I gotta try out foam armour again, I just did McCree's arm and ended up doing it with worbla cause it's what I'm more familiar with but that foam hand looks so much more comfy haha
Hello Zonbi I was just curious what kind of foam did you use? I plan on using foam for a Shiro cosplay but I'm not sure what type of foam to use, please help, thank you
Angelina Garcia there are several types of foam to use for these kinds of projects. EVA foam the floor mats that look like square puzzle pieces are great for thicker armor I'm thinking like gaming armor. There is also a thinner EVA foam for a lighter more bendable foam. (Heat guns are where it's at for doing your own cosplay) And then there is the craft foam that you can get at walmart is all different colors like you see what she has. The craft foam is great for layering on top of the thicker EVA foam for more details and dimension. Most of this can be bought at walmart. The eva foam would be by the workout section. Usually two types to pick from (6 square pieces or a rolled up EVA mat) for $20. And the craft foam- well the craft section at walmart. :)
What brand/type of super glue do you use? I'm working on a Hayseed Junkrat cosplay for my boyfriend to wear and your tutorials are very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Sorry if someone asked this or if you answered this, but what foam did you use on the arm piece? I couldnt tell if it was EVA or craft foam. Thank you for making this by the way :)
I wish I had the time to transfer all the patterns I make online for you guys to have. :^( Maybe one day I hope. I usually don't keep my patterns I make unfortunately.
do you have any patters you used or anything? I've been working on trying to do a junkrat cosplay as well and i just. i messed it all up and it fell apart.
Ahh, this is so helpful, THANK YOU! If I may ask, what type and/or thickness of foam did you use? I want to make sure that I get the right foam for the job.
Can you pretty please answer this question!ok so im getting ready to make a rhys cosplay from borderlands and ive never made a bionic/robot arm before and I have very little money do you have any suggestions on how I make a cheap arm that looks good...also it would really help if you could maybe give me some pointers on how to start it I get the General concept from this video but rhys's arm is a bit different, please help!
If I could ask how you attach the foam parts to your glove when using glue? Do you stuff the glove with a fake hand then glue on, do u wear the glove as you glue the pieces on?
Hi there! I'm a little late to the game, but regardless I have a quick question: does the type of glove matter? I'm trying to be frugal with my money when it comes to pieces that are altered and painted. I see that the glove you have has padding- is that essential or not exactly? Thanks!
I like using those tactical gloves because the armor tends to stick better and remain more rigid, but you don't have to do that! I've sewn plenty of "hand turkey" gloves and stuck armor on top of them and they've worked out fine.
Thanks for the video. It seems whenever I hit a point were I want to check how someone else did it you post a video about that subject. Also my 7 year old daughter thinks you are awesome and said I should marry you. I had to explain why that wasn't going to happen. She was not happy with that answer. Anyway, thanks for all the great videos. Also what heat knife do you use?
omg youre so cute!! i love when girls cosplay the junkers; i wanna cosplay roadhog but im 5 feet even so i think it might be a little underwhelming haha
For some reason UA-cam is not letting me copy/paste the link for you but if you put this into the Amazon search bar this is the one I've used for a long time. It comes with a bunch of attachments too: Walnut Hollow Creative Versa Tool with Versa-Temp Variable Temperature Control and 11 Woodburning Points
it looks really nice but it would be more helpful if u showed how you do the forms and stuff instead of just showing the glueing part. but amazing work!
Hi Zonbi! I love what you did with this cosplay, I am currently working on a McCree and his robot arm. I was wondering when you plastidipped the glove, did you spray the fabric too? Or did you plastidip the foam then glue it onto the glove? If its the first one (which it looks like) how did you stop the plastidip from soaking through the glove and sticking everything together?
Thank you! I plastidipped it when all the pieces were attached to the gloves. Painting every individual tiny piece is a bit tedious for me but taking your time and painting every individual piece will give you lovely results. The plasti-dip doesn't soak through the fabric but I do stick paper towels inside my gloves when I'm gluing the pieces on to prevent the fabric from sticking.
Hey Zonbi! I know I'm very late to this video, but I was wondering if you made the pattern yourself, or did you buy it from someone? I'm currently working on my Junkrat arm and I'm struggling to make a pattern
I'm working on Mei boots. My first time working with EVA foam. What would you suggest I use to fill seams? Someone suggested wood glue but I read that can be bad to use on flexible items such as boots. What would you suggest?
You just hot glue thinks to your glove while it's on your hand? O_O I burned myself last time I tried that, but it seems everyone's is really good at it. I just have office hands I guess.
hi! I'm working on a very similar cosplay and was wondering- and sorry if its a dumb question but, how exactly did u glue on the parts the the glove? do you directly apply the glue to the glove and then slide on the part or??
Hi Zonbi I love all your videos and I'm making a Junkrat costume to and I was just wondering how did u make the the belt that the flask goes on and I really hope u get back to my question thank you
Do you glue the bits to the glove then plastidip, or do you plastidip the bits first the glue it? I'd imagine plastidip on the glove would mess with the fabric.
you put the details on with a heat tool? I need little designs like that on my cosplay, this is my first time lmao. I dunno what tool to get to make the little slices and designs like that? can anyone help/reccommend anything?
I love love love all of this it's so dang cool! Do you have any images of the foam before it was all glued together? I'm looking at making my own Junkrat cosplay too!
Quick question that I hope wasn't asked already, and if it is I apologize. Never worked with Plasti-Dip before but I plan on making a Zenyatta cosplay, and I was wondering if it bonds to fabric okay. I noticed you seemed to spray the glove after the pieces of foam have been attached. Does it hinder any form of mobility in the fabric of the glove? I'm more asking if it works with a certain fabric more or if its okay to just spray away.
It doesn't really "bond" to fabric well but it does dry! I found it doesn't impede mobility if you're working with a glove. With gloves, I usually plasti-dip the glove with foam bits attached. If I were more patient, I would take the time to plasti-dip every individual piece before attaching it to the glove--but I usually don't do that. I hope that helps!
I'm building a junkrat cosplay myself at the moment, first ever attempt at cosplay and I'm really enjoying it, could I ask what you're using to do your weathering and scorch marks? Really enjoying your videos ^^
Two questions: 1. For the leg, are the base pieces made out of craft foam or EVA foam? 2. When you put on the arm and hand piece, is it easier to put the arm on first and then the hand piece or vice versa? The pieces look great! The tips are definitely going to make my Junkrat cosplay a hell of a lot easier! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Hi Kandy! For the leg details I used thinner 7mm and 3mm EVA foam that you can get from any craft store. It's easier to put on the arm first, then the glove. Best of luck on your build!
What type of foam are you using for your Junkrat cosplay? I bought wonder mat and was going to use that to build the cosplay, but wonder mat is thicker that the other foam mats. Also thanks you very much for making these helpful tutorial for Junkrat. I've been over thinking on my cosplay and your videos helped me with what to do next especially the riptire. i've already messed up my riptire and i don't want to start all over, but its alright this is my first time working with eva foam and it won't come out perfect the first time. i'll eventually do a redo when I get better with foam, worbla, worbla pie, and moldable plastic.
Thank you! I got some of the foam I'm using from Joanns' and Michael's' You can check it out in this video: Tips on Shopping for Cosplay Supplies: ua-cam.com/video/3BfyhrFrbjk/v-deo.html
So I've been coaplaying for a few years now but just buying my props pre built. I have a convention next year and i eant to build reaper from overwatch. I was wondering what kind of foam you are using and if you have any tips for a first time builder
You can use EVA foam! I've seen a lot of cosplayers use the ones that come in those jigsaw mats for kids but I think they also sell in rolls on AliExpress or Amazon. The thicker ones are good for the base of props, I tend to use thinner ones for detailing
Hi!!
I'm just wondering where did you buy the base glove at?
Tutorial is definitely helpful, thank you!
I searched "tactical gloves" on Amazon. I don't have a preference when I choose as long as they're the right size!
bdw how did u join the gloves with the hand foam pieces??
ok hot glue and super glue .. got it
lol
Academy
I gotta try out foam armour again, I just did McCree's arm and ended up doing it with worbla cause it's what I'm more familiar with but that foam hand looks so much more comfy haha
This video is super helpful! I'm going to be starting a FMA genderbend Edward soon, and these tips will really help me with making his arm!

Sorry if someone asked this or if you answered this, but what foam did you use on the arm piece? I couldnt tell if it was EVA or craft foam. Thank you for making this by the way :)
Thank you! I use EVA foam in varying thicknesses.
@@GraceWillow where is a good place at a major usa chain to buy the eva foam?
@@CreoVox I like TNT cosplay supply!
Hey I was wondering if you knew how to make big 3 finger claw gauntlets
Do you think you can post patterns for the hand ?? I need to create a robot arm for my dystopian cosplay

@@GraceWillow ☹
I'm glad I'm the only one whose table looks like that during a build lol
i need help finding a blue print for junkrats arm
Out of curiosity, what kind of foam (like brand or type) did you use when creating this costume?
do you happen to know where to get the foam pattern for the arm parts
the "heat tool" you're using, can a soldering iron do the same thing?
do you have a video of making the hand or a template
How long does it take you to make complex armor pieces like this usually?
do you have any patters you used or anything? I've been working on trying to do a junkrat cosplay as well and i just. i messed it all up and it fell apart.
where did you get the glove, or if you made it is there a tutorial for it?
Ahh, this is so helpful, THANK YOU! If I may ask, what type and/or thickness of foam did you use? I want to make sure that I get the right foam for the job.

You got any suggestion on making Ashe's armor pieces from Overwatch?
Do you glue the bits to the glove then plastidip, or do you plastidip the bits first the glue it? I'd imagine plastidip on the glove would mess with the fabric.
Do you have any templates for Junkrat? I wanna make my own arm an the upper pieces but Im stuck. Love your work!!
What type of foam dd you use for this build? I wanna make sure i get a good flexible and sturdy foam because I wanna build a junkrat cosplay too
Try Poly Foam Caulk Saver from Home Depot to take the place of the more expensive tubing you're using...

this same technique can aply to making a prop of nero´s devil breaker??
just curious where you bought the blueprints for the glove? 💚 much love
Question: where did you get your foam I'm gonna try to make a Junkrat arm but I don't quite know materials

I love love love all of this it's so dang cool! Do you have any images of the foam before it was all glued together? I'm looking at making my own Junkrat cosplay too!
Do you play overwatch and if you do what do you play on like pc, Xbox, ps4?
Zonbi I need a lil template could you please make it? I would love it, thank you, or make them for sale
Great tutorial but I also was wondering where you got that specific glove?
can this fake arm be used to make a prosthetic arm for a current day Juuzou suzuya in tokyo ghoul
Quick question! Is it cool to use the heat tool on the pieces after they're plastidipped or nah?
Hi, quick question, could I use hot glue to glue the foam pieces? And do you think I could a pipe for a base of the arm prosthetic?
You could! Hot glue may not hold as nicely as super glue or contact cement but if it's all you have it will work just fine :^)
Do you have anything like a pattern? I cant seem to find where to start with the arm!
You're really good at this. Great video. I'd just slow down a little when you're showing off the completed product.
Quick question that I hope wasn't asked already, and if it is I apologize.

Go to dipyourcar.com. There are hundreds of different colors of plastidip
got a pattern?
What size foam did you use for the finger bits? And the rest of the arm?
I'm building a junkrat cosplay myself at the moment, first ever attempt at cosplay and I'm really enjoying it, could I ask what you're using to do your weathering and scorch marks? Really enjoying your videos ^^

Please tell me you are not spraying plastidip inside your house.
