Unveiling

[nendil]

Leaving for school tomorrow! Before that, though, I leave here a progressive record of the creation of my brother's Halloween props. Hopefully, I'll be getting photos of him in full costume next month =)

Warning: Construction Zone
It's the Chicken Sword! Can it kill Cuccos?
Begin the painting process
If there's one thing a palette knife is good for, it's simulating tree bark.
100% cardboard, I kid you not.
...Well, cardboard and acrylics.
Masking tape, useful stuff
Interior structure of the scabbard. Turns out it's a tight fit, I should've used two layers of cardboard for padding.
Finishing up, all glued and stapled
Ready for adventure!

Who knew one could make such spiffy stuff with cardboard?

Holy moly, the simulated tree-bark on the shield is amazing.

Your brother is going to look too cute to live once the costume's done.
