Pepakura and paper mache energy sword

[dennis555]

well, I started an energy sword for a halloween costume last week. I don't live in a country that sells bondo, resin or fiberglass or that stuff so I had to use papier mache.I had very little time to do it because of school and homework.If I'm lucky My parents could buy me silicon!! YAY!

Pics soon!

It looks like its coming along fairly well, Unfournatley there is some warping, but I assume you should be able to fix that.

Every country sells fiberglass, resin and autobody filler.
Tell me in what country you live and i can tell you wich stores sell it.

Vietnam....

Vietnam....

Hi, you live in How chi minh, Vietnam...
I know a large exporter that produces all their fiberglass over there.. I will get you the exect retailer details later.
But as for now you should search from your local boat shops (since there are more boats then cars over there).

And boats are usually made from fiberglass or wood.
That is the best place to look from.

I will get back to this topic soon and try to find you a retail store.

ps. It might be a little more difficult to find an automotive filler over there (since it is still a developing country).
And there are not as many cars over there...

 

[dennis555]

yeah ty pm me when u got the names

 

[dennis555]

Should I try to vacuform it?
My dad says that I might be able to get one but is the plastic hard enough?
