So I want to cosplay as Mayuri from Steins;gate and make a gel banana. How would I make it or get that texture? I was thinking of getting a stalk of bananas for the day from the grocery store and then attaching the gel banana somehow but I'm not sure what material I'd use. Is there a name for those "jelly" things that some cheap keychains are made of? They're like semi hardened, non-edible jello. I was hoping to make it sort of see-through because they're gel bananas but if not, would something like air dry clay or model magic work?
My friend once made a jello mold heart for a project (jell-o and a little food dye), and it looked awesome. And it was edible! You might have to make a banana mold but it could work...
>>4631383The problem is that I'll be carrying it around in the heat of summer... Was hoping for a non-edible solution.
I want to suggest resin, but since I don't have good experience I can't recommend anything specific.But go looking around at different plastics you could cast it out of.
Make banana moldMelt a lot of condoms Add food coloring?Possibly bad advice?
>>4631811I've never made anything out of resin. I've only seen people make small jewels out of it. Do you think it'd be reasonable to make something of this scale out of resin? That might be a good idea though, thank you.
>>4631803Use gelatin for prosthetics.
Perhaps silicon would work better?
>>4631840A normal-sized banana shouldn't be an issue.
