![]() ![]() To pattern my shoulder piece I started by pinning a piece of pattern paper to my form and drawing the basic shape of my piece while referring to my sketch, I also marked important points like the shoulder seam. This is saran wrap trick a very popular and effective method for creating patterns for both foam and Worbla accessories, and I'll show you a version of it in our lesson on Worbla. If you are making something more fitted, like a breastplate, you can use the tape and saran wrap method, like ErikaT5 uses in this great Leather Corset Instructable. This method is good for pieces like this shoulder armor that don't have to fit as precisely against the body. If you don't have a dress form you can just use yourself, or get a friend to act as your mannequin while you get some basic shapes and proportions. ![]() My go-to patternmaking method for most accessories is to make a mock-up in paper and oak tag (thin cardboard used for pattern drafting) using a dress form and my own body. There are many ways to create patterns for EVA foam accessories, and the best methods for patternmaking will vary depending on what kind of accessory you're creating. ![]() For my shoulder piece I used 8mm and 4mm foam, and for the core of my Worbla headpiece (which we'll talk about in the next lesson) I used 2mm. To create costume pieces with both structure and details you'll need to have a few thicknesses on hand. My go-to site is TNT Cosplay Supply - they sell large sheets of smooth, dense high quality foam in both black and white and a variety of thicknesses. This awesome EVA Foam Armor Instructable by Towering Props has a great description of these different types of foam and links for where to buy them.ĮVA foam has now become such a popular material that now there are some dedicated sites selling foam specifically for costumes. Craft foam sheets and rolls, which are thinner and smooth on both sides, are sold at places like Michaels. The first two can often be found at hardware stores and will usually have a texture, which can be nice if you are creating certain kinds of armor, but if you want a blank slate to work on it can be annoying. In order to get EVA foam, you used to have to buy products intended for other uses like thick tiles used for floor covering, softer floor mats that come in rolls, and smaller sheets or rolls of thin craft foam. Some kinds will be denser or softer than others, some will have a texture on one or both sides, and you will find it in a wide variety of thicknesses. Painting and Finishing Worbla and EVA Foamīecause EVA Foam is used for so many purposes besides costumes, it can be sourced from a lot of convenient places in slightly different forms. Check out the rest of this collection for instructions on how to create more pieces of the costume. This instructable is also part of my How to Become a Superhero collection which is a series of tutorials that walk you through designing and constructing your own superhero costume. If you are intrigued after this instructable and want to dive deeper, check out this collection of superhero related projects where you'll find a lot of other great EVA foam tutorials. The world of EVA foam costuming is a rabbit hole, and many foam armor projects are ridiculously complex and take hundreds of hours and a lot of patience to build, but this is an beginner lesson designed to introduce you to some of the basic techniques through the creation of a relatively simple shoulder piece for a superhero costume. With enough skill and the right tools and patience, it can be finished to look like almost any material. It is especially beloved by cosplayers and prop makes because it is lightweight, cheap, and can easily be cut, carved, and even heat shaped to create interesting forms. EVA Foam is a great material for constructing costumes and props of all different kinds, from period armor and swords to slick futuristic robots. ![]()

![]() With time I’ve become very familiar with the car’s infotainment system, too, and now use the small touch-sensitive pads on the steering wheel for almost everything. I just love it, especially with the 64-colour ambient lighting that can also subtly cycle through the colours, which I find oddly pleasing – mostly because my three-year-old daughter thinks it’s the best thing in any car, ever. ![]() The single-piece screen, the heavily bolstered seats, the classy analogue clock, the general lustre and feel of the cabin – all that characterises the car far more than its powertrain and, I suspect, is why you’d go for the Mercedes over its rivals. Still, even when it’s not pre-heated, the interior in the E-Class is a huge selling point. I have a cheap off-peak tariff, but don’t want to faff about with a cable at midnight, so being able to plug in when I get home but delay the charge is critical. But not having basic timed charging – a ‘charge in these hours’ option – is a huge oversight. I can even set the dial design and ambient lighting from my phone more importantly the app has been great at connecting to the car and updating me on the charging state. To me this feels like the ultimate luxury in the misery of winter. I’ve connected the ‘Mercedes me’ app, which I’m enjoying because it makes it easier to adjust the climate pre-set and get the car toasty before I set off in the morning. Other than that, I have to say that our E-Class is just a delight. This has only happened a handful of times but can be a tad alarming. Go for a rapid getaway in electric mode and the E-Class can also have the odd big hesitation as it decides whether to fire up the diesel engine. It’s nothing unexpected given the soggy weather we’ve had, but enough to make you think twice before pulling out sharply since you have to factor in a bit of wheelspin fun. Both of them will do 0-62mph in less than six seconds and have more than 300bhp, so there’s no great surprise that I’ve been getting a few issues with traction in our de. Mind you, the electric motor does make these plush executives rapid. You can read the complete details in our sister magazine DrivingElectric and on its website, but both cars are fine company, and the lesson is that you must plug them in regularly to benefit from the tech. A huge win for our de, then – but it’s not as much as you’d expect, and doing the maths over three years suggests that the lower insurance cost, depreciation and leasing costs of the E 300 e offset a significant chunk of those fuel costs and make a cost comparison over 30,000 miles closer than you’d think. ![]() In reality, the disparity is bigger than you might imagine the petrol E 300 e managed some 20mpg less than the diesel when we tested both. These official figures are fairly useless for gauging real-world economy. The two versions have an identical claimed electric range of 31 miles, and we’ll ignore the official combined economy of 217 vs 188mpg for diesel and petrol respectively. Such is the life of a car that is often the support vehicle to photoshoots or a commuter car into central London.īut one of the most interesting aspects of the plug-in E-Class is that you can have a 2.0-litre petrol engine instead of this diesel. Not bad, given that I do a fair bit of slower urban stuff as well as motorway miles. It’s the reason you’d opt for the diesel plug-in hybrid Mercedes E-Class, and so far we have seen it average 49mpg excluding the battery running. The fuel economy on the E 300 de has always been a focus for our test. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For entrepreneurs and independent producers today you have to have a real sense of business that is equal to your sense of story. It’s the position that you kind of have to know something about everything to do the job effectively. Yeah, I think it’s partially why you become a producer in the first place. I’m sure it’s more fun to delve into these different genres too. We’re driven by human stories, originality, and the partnership. We generally ask a couple of questions: Has this been done before and does it need to exist? It doesn’t matter what genre it is, but is this a good version of that thing for the audience that’s going to respond to it? We’re not driven by it to be comedy, to be horror, to be drama. ![]() For us that oftentimes can be more important than the actual pitch. More often than not you’re picking a partner. You’ve produced The Messenger, Get Out, Band-Aid, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies-that’s a pretty wide range of genres. Together, they went on to produce their most successful endeavor yet: Jordan Peele’s directorial debut and four-time Oscar nominee Get Out. In 2016, he partnered with co-founder Sean McKittrick to form QC Entertainment, sprinkling some nutrition in the popcorn, as he says, by producing socially-conscious entertainment.

You'll gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges, the interdependencies, the compromises and, ultimately, the opportunities to make a difference. ![]() For those passionate about an issue, double degrees offer an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding.įor example, a double degree in Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Science will allow you to study today’s environmental challenges from two distinct perspectives. You may be very clear about what you want to learn and what you want to achieve. It adds to your understanding and allows for cross-disciplinary learning where what you learn in one degree will bolster your other.

Its as if she is running away from the confrontation. The owner brings about a whole new definition to rude, she is always running around from person to person and never assists you when you actually need to say something to her. Really ladies? That is just the icing on the cake. The women that give pedicures are BEYOND rude!
