Is this the type of craft foam you used? [link]
Or something sturdier? Just wondering.... I need to make a new arm. Mine is breaking. XD
And what type of glue did you use to glue on the fabric?

And I REALLY need to stop spending money on other things(Bought a $50 game yesterday-_-'') Though depending on how my arm turns out I might have to invest in working on an ed cosplay....(I'd just need a wig and new pants then if I do FMAB/Manga Ed)

Not exactly.. The craft foam we used was about 2-3 mm thick. But except for that, it's about the same. ^^

And for the glue.. We just used normal fabric glue

Heh.. I know that feeling! Spending too much money on a lot of things x3
Woah! I'll look forward to see that! ^^

Okay, yeah, that foam is pretty thin I just showed a pic of the packet of foam. XD
Fabric glue, got it. :3

Hah, luckily I have a LOT of things to ebay.

Don't look TOO foreward to it. XD My main priorities are to get my Greedling cosplay done first now that I finished my Roy cosplay. (Need to get pictures!)

Thanks for the reply!

Thank you very much! ^^
It's better if you ask for a hug first. :3
Because some cosplayers are extremely carefull with their cosplays, and some might get very angry if you just glomp then suddenly. ^^' I'm luckily not one of those types, but I'd get very sad, if my cosplay broke ^^'

Aabenhuus In reply to FMA-Neko-San [2011-05-05 07:29:44 +0000 UTC]

Well.. I think it depends of how you made your patterns? But we glued the vinyl fabric on top of it, so it made it a little more solid. ^^'

Moth-Fox In reply to Aabenhuus [2011-05-01 00:28:48 +0000 UTC]

its just how metalic its looks and how easily it fits with the shoulder how dose it feel when you wear it dose it feel natural?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aabenhuus In reply to Moth-Fox [2011-05-01 00:38:01 +0000 UTC]

Weell.. The metallic look comes from the vinyl/latex fabric.. Hmm.. Well.. Koneko says that she can't say it for sure yet, because the pieces weren't fastened to the fabric beneath, on the picture. We put it together with tape, to see how the final result would kind of look like :3

Moth-Fox In reply to Aabenhuus [2011-05-01 00:41:07 +0000 UTC]

good job and i would say try to move it like a normal arm for a bit and just do some everyday things in it like ed would do and see if any improvments can be made or it all works well together

Aabenhuus In reply to Moth-Fox [2011-05-01 00:44:53 +0000 UTC]

Koneko says: When the pieces are fastened correctly on the fabric by the buttons, I'll try do that.

She has already written text messages on her cellphone with the hand+fingers x3
