Description I've made a tutorial for how to make a Vocaloid headset. Feel free to use it. If there are any other tutorials that you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see what can do! <3

EDIT: I've decided to include Frequently Asked Questions in this description since I've gotten so many of the same questions. ^^ I'll add more questions as they come up. Hopefully this will help clear things up. If you ask a question that is in the FAQ's area, I'll be less likely to answer. Sorry. :<

SECOND EDIT: suggested putting a glow-in-the-dark paint on the yellow and blue foam to make it glow. I think it's a good idea and definitely worth a shot!

FAQ:

Q.: How are the ear pieces attached to the headband?
A.: I made a small indent into the ear pieces. Then, I put a heavy duty glue (like E-6000 or Liquid Fusion) into the indent and pressed the headband into it. I held it there until it held on its own (about 30 minutes); then, I let it fully cure, which took about 24 hours.

Q.: How did you make your bow?
A.: I now have a tutorial for that as well! : D [link]

Q.: How did you attach the bow to the headset?
A.: The headset and the bow are actually 100% separate. In all the official reference picture I had come across, the bow is actually slightly behind the headset, so I just bobby-pinned the bow in place behind the headset.

Q.: You made this tutorial for the twins' headsets. Can I use it for (insert other Vocaloid)? Or can you make a tutorial for (insert other Vocaloid)'s headset?
A.: I made this tutorial since I was already making the headset for Rin. While I'm sure you can use this tutorial as a basis for the other Vocaloids, I don't have any plans on making different tutorials for the different headsets.

Hope you enjoy!

SailorAnime In reply to RareCandyAddict [2010-10-14 04:22:48 +0000 UTC]

I think Kaito's are different, but this tutorial can be used as a spring board for your own headphones. ^^

omg so helpful, but if I needed to make megurine luka headphones, do you think id be able to get some gold model magic? x3

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SailorAnime In reply to Randomocityetc [2010-09-23 18:06:44 +0000 UTC]

You could just use the white and paint it gold. It holds paint really well. (Plus I don't think Model magic comes in gold :< )

I'm putting your tutorial to work! I'm currently at step 7, waiting for the D shapes and the mic to dry over night ^^ This tutorial has been very helpful and user-friendly, but I had a few questions. What do you use to seal the model magic foam? Also, I was wondering if it would be possible to get a pic of the inside of the headphone, so I can see how you attached it and what it's supposed to look like when it's done. Thanks!~

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SailorAnime In reply to Chellips [2010-08-30 15:59:55 +0000 UTC]

The sealer is actually just that. It's called Multi-purpose sealer and it's used to keep from being absorbed by porous materials (like wood and craft foam). And taking a picture of the inside of the headphones wouldn't really help unfortunately, since I just sort of dug a small ditch into the model magic once it was dry and forced the headband and glue inside of it. It doesn't pierce all the way through. Hope that helps ^^

I was just wondering if there's another side on the interior of the earpieces

Nothing aside from what was posted in step 11 (with the craft foam and vinyl.

fantastic tutorial~!very useful! just one question: where/ how did you glue the earpieces on the headband? thanks~!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SailorAnime In reply to Dissonant-Harmony [2010-08-08 23:27:58 +0000 UTC]

I actually dug a little ditch into the earpiece using the end of the headband, then added a heavy-duty glue into the ditch. It took a few tries to get it to stay though.
