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!

It'll probably work for Luka with a little modification.

Oh, this is so helpful. I've been searching for ideas of material to make the headset. Styrofoam doesn't seem right to me because it's too light, while I can't use polymer clay because I don't have an oven. *le gasps*
This is so helpful and you did it beautifully, thanks again.

That's awesome! Do you have one for a one ear piece? (Kaito)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SailorAnime In reply to KittyChow [2009-11-05 08:23:22 +0000 UTC]
I would guess you just would make one earpiece instead of two. This stuff is really lightweight, so it shouldn't throw off the balance too much.

KittyChow In reply to SailorAnime [2009-11-06 08:07:13 +0000 UTC]
Lightweight, that's awesmome. But the one I'm trying to make, it's like, without the head band, would I have to get like some wire to stick around my ear?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SailorAnime In reply to KittyChow [2009-11-06 16:57:07 +0000 UTC]
What I'd probably do is put the wire on in place of the headband, then cover it using the wig fibers. It will make it seem invisible.

Oh I should ask you, is model magic heavy in weight? The way I was going to make the mic part was to make it out of sculpty but it's heavy after it bakes. My Neku MP3 player felt like it weighed a ton and it's not even all that big.

SailorAnime In reply to AuroraCelsius [2009-09-17 06:21:37 +0000 UTC]
Model magic is really lightweight. Even the Ulquiorra mask I made wasn't more that 2 lbs. total.

AuroraCelsius In reply to SailorAnime [2009-09-17 14:07:27 +0000 UTC]
Okay, then I'll have to pick some up. Hopefully Wal-Mart will have it. haha. I'm all tempted to start making mine for Len. Although I was thinking about making some parts differently than you did. Maybe if I remember do take pictures, I'll do a tutorial. I meant to do that for when I did the second version of Neku's headphones. But clearly, I remembered.

SailorAnime In reply to AuroraCelsius [2009-09-17 16:26:04 +0000 UTC]
Haha, yeah I'm sure parts of my tutorial aren't the best. And if you can't find Model magic at Wal-Mart, I know they have it at Michael's.

It's not that. I just had some concepts that I thought could work. Now I'm wondering because of your tutorial if yours would work better. haha. Awesome. I'd have to drive a ways to it, but it's most definitely within my reach.
