If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Once you have the fabric tattered and glued down we're just going to add some "Web Rope" to tie it to ourselves, this helps when it comes to putting the costume on. The only complaint is that it didn’t like up perfectly but there’s nothing you can really do about that since it’s 3d printed. Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.
Thread it through three more holes and you have these "Web Rope" "bridges" you can hang things off of which I'll go into in the next step. It justifies all the work I put into to this massive project, to see I helped people make an awesome Costume or prop. I start with a base coat of black paint on most of the armor pieces, then dry brush a silver all over the black except this time it was a much stronger dry brush to the point of it barely even being dry brushing. On the other side, create 2 small loops for your button to go through out of leftover fabric and attach them the same way. Right sides together, attach the neckline of your collar to the neckline of your cape, so that the back opening of the collar aligns with either edge of the slit you created.With a quote like that from the game Hollow Knight I felt inspired and knew I needed to pay the game justice in something I create. I recommend keeping the map on the same level as the mantis claw on the belt or higher as I personally feel it looks better though that's entirely subjective.
However this time we don't add any dry brushing or detail colors like the the other armor pieces instead we are going to be adding something to the back.This allowed for the gaps in the sword to be filled and when sanded after drying the sword looked like once piece. Keep an eye on filament make sure it doesn't run out, Make sure the print doesn't fail mid way (If there are small gaps they won't matter and I'll explain why in a second), and finally make sure to keep an eye as each part is printing.
And when it dries do not sand it, if you put too much on in one area you can try sanding that down to reapply but otherwise don't sand the Spackle down. However I've saved you the effort and gathered all the models I made/used in the making of this costume. parts will require sanding- I start with 120 then prim with a rustolium filler primer from home depot. Once the bandage is all grungy from the water you can hang it out to dry and rip small pieces off when you need to make "Web Rope". There's no tabs or really any room to do this so you need to put hot glue on the thin lines in between each part and then hold the two pieces together until the hot glue dries.The Hollow Knight's helmet is one of the most iconic pieces of the character which is why the most effort has to go into it. Once you have your design figured out, carve out pieces of your foam along your crack designs – do not go so far with your box cutter that you hit your cardboard. Wearing this unique mask will leave a deep and lasting impression on others whenever you have the opportunity.
Even though the base coat alleviated the need for a black wash a brown wash is still needed to show off a rusty sort of effect in most of the armor pieces. Initially I felt as if the floor mat was too thick so after an hour of trying I attempted to saw through the middle of the mat. Assembly for all the parts follows the same basic principles which are: Glue along the lines, Reinforce the back of each seam, Apple spackle to the front to cover the seams, Sand down the spackle. I wore the cosplay to a convention without adding Velcro, just having everything secured with the "Web Rope" and everything fell apart. To turn a bandage roll into "Web Rope" you first need to stretch out the roll until the bandage is about to tear.I tried to have all the pieces of the "Web Rope" meet at the back where I could tie them together, However if I could not tie a piece of "Web Rope" then I would hot glue it down. You can then tie a knot of the end to make sure the "Web Rope" doesn't slip back through and tie the other end of the "Web Rope" to the belt.
Great Deal
