Is there a cool book or something in JRWI Riptide I’m forgetting about that I could make in my props class?
(Don’t say Dark Puckered Hole DON’T)
Otherwise I’m gonna make the Book of Dragons from HTTYD but I wanna tickle the jrwi fixation in my brain if possible…

Handmade Silver-leafed headboard for Giulio Cesare in Egitto at the Wolf Trap Opera Company, Summer 2014.
Cosplay Props 101 - Base Materials
*Thank you to Google, Ezra Salamat and Cosplay SOS/101/FAQ in Facebook :)
Base Materials
- basic material used for crafting majority of the armor/prop.
Rubber sheet
- this is one of the most popular and most versatile materials used.
On how to use, refer to this link: Rubber Sheet 101
Price: (varies form location, this is based in Marikina since I think that's where this comes from considering their the shoe capital of the Philippines)
100php - 2mm (around 130php in Juan Luna, Divisoria)
200php - 4mm (around 250 in Juan Luna, Divisoria)
380php - 8mm (around 450-500 in Juan Luna, Divisoria)
*Can also be bought in Ping Pong Shoe Supply Store in Caloocan.
Pros: versatile, flexible, strong
Cons: requires sealing to provide good result, more expensive than other materials, and is available at few locations
Craft Foam
- similar to rubber sheet but normally used for scrap booking.
- has no or few thickness variety
- as far as I know, can only be bought in assorted colors in National Bookstores.
Pros: versatile, flexible, strong, readily available in NBS branches.
Cons: requires sealing to provide good result, can only be bought in small sheets
Foam Board/ Sintra Board
- it's like made of compressed sheets of paper making it very solid.
- rigid, is hard, and not bendable.
- I see people use this as based since it's really hard.
Price:
around 700-800 for a 2 x 2 meters if I remember correctly.
*Can be bought in M. Enriquez Art store in Recto, Avenida, National Bookstores and Deovir Stores.
Pros: lightweight, hard
Cons: expensive, hard to cut, shape and bend.
Paper
- newspaper is what normally pertained to here.
- used with binding like glue + water.
Pros: readily available, cheap
Cons: requires sealing, drying, impractical to use for big armors, not as sturdy as rubber sheets
Cardboard
- pertains to all types of boards, from cereal boxes to balik bayan boxes
- used as base for form since it's cheap
- can be used for minor details like embossed details
Pros: readily available, cheap
Cons: impractical to use for big armors, not as sturdy as rubber sheets, sucks when unintentionally bent
