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! <3EDIT: 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!

Interfacing is a special type of material used to make fabric stiffer.

SailorAnime In reply to SuperXLilXCutie [2010-06-08 23:30:22 +0000 UTC]
When I say "seal it," I mean use a sealer before you paint it. A sealer is usually a liquid in the paint section of stores. It's made for woods and things like that that are porous so that they won't just absorb the paint when it's applied to it. Does that make sense?

will it work for regular polymer clay that you put in the oven because i don't have model magic

SailorAnime In reply to Petit-Hibou [2010-05-28 06:04:14 +0000 UTC]
Like I mentioned to someone before, you probably can. The only thing I'd be worried about is the weight. Model magic is lightweight. I'm not sure how other clays will stack up.

SailorAnime In reply to Kawai-Tomboy [2010-05-24 15:02:04 +0000 UTC]
It would be pretty close. You would probably just want to make the ear parts more rounded. You know, and add the antenna XD

BeatleLove225 In reply to ??? [2010-05-19 19:56:24 +0000 UTC]
really awesome tutorial! do you think that instead of model magic (for I have none) that I could use baking clay instead?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SailorAnime In reply to BeatleLove225 [2010-05-19 20:27:40 +0000 UTC]
You definitely could. I would just be worried about the weight of it. Baking clays tend to be rather heavy, so it might fall off of the headband. That's mainly the reason I did model magic. You could definitely try it with baking clay though; and if you do, please let me know how it turns out so that I know in case other people have the same question in the future, okay? ^^

BeatleLove225 In reply to SailorAnime [2010-05-20 20:14:55 +0000 UTC]

How much Model Magic did this take? Seems they sell it in ounces.

SailorAnime In reply to Lingra [2010-05-06 03:45:03 +0000 UTC]
I get the model magic by the big tubs so I'm not too sure. But I think one of the bigger bags should do it. >.> However many ounces those are....

Question: Does the craft wire also work for the bow on Rin's headset? I'd like my bow to be upright, like yours is.

SailorAnime In reply to PuddingMcMuffin [2010-04-13 03:24:16 +0000 UTC]
Actually, I managed to get my bow to stand up with just interfacing, but I'd imagine wire would work well.

Thank you sooo much for the tutorial! Here's a pic of my completed headset!: [link]
When I moved the microphone a little, it kind of cracked. D: Do I have to be really careful with it or should I add something like a "projection" on it? XD

That looks great! <3 As for the headset, I moved it in place before it dried and haven't touched it since. lol SO I really have no idea how to move it without cracking it. Sorry. :<

I actually probably won't do one from Kaito; or if I do, not for a long time. Sorry. :< You're best bet would be to use this tutorial as a starting point and modify it to fit your needs.

Woot, thanks for this! I'm making Gakuko, and I believe she had the headset that kind of sets at the back, but it shouldn't be too hard to alter this to be able to fit what I need This is so much easier then what I was planning ^^
