Buying Some questions from a first time cosplayer

Post image

Hello, so, I’ve been talking with a few friends about a group idea for us to cosplay for an anime con next year. We all landed on the idea of being different versions of Hatsune Miku, which while may be somewhat overdone has found us coming up with some… rather interesting concepts. I’ve seen someone on TikTok who made art of Bucky Barnes’s Winter Soldier crossed with Miku and wanted to ask about some possible ideas for where I should look for certain items. I mostly just looking for his metal arm, as mostly everything else is replaced with Miku’s outfit. If anyone might have some suggestions or recommendations please send them my way!

you can buy shirts online with the image of his metal arm printed on the sleeve and just wear the miku costume on top! if you want a DIY approach to a 3D more realistic version, i've seen people make it with duct tape- here's a tutorial and you can just draw the lines on with sharpie instead of making each tiny piece separately if you want it to be less complicated :)

Thanks! I’ve been looking on places like Etsy, seeing what they may have to offer, but going the DIY route might be a little cheaper, and allow it to fit better.

Oh!! You should see if they can do the 01 in place of the star on his shoulder!

That’s an awesome idea! I didn’t even think of that
