fiberglass.... if you have time... didnt notice a time frame :: I just got done glassing my Soul Slayer it was really easy.

You could pick a new costume

don't be another Yuna out of the forty throusand others at every single Con :/ do a costume with a sevent foot crystal scythe and flowing crimson robes

I have experience working with Alginate masking and some diff types of molding but i'm not sure that would support horns to good, might be cool tho.

hrmm... Devil... hrmm... it sounds like you would need a 10ft flame etched bastard sword that I've been wanting to make care to commission one =X.

On a serious note... do you want a classical "devil" or a sekxy Angel Sanctuary one like Loki said?

I'd suggest substituting foam for wood, unless you do have those dremels etc etc... Foam can be sealed and can look nice painted..also a lot cheaper and easier to cut.


****IF you have the wood tools**** follow the wood idea, you will be glad you did

Heh... I got my ass kicked by my friend Nobuo for saying all Japanese people liked Anime ;p.

and NO he didn't use a sword.. it hurts (cries like a girl)

There are almost to many ways to name for the weapons... whats your budget and time frame

I've agreed to do the weapons

Fiberglass is dare i say.... fun? It's just so easy to do and when it dries its soooo easy to carve and paint.

Don't let Sterling scare you ;p all you have to do is buy some good gloves and work carefully. Also, wear goggles... pull back your hair or wear a hat, wear a mask and COVER your hands. Can't stress that enough. If you protect your body it will turn out alright.

Fiberglass isn't bad if you wear gloves, work safely, work outside and buy good materials. It's not as scary as some people think.

Fiberglass layering followed by an epoxy job works quite well. Use a sheet foam base or rigid insulation, you can get it at lumber yards or some hardware stores. The epoxy seals the fiberglass matting you would need to use and provides a firm base for painting. Spray the main sword (Post sanding epo...

Damn... you might as well resin cast for $100.00 and have it look better

It's kind of hard to do and expensive, but if you have the funds making resin or hard plastic casts is great. For hilts for swords or certain pieces that are finer use quikset plastic or maybe an alginate for a mold. From there you can fill your mold with a number of different easily available compo...

If you can go cardboard, break the 12.00$ bank on some ghetto sheet foam and spraypaint. It may look awful, but come on, it's better than cardboard .

Lmao btw my sig is true. email me if you want a pic of some of my early constructions with duct-tape and cardboard gundams.
