Self ProCosplay - Extremely Disappointed

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I was super excited to order from https://www.procosplay.com/ after I'd read from many redditors and seen so many upvotes, but I couldn't be more disappointed in their customer service around an honest mistake..

Apparently after my order was placed I was sent an email notifying me that I'd 'agreed' to any purchase over $800 requiring a money transfer versus a credit card payment.. I understand a policy like this, but outside of the email - which there were several post purchase (not abnormal), everything else looked like all was on the up-in-up... mostly that I was debited $800+++ from my account that was never credited..

Instead of.. ever receiving a credit.. I was left in limbo for weeks watching an order 'processing' and when I asked weeks later what was going on thru their customer service channels in three different messages I received zero response until I hit the nuclear button after nearly a month and emailed and messaged every social account I could find for them only to be pointed back to their policy and the email I'd missed.

I offered to pay an overnight fee, only to be shrugged off to cancel and resubmit an order..

Fairly trash response in my opinion given that I'd used their 'regular' channels..

I hope they choose to do better in the future because the reviews I've seen made me really excited, but now my halloween is shot for getting a next level experience..

Help Plastidip not settling correctly?

12 Upvotes

SOS. This is my first time using plastidip and something is happen and I don’t know why. I used regular eva foam and weldwood contact cement, as well as using the contact cement to adhere details made from hot glue.

I used about 3-4 layers of mod podge, and allowed it to fully dry, and then used plastidip on top.

I saw the recommendations that you should lay it on to the point where the piece looks fully wet. This is after about 4 fairly-heavy coats, and I have no idea why I can’t get it to settle evenly. It’s like these weird, random places on the corset suddenly became plastidip-phobic. The white spots held NONE of the plastidip.

And I have no idea why!! SOS please. I can start again and make another, but I don’t want this to happen again!

Hi everyone! This is the first time I'm messing around with HD foam and with cosplay I guess...anyway I know it's a bit rough around the edges and it's very much work in progress but I have to finish before Halloween ( I'm making it for my 6y old son. I guess I need attention because I'm super proud of it. And wanted to show it off! All constructive criticism and sarcasm is welcome and will be ignored by default (mostly)😉 of course design isn't mine so please don't ban me! xD I got it off a YouTube channel called SKS Props

Hi folks! So, I'm making a facehugger from Alien for my Halloween costume, and it's all sculpted, but I don't know how to paint it. The main problem is that the legs are flexible latex/rubber (made from a Halloween spider decoration) and need to be able to move and bend slightly. Does anyone know what kind of paint I should use? Thanks! (Pics of the prop and reference attached)

Edit: I figured it out! I used a mix of liquid latex and acrylic paint and it worked like a dream :) pic of the finished prop to come

Help Foaming TPU (TPU AIr) Question

2 Upvotes

Heyo, looking to print larger props (like a Buster Sword) out of foaming TPU.
Wanted to ask a few things to debate if maybe I rather do it with carbon fiber.

For those who have used foaming tpu,

  • What are the settings you used? I'm using a P1S
  • Is the claim of 1KG being "technically" 2KG of material true? (Since it expands, it's just their claim)
  • How viable would it be for a bigger prop similar to that of a buster sword? There will be a rod/pvc pipe.

I've seen how it handles armor pieces well, but haven't heard much on the prop department
