cosplay prop making process

finished product

the weapon i'm making. Violet Fear

cutting out the rough shape

cut the corners

drawn the guide lines

after cutting the slopes, it's pretty obvios the first time is on the right, which is very fail

repair time

replacing the broken part

inserting wire support ( although this replacing was a very bad idea in the end, it didn't cause fatal damage)

playing with static! magic!

first injury

plaster cures everything doesn't it?

my workplace - on the corridor outside my house

cut out of the center hard foam support, one of the ideas my dad gave me

however, it epic failed cuz the fulcrum point is way too small

so my dad found another piece of some ultra hard paper-ish thing, that's very hard to cut. ..

and ended up hurting myself again. a piece of the cutter embedded into my thumbnail

and the worse part is another deep cut on my little finger. blood is dripping down pretty fast

rushed to the toilet to fix it up

dripping the blood into the toilet bowl while waiting for the blood flow to stop

now i know blood stains are pretty hard to clean away. there's also this blood small lingering in the air. thankfully i clean up everything just before my neighbour comes out

that brown piece is the super hard paper thing. these 3 pieces are going to make up the central hilt

put together it looks like this

putting together the hilt using glue gun

glued

cutting the indentation in the blade

before gluing

my sword in bankai mode. jkjk.

this is how the inside looks like with the hilt as the main(and only support)
