Casting... -.-

I know one thing for sure... I hate casting clear resin stuff!
Trying to get the colours right, to make it smooth again and transparent, testing which glue I need...

But now I have this little batch for the Caladbolg and to finish up the crown of Aurora from Child of Light ^^

Caladbolg - part 4

And some more progress ^^
Something went wrong with the worbla, so now I'm using epoxy clay to bring back the shapes of the guard.

I also tried to cast the gems, but it looked so bad, I didn't even took a picture of it :P

Caladbolg - part 3

And now with more work on the guard ^^
I tried to make it in a wing-like style.

 Here is where the stones will be placed when the casting will work...

Caladbolg - part 2

More shaping and I gave the blade his edge.

 Here you see the little detail where the 2 smaller stones will be placed.
A large stone will be placed om the oval shaped piece on the guard.

Caladbolg - part 1

It's not much, only the basic form and my feet ^^

The materials I used are Plastizote LD33, fiberglass core and a small piece of cloth at the tip to reinforce it.

I made this template in PhotoShop, I will try to make this as close as possible.

Razor Sword - part 1

For the Razor Sword I made a core-piece from plasticard and glue 2 sheets of plastizote LD33 on it. I use BisonTix to glue the foam on each other, because this will keep the foam flexible and Larp-able.

 After gluing I cut the foam in it's shape.

 The handel is made from EVA-foam.

As you can see, it still needs a lot of work, but I have the initial shape ^^

And so it begins

The Lazarus Project... What is this?
Well, it's my blog to show you my progress in Prop making and Cosplay ^^
(and an excuse to improve my English writing) :P

So... Let's begin!
The first 2 projects will be the Razor Sword from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and the Caladbolg from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

Two different swords, almost no template and, if I have to believe Google, not previously built by someone else.

It's gonna be fun!!!
