This was only possible thanks to /u/Rockran.

Link to his post

His post had much cheaper parts than what I ended up with but I paid a premium to have my parts come in 3 days instead of 3 weeks.

EL Tape (Didn't use the battery pack that came with this one) ($9)

EL String with battery back w/ built-in splitter (Didn't use the white string) ($13)

3M VHB Clear Mounting Tape ($5)

A helmet to apply the products onto (I used a Bell RS-1 Corsa sprayed with black PlastiDip)


No need for an instructional video or "design string". Use plenty of normal tape beforehand to plan out the design. I probably went through 20 ft. of tape before I came to my final design. Cut thin pieces of the clear mounting tape and run the wire/string alongside it. I also used the tape to mount the battery box but I don't trust it long-term. Will eventually figure out a more stable way of mounting it.

Be meticulous and precise and the results should turn out amazingly. I spent around an hour and 20 min. cutting the tape and running the EL string and 20 min. doing the EL tape.

Now, as none of us have actually seen the final product of the official LightMode Helmet kit, I can't say if what they are providing is the same thing. My helmet looks terrible in daylight (as seen in the not-in-the-dark photos) but for sure looks just like the product being shown in their promo video.

If and when I get my MF, I'm going to try this guy out

Also, is there a spot for the batteries?

I've done a leotard-esque suit and sewed EL wire onto it. Just gotta have somewhere to attach the battery pack. I bought Sam's disc from ToysRUs (it has a switch where it will light up every few seconds and with the press of a button lights up more and makes noise) and just held on to it/wore it around my arm when I was in costume.

I think for Flynn's coat you would want to go with EL tape for the sake of being true to film. You could probably tape or glue the back of it to the inside of a hooded cloak. I've not used the tape, but the EL wire works fantastically, I've worn the suit twice in two years to long parties and have yet to replace the batteries. The wires don't get hot and can take a lot of strain too! Best of luck to you.

I've been cosplaying Voltron since 2016 with the group of Paladins that I also created. Believe it or not this was my first EVA foam build. I went into it with very little experience w/ EVA foam and foam smithing in general. I can knit pick everything wrong with my costumes and how I'd do it differently.

I am currently working on a version 2.0 for my Voltron and all the Paladins. I'll be doing many things differently, but i will likely take things I hated about my costumes and change them as well as take inspiration from Dan Morash's Paladin armor. IMO, his is the closest to blending both screen accuracy and functionality.

With that said, my advice on the armor parts from head to toe. This info is all the things I will be doing for my version 2.0

  • Helmet - use the standard floor mat EVA foam for this. Also, I think Evil Ted and Punished Props gave a pattern for it free.

  • Lens - you can use colored gels or clear plastic sheets

  • Chest & Back & Collar - use the standard floor mat EVA foam. The thickness will provide strength and rigidity.

  • Chevron (emblem) - use your standard 2mm craft foam.

  • Rib Covers - use anywhere between 6mm - 8mm EVA foam. Reason for this is that it will be easier for you to allow your arms to hang to your sides w/out adding additional thickness to get in the way of movement.

  • Jet Pack - use standard floor mat EVA foam. It will be hollow, you can create an opening on the inside back piece of your armor to allow access to it. You can store your phone, wallet, or whatever you want in it! For mine, I stored their battery packs for the lights.

  • Shoulder Covers (pauldrons?) - use the standard floor mat EVA foam. Again, for strength and rigidity. It's not really an area that has a huge range of motion that the thickness will impede your movement. But try not to affix it directly to the chest armor. Doing that will limit your range of motion. Instead, use elastic straps to connect them.

  • Biceps - use 6mm foam for this. This is for better range of motion and less restriction.

  • Elbows - you can use anything for this really, anywhere from 2mm - 12mm can work. The thicker you go, the more contouring and shaping you can do.

  • Forearms (bracers) - use anywhere between 6mm - 8mm. The flexibility will allow to easily slip it on and off. Although, if you find that the fitting is going to be more snug than loose, then you will want to go w/ the 10mm - 12mm (floor mat) foam for this. The durability and rigidity will help in prying it on and off w/out ripping the foam. Use 2mm craft foam for the detailing.

  • Belt - use 6mm - 8mm foam

  • Thighs - use 6mm foam for better range of motion and it will also allow you to walk more casually than using floor mat EVA.

  • Knees - use 4mm - 12mm for this, it's really preference. Personally I'd go w/ the standard floor mat EVA foam (12mm) because it does serve a purpose. You can get on your knees to take kneeling poses etc...

  • Shin/Calves - similar to your forearms, this can be anywhere between 6mm - 12mm. Depending on how snug you make it, the rigidity or flexibility will be a factor. The detailing can be done w/ 2mm craft foam and the round circles on the ankles can be done w/ the floor mat EVA.

  • Feet Covers - this is optional. I've seen people just go w/ a standard white shoe or a black shoe. For my first set, I had my guys wear black shoes and had the foot cover attached to the shin/calves armor. I don't think I'll do it any differently this time around.

  • Lighting - you could opt to just paint them in, which is effective in of itself. Or if you want to add lights to all, you can go w/ EL Tape & EL Panels

  • Paint - I used and will likely use the Rustoleum spray paints again. When I met Joaquim Dos Santos last year, he actually asked me about my paint and complemented at how accurate they were to the color match.

    Additionally: Here is a post I did for people wanting to get into foam smithing. I highly recommend getting your foam from TNT Cosplay supply. For the Floor Mat EVA, you can easily get them at most hardware stores.

Never too early to start! In fact I just went to Walmart the other day to look at patterns for my younger sisters and I :)
There's lots of simple and generic options out there that require minimal assembly, but are you looking for something more specific? From like a game/tv show/movie? I'll go ahead and make a list of generic costumes you can make - just tell me if you're looking for something more specific!

-zombie
-ninja
-Harry Potter character
-stick person
-pirate
-cyberpunk character (just wear a dark hoodie and line it with el wire)
-steampunk character
-plague doctor
-someone from Rick and Morty/Futurama/basically any adultswim cartoon
-Left 4 Dead
-TF2
-something from Payday would look really cool
-Fallout
-grim reaper

I don't actually know, it was just an example of the types of things you can find out there. Amazon has them as well. EL Panel and EL Wire. Though in that case you would need to do a bit of splicing and soldering to make it run off of one battery pack.

EL stands for Electro-Luminescent, meaning when you run a current through the material it gives off light.

You mean like this?

u/Dark-Hero · 1 pointr/halloweenhelp

I think you'll want to go with EL tape, amazon has it decently cheap. Each piece will come with an inverter on each end, and you can cut it it half and have two working pieces. I'm sure you would be able to spirit gum it to yourself. EL wire wont get your effect fully since it is a lot thinner.
