It's designed to be useful for everyone from the beginner all the way up to the experienced craftsman looking to expand his or her repertoire. The author's clear, step-by-step approach to explanations and his entertaining, humorous style of writing make it easy for readers to follow along and reproduce amazing-looking creations. This standalone sequel to Make: Props and Costume Armor introduces a host of new tools and techniques, including:

  • Reusing existing objects to make props
  • Working with foam and thermoplastics
  • Creating clear parts with resins and vacformed plastics
  • Incorporate electronics (including programmables) into props and armor
  • Designing costumes with non-human outlines, including "dog-leg" stilts
  • Making storage and display bins, racks, and stands

    This book is for cosplayers, science fiction and fantasy fans, film fans, comic fans, anime fans, and anyone who gets carried away on Halloween. Written in a casual, humorous style that includes detailed descriptions of methods and materials, the easy-to-follow instructions are accompanied by lots of full-color photos to clearly illustrate processes.
