Basically, it's totally two different concepts between armor series and series of fabric. In the worst condition, the fabric costume can be made by professional tailor while most armor costume has to be done at home. Of course, the influence may be very different stage.
First, from 70 to $ 100 U.S. is the core budget (including materials, manufacturing fee, color, weapons and other ornaments) to make a suit of armor. In general, basic materials are the same. It is normal for the use of fiber reinforced plastics grille (FRP grille) or PVJ (PVC). FRP is sold in bucket and is cheap as a material factor. These are the advantages and disadvantages of these two:
1.PVC:
Advantages: cheap, easily shaped and manufactured (compared to FRP)
Disadvantages: PVC suit is made hard and seriously affects the smoothness in the movement, and can not be tastefully and subtly. And how hard is also a default color fundamental.
2.FRP Grille:
Advantages: the figure may be very delicate function of handmade skills. The suit is strong and agile little effect the movement on stage.
Disadvantages: difficult to do with FRP, and heavy weight is acceptable.
Moster Hunter Take as an example, the guard the scapula and the helmet and other items you need general training should be made of FRP, and other parties should be PVC. The approximate ratio of FRP, PVC and fabric is 3:03:04.
About weapons: definitely not made of wood. The reason is simple: We are working cosplayer, but no. Unpredictable that some weak kids can not hold the wooden weapon made for someone long enough and not and hit.
These are the plans come with:
1. KT board use:
Advantage: easy and cheap manufacturing
Disadvantages: not endurable and easily broken
2. use steel wire to form the frame and the material to cover the exterior:
Advantage: easy to shape and cheap
Disadvantages: not endurable and easily broken
3. FRP hollow molding:
Advantage: the shape is perfect for what he did-armor is light and strong
Disadvantages: compared to the first two is expensive and difficult to do. Not recommended for newcomers.
PS: about FRP, due to the difficulty in manufacturing, no suit FRP in Hangzhou cosplay circle, however, there are many success stories. The winner of this year's festival cosplay HangZhoun – TB, whose costume is made of FRP, cosplay performance have shown great and brave. In Currently, this material is under investigation due to lack of professional shapers. (Briefly, the process is the first in the pan on the floor in 1:1 scale and then a suit is necessary), as a result, the material is cheap, while the biggest problem is the ability of handwork.
The latter, on coloring, which impress the audience at first sight. No matter how delicate is the way, if the color is horrible, the suit is a failure and seriously affects the credibility the hearing. However, it seems our club or about cosplay circle does not have the problem set tone for granted, but it is so important and easily missed.
