Paper Craft!

Cardboard sword for cosplay
Guess what sword it is?

Something that I’d been working on since many months ago.. =P It’s a sword for a friend’s cosplay.. cookies for you if you can guess the character! ;3 I’m still in the process of paper-mache-ing it to deth.. right now it’s all done up in packing tape! XDD Hmm… I’m still thinking about the best paint to finish the hilt so it’ll look like real metal…. I’ll also need to figure out a way to make the intricate ‘carvings’ on the hilt design too..

Wow, that looks really awesome for paper mache. O___O! I can’t think of the character though. ;w; FF series??

Try enamel paint. I think that’s the paint I use for my car model, so hopefully it’ll look like metal.

Gaah. I knew it looked familiar. =w=;;

Uhhm. I’m pretty sure art stores would have it, maybe in the models section. Maybe departments stores that sell paint might have it as well. I think there’s enamel spray paint and one that you can use with a brush. o_o;

Or if it’s hard to find, you could use normal paint (maybe like acrylic) and just put a finish or polish to it?? @__@
