CosPod: The Cosplay Podcast

Amber continues on her further adventures into casting and mold making with a book review made for cosplayers on how to cast for your props and accessories.

We chat about the never-ending discussion on cosplay accuracy vs fit. Why a cosplay fitting you far exceeds the need for accuracy. Have you seen some of those characters designs with no seams?
