The entire build is made using EVA foam floor mats (minus a few small details that I added later on) and this video series will walk you through the entire process so you can create your own awesome cosplay prop!

I also plan to do this prop but I still have it in the trunk of things pending to do. And the second part? We will wait. Good Video Greetings from Peru.

Part 2 is releasing in the next 24 hours. Hope the series helps you get started making your own prop! and best of luck to you... in Peru (ha, that rhymed)!

great instructions, very indepth, will start my build soon based on your videos..! keep em comming.!
although i would like to ask what is the thickness of the foam you have used, looks like more than a 6mm but less than a 1/2 inch thickness, and also i noticed you used same thickness for all you details also.

[@buddycosplay9018]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. The foam I used for this build was 1/2 inch and I used it for the entire build though you can use other thickness and save yourself from having to slice some pieces thinner (my intent was to use a single thickness for the sake of simplicity).

+Buddy Cosplay Thanks man, just wht i wanted to hear, got a whole bunch of 1/2 inche foam lying around, spares me from spending more on foam. 👍🏻👍🏻
