PEAK COSPLAY!!

Hey there. Do you want to cosplay? I'm going to make a step-by-step guide on how to make your PEAK COSPLAY. This is mainly going to be about the head and I'm going to explain that.

Okay step one: buy your materials.

• Caulk

• 1/2-inch EVA foam mat (you can buy that at Harbor Freight for $10)

• Black spray plastic dip(you can buy that at Home Depot)

• Sandpaper

• Your spandex suit for your character(You need to buy this before you buy the paint so you know what color of paint you need to buy so they match)

• 3D-printed eyepieces

• If your character has a hat, then you're going to need the hat

• Contact cement

• A 3D printer-(for making the eye and face features )

• White primer and whatever color for your character

 Step 2: Making foam panels

you're going to print out a template so you can cut your foam mats. TEMPLATE. You're going to print it out and you're going to then cut eight panels for your PEAK head. You're going to take your panels and either a blow dryer or a heat gun and you're going to heat up your panels and curl them. They need to be nice and curled and curved so that it's much easier to attach the two panels together for your head. 

Step 3: Gluing the panels

Your going to take two of your panels and your contact cement. You're going to apply contact cement on both panels and then wait. You need to wait until they're tacky to the touch. Then you're going to push them together and you're going to want to do this carefully because if you misalign them you're going to have to cut it out later. Repeat this for three more quarters. Then once you have four quarters, you're going to combine two to make a half. Do this one more time. At the very end you're going to combine the two halves to make a full head. 

Step 4: Heat sealing

Now you're going to take yourHead, your firm-round sphere ball, and you're going to take your air compressor and you're going to blow up the ball. Once the ball is firm and it is pressing against the sides, you're going to take your heat gun or your blow dryer and you're going to heat up the panels. That way it can conform to the ball to make it more round. 

Step 5: Caulk the head

now you're going to take caulk. You can use your finger to apply some to your finger and rub it down the seams to smoothen it out. If you misaligned it and it's a little lopsided, you're going to need to make sure you use the caulk to smoothen that out. You're going to do that on every crease and anywhere that needs to be filled in. Now you need to wait for the caulk to cure. Once its cured you're going to take your sandpaper and sand it smooth so that there's no more excess Caulk.

Step 6: Painting

 First thing, you're going to take your plastic dip and you're going to spray it down and apply two coats of black plastic dip. Once you do that you're going to add one coat of white primer, then you're going to apply your color. This is going to be the color that your character is, so you're going to apply the color in two coats. 

Step 7: Face features 

Browse the library of PEAK face features to select your desired components, then 3D print them out. If a specific cosmetic or feature isn't currently listed on the page, leave a comment on Makerworld requesting it. All models are already designed, but since there isn't enough time to upload every single file, submitting a comment is required to get a custom part added or requested. PEAK LIBRARY
