We're still alive

We're not dead, it's more of a hibernation during the summer. We have found a new home so it's time to start packing things and getting everything ready for when we can move in.
I'm still busy making stuff like this late present for Tessa. It's still not finished because I need to grind a steel profile to shape for the soundbridge and than is the Harp of Ages playable ^^

But with a new house and a new workspace it's also time for a new logo. I hope you like it ^^
For the cosplay ideas I have... I think I can't finish any of it XD
I'm still busy with Wizzro and all of his tassels... I now have around 10 of those but I need around the 40 of those -.-

Happy Halloween everybody ^^

Link (Hero's Shade) - part 2

Here is some progress on the bird shoulderpads (birdpads) :P

It's still one birdpad at the moment.
The pad is made out of 2mm and 5mm foam and 1 layer of worbla. The inside is foam and I think I will keep it that way. Still needs a lot of work and 2 disks need to be added to the sides where the straps will be attached.

Link (Hero's Shade) - part 1

I will try to make him based on the artwork made by http://suzumiyamisa.deviantart.com/art/Hero-s-Shade-465292727

 First I made a template for the breastplate.

 Then cut these out in foam...

and then put some worbla on it ^^ Still needs a lot of work, but it looks like something now.

Razor Sword - part 3

Here are the dimensions I use for my Razor Sword ^^
Feel free to use it.

Razor Sword - part 2

I am making now a new Razor Sword because the plasticard core of the old one broke... -.- It became as flexible as a cooked noodle XD I hope that the new wooden core will be stronger.

Here with the old one.

I will make a pattern with the measurements on it for this blade ^^

Wizzro - part 1

This is my first post about Wizzro.

 Normally he looks like this ghost :P

First I tried to make the cape. I took the design from a cape that was lying around here and adjusted it. The inside fabric is black.

New year's resolutions

2015 is ending now, and as part of my new year's resolutions I'm gonna try to make at least 1 cosplay. The first one will be Wizzro from Hyrule Warriors. He is a ghost, but fortunately somebody on the internet made this drawing of him in human form ^^ 
 

Credits for the people who made this art ^^

And then there are these 2 other projects I'm gonna try to make. Lorath Nahr, the Horadrim from Diablo 3, and Link in the armor of Hero's Shade. Why? Because they're awesome! :D

Everybody happy new year ^^

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!!!
