1. Date Masamune’s Armor Tutorial For cosplayers, it’ll be interesting to make props personally. Here, tips on making Devil Kings Date Masamune’s armor are shared with you.
2. Required materials: 1. Two large pieces of black EVA with skin on, not exceeding 5mm. They are cheap and easy to be used.2. Black, golden yellow spray paint and black propylene.3. White latex and hot melt glue.4. Cap stretcher (it’s not a must-have item and difficult to be found. I got it from my pirate hat purchased on Halloween).
3. Tools: Knife (big and small blades are both needed), abrasive paper, brush, awl, kinds of measuring and line tools, calculator and various small items.
4. 1st, make the “eggshell” on the top of the head. It’s a must to make a model first, just by paper. Six triangles with the same shape are spliced together. The length and width can be adjusted depending on you.
5. 2nd, cut an EVA board according to the model (it’s better to buy a little more EVA boards and use parts with smooth surface. It’s not recommended to use the side without skin because it will be a time-consuming job to paint the latex, propylene and finally apply gloss oil, even though it really looks stunning.

7. 12th, evenly paint a layer of white latex inside the armor. This will make EVA become hard and fixed, much easier to be painted. Then, two strips are used on the helmet. One is tied up and down. Another is tied front and back.

9. 17th, cut EVA boards. Pay attention to angles on calves. 18th, cut a concave groove on the EVA board to make angles. Well control your force and the size of the groove.
10. 19th, bend at the groove and bond by hot melt glue. An angle has been completed. 20th, use hot melt glue on junction places. Then, roast it on fire and press it by fingers to fix it. Baked EVA boards can be also functional in fixing the shape.
