Waterblade Prop Kit for Genshin Impact Childe Cosplay - Detailed 3D Prints

Introducing the Waterblade Prop Kit for Genshin Impact Cosplay

In the popular open world game Genshin Impact, one of the most popular characters is the hydro bow user Tartaglia, better known by his Fatui Harbinger name "Childe". As the eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers, Childe wields hydro blades in battle in a dual stance that players have come to love.

For cosplayers and prop builders looking to recreate Childe's iconic waterblades for their own Genshin Impact cosplay, a special waterblade kit is now available. This 3D printed prop kit contains everything you need to build accurate and lightweight hydro blades just like those used by the formidable Harbinger.

Kit Features Authentic Details

This waterblade kit focuses on recreating all the small details of Childe's dual hydro blades in the most accurate way possible. The 3D printed parts capture the complex shape and silhouette of the blades perfectly. Decorative elements on the grip and blades reflect the in-game models for an authentic look.

The layered blue and silver paint detailing on the blades is also seamlessly integrated into the kit. Customers simply need to attach the detailed parts together, then do some minor finishing work like sanding and sealing to end up with a perfect set of commanding hydro blades.

Cosplay Quality and Durability

While visually accurate, this waterblade kit also keeps cosplay and regular use in mind. The blades are 3D printed out of durable materials that can withstand swinging motions and everyday handling with ease. Sections lock securely together with threaded poles to prevent loosening over time.

The kit also includes adjustable straps to comfortably wield the water blades in dual stance during long convention days. At just under 2 lbs each, they have a realistic weight but won't fatigue your arms. This blend of accuracy, durability, and ergonomics makes these excellent prop weapons for Childe cosplayers.

Straightforward Assembly for All Skill Levels

The waterblade kit uses smart modular design so even beginner prop builders can achieve amazing results. Detailed steps in the instruction guide walk you through constructing the water blades from start to finish using the included hardware.

Assembly involves screwing together various sections of the blades, grips, and pommels using either threaded joints or included hardware. Some very minor sanding and filling may be required to smooth 3D printing layer lines before priming, painting, and sealing.

The end result is screen accurate hydro blades that look like the expensive commissions seen online. But thanks to the detailed kit, even casual Genshin Impact fans can build Childe's weapons in just a few evenings for far less.

Optional Electronics Upgrade

For added flair, cosplayers can optionally install lights inside the waterblades powered by small batteries. LEDs along the edge highlight the blue accents with an icy glow. There's even space to add water vapor emitting devices for dramatic mist effects.

All necessary electronics can be purchased separately and conveniently housed inside the blades. Wires and switches route through the hollow cores keeping everything hidden. Electronics are tricky but yield amazing results for dedicated cosplayers seeking to mimic Childe's hydro powers.

Affordable Way to Suit Up as Childe

Purchasing the files and materials needed to 3D print accurate water blades or commissioning a set could cost over $300. This DIY waterblade kit manages to keep costs low while achieving fantastic cosplay props.

For just $199, you get all 3D printed parts along with hardware needed to assemble a complete matched pair. Just add primer, paint, sealant, and some elbow grease! Optional lighting components cost extra but result in dazzling effects.

This affordably priced kit makes it possible for all Genshin Impact fans to suit up as the formidable Harbinger Childe wielding his iconic hydro blades. Paired with the rest of his signature look, these props complete the transformation for the ultimate cosplay.

FAQs

What paints work best for finishing the kit?

Acrylic paints are recommended. Be sure to properly prep and prime the 3D printed parts first for best adhesion. Using acrylic sealant to protect the paint is also advised to withstand handling.

Do electronics come included in the kit?

No, electronics must be purchased separately. We recommend using small LED strips with coin cell batteries to illuminate the blades. Wiring, switches etc. must also be sourced independently but there is space to install them.

How long does it take to assemble the full kit?

If following the detailed instructions, the waterblades can be fully assembled in 2-3 evenings. Allow additional time for paint, sealants, finishing work based on your skill level and preferences.

Can the blades be customized or painted differently?

Yes! While we focused on screen accuracy, creative cosplayers can take artistic liberty. The modular design makes separating sections easy for things like custom paint jobs. Go wild within reason!
