combine that with a black hoodie, do a nerf gun repaint for his shotguns, stuff like that. You can also look at the Gabriel Rayes versions of his skins, which have more regular clothes options.

What size EVA foam did you use?

@Kagatoamv

7 жыл бұрын

A mixture of 1/2" and 1/4" EVA foam (should be noted in the document), and you could easily use 4-6mm and 10-12mm. Ideally you want most of the structure made from a thicker foam and detailing done in thinner.
