Thanks! ^^
I could have sworn I was watching you earlier, but I guess I forgot to hit the watch button.

Thanks for the tasset attaching tutorial. The way I rigged mine for my skyrim armor is pretty bad. Just hot glued velcro into the chest piece and had a riveted strip of velcro slapped onto it. Heat + sweat = unbonding of hot glue...
It was a nightmare.

No problem  

I have lots more tutorials planned, too, but I'm not sure when I'll find the time to make them.  Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of hot glue.  It's good for embellishments, but I wouldn't trust it to hold heavy pieces together.

I haven't really experimented much with adhesives other than hot glue. I can do castings with the stuff, but I don't really know what kind to use for certain materials.  The other day I got some sintra, but I don't know what works good with it.

Slow drying stuff like E6000 takes quite a while (and i kinda lack patience lol).  

Would contact cement or some kind of epoxy be more suitable?

I haven't really worked with sintra so I'm probably not the best person to ask.  I've seen people use various kinds of super glue for that purpose, and you can get the kind that dries very quickly.

Not sure if you were also asking about adhesives for velcro, but I usually either use the industrial strength kind that already has a strong glue on the back or I use a very strong fabric glue.  The fabric glue holds up better than hot glue, but it takes an hour or two to dry.

Thanks!
Your Nightingale armor and make up skills are badass! ^^
The bow looks amazing, and I never would have guessed that you used expanding foam.

Thank you so much! I have lost count on how many hours I have spent on that bow, haha. I really like making my stuf fout of expanding foam, the only downside is that it is so brittle. The bow is not in any way functional. Anyways I'm glad you like it ;D

I would have never guessed that it was foam!
I've only worked with the expanding stuff once, with disastrous results. I can't even make a homemade torso mannequin of my own body lol.
But you definitely have the foam nailed down!

haaha! Exspanding foam can be a bit tricky,  but once you get it right you can create some amazing stuff c:
