your Voltron cosplays bring me so much joy 😩 can I ask about your bayard though?? like where did it come from?? it's the most accurate to the that I've seen, it's so great!!

Thank you and yeah, I definitely can write up a quick post! I built mine and a friend’s super fast in like 4 days and then just never wrote about how I did them, so I can do that now! They’re a bit messy because of how fast I had to built them - the edges are kinda rough and the paint is kinda janky - but what I do really, really like about them is the shape. 

I started by sketching out a paper template that fit my hand. I don’t have pictures of doing that, but I basically just measured my hand, pulled up 10 references pictures from the show, and then sketched out bayards on construction paper until I found a shape that I liked. 

I then transferred that template onto EVA foam and cut it out. EVA foam is the entire base of the bayard - basically the entirety of the black part on the final bayard. I used an inner core of 4mm foam sandwiched between two layers of 10mm foam and held together with contact cement. The bayard on the left in the picture is this stage: 

After I had that base shape, I dremeled the edges down to get the bayard’s proper shape - basically you spend a couple hours with a hand held dremel tool with a sanding bit and bevel the edges and round them off. That’s the bayard on the right in the pic. 

The next part is the white and colored details of the bayards. I sketched out templates for those on paper, cut them out of 2mm craft foam, fit them around the base bayard, and then attached them with contact cement. 

I then primed them with 2 layers of Mod Podge and a layer of Plasti Dip. Then I painted them with a 2 layers of black spray paint all over and hand painted the white and colored parts with acrylic paint. My bayard was specifically for a Sailor Scout version of Lance so it has blue glitter over top of the blue paint in this picture, but you’d just skip the glitter if you’re making a regular Paladin bayard. 

The paint is kinda janky close up, but it photographs really well at a normal distance so I really love it and it’s one of my favorite props!

I think the funniest thing about these pictures is that Tuxedo Coran aka @mizuaoi didn’t tell us what was going to happen and just told us to stay turned around for 10 more seconds. So we hear like *skitterskitterskitter* behind us and didn’t know what she was doing until we saw the pictures. 

Well done, Wacky Space Uncle.

Hold up, let me guess: The Blue Lion takes the most handsome slash best pilot of the bunch?

If I could get away with wearing this entire outfit in my everyday life, I would. Because between the twirly skirt, curly wig, and glittery cat ears, it’s the cutest thing I’ve ever worn and I always want to be this cute. Also because I love Lance. So much. I just want him to be happy.
