Ill be restarting the build. I didn't make it in time, the rest of the costume came out but the sword still had issues. I wanted to make the weapon harder so I covered it in bondo, and it became way too heavy. Ill work on it again and follow a different method and post the results.

Awesome, well I have been sanding for a while, by hand... I have an orbital sander but it won't sand this thing at all... but I wanted to ask what could be good for filling areas where foam has deteriorated or fallen off due to oversanding? I have one good piece (the XPS foam, the purple one...

Ok, I have a few builds, but the more I work on these the more I feel like the way I went about it was wrong... I felt okay doing this step, But now I feel that i have a bunch of stacks that will be difficult to sand without breaking the overall piece... Would it be better...

This is awesome! How long do you think this whole process should take? Using your method? Do you or anyone else have any sugguestions for my current build? If the insulating foam is easier to shape ill pick that up after work and work on an additonal build. I have a week to complete this but...

Hello all, I was hoping for some more feedback. I have started and I have used EVA foam and have hot glued everything together. Using PVC pipe for a skeleton, but there are some gaps here and there... Would those gaps be enough to cause me problems later? I was thinking of trying to cover the...

bumping, hoping for any details.

Good Morning 405th, I come to you with a question on prop design. I actually am hoping to get some advice as to how I can go about creating a weapon belonging to Strider Hiryu (Capcom Fame: Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Strider etc...) I was hoping to get some direction as to which method...
