I basically followed this tutorial found here:
Mine turned out ok, but this is my first prop like this. So my shaving wasn't the best and it's sort of rough around the handle's and tight spot's. Also there are obvious gaps around the part's I had to hot glue on. The guy I watched filled in his with wood glue, but I'm not sure if that's going to help to much or not. I'm trying to think of something more like bondo that I could spread on and then sand it down afterward's to make it look super smooth and professional looking. I also want to make sure I don't use something that will eat at the foam (the guy mentioned that he noticed with lower quality wood glue's, it started eating away at the foam). I'm also broke, so the cheaper the better lol. Any advice would be much appreciated!
