Oops I'm sorry

Sorry everyone, for not posting here. I was kinda busy with daily life and only had time to put things on the Facebook page.


Here some highlights of what I have done:
Alm:
He is almost finished, only need to make the straps for the arm guards I have and then I can wear him again on Abunai (and participate in an act with him)

ConneR:
Huh, who is he? He is one of the artists in the mobile game "Cytus 2". I build his robotarm, his eyepatch (with leds) and I'm now starting to work on his wig. He is also for Abunai.

Alm (Fire Emblem Echoes) - Templates part 1

I've made some templates for the leg armor from Alm. I will try to make templates of every piece of armor ^^

The file is to big to put on the blog (or facebook) XD

Alm (Fire Emblem Echoes) - part 1

So... Yeah, I'm making Alm from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Here is the easy part, his armor (the clothing will be a different story...) It will be part of a whole group cosplay ^^

 Torso

 Legs

Back

 Thigh thingy :P

 Everything will have battledamage like in the artwork.

Roy (Fire Emblem Awakening style) - part 1

The armor for the Demon Hunter is coming along nicely and the sculpting is also going great. So, in the meantime I'm building a sword ^^ It's made of 3 layers of plastazote (soft foam for LARP weapons that I got from Games'n'Stuff) and hard EVA foam from Proptimum (the orange one). This time I'm trying to keep it all foam and nothing else... except for some beads and a tassel :P
It will be part of the build for next year ^^

Some people may know this, but I'm trying to make Roy from Fire Emblem (Awakening style). Why? Because he's awesome ^^ The shoulder strap also got more filigree.

Something else

This is for a new cosplay I'm working on, I hope to finish it for next year Abunai (because I'm not good with sewing his complicated shirt)  I'm trying to get this finished in a year time, hoping to wear it at Abunaicon here in the Netherlands ^^

This is part of a belt that sits on the shoulder, I don't have enough (fake) leather to make the rest of it... :(
Once in a while I will post pictures of random parts of the build.

Caladbolg - Finished

And after 17 layers of latex paint it's finished ^^

 It's just as big as my Master Sword ^^

Caladbolg - part 5

 Now the painting begins....

 First step: a base coat of black Plastidip

Then the latex...
Around 5 layers of colourless latex, 2 layers of brown/gold, 2 layers of gold and 1 layer of gold/silver latex...

It now looks like this, but it's not finished yet :)

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.

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!!!
