Right on the wrong side of it all.

dejanaHi, all. I'm back from the con, as of mid-Wednesday. I browsed my flist, but if there's something you'd like me to comment on, let me know. I'm finally going to get a bit of a break from things now, so I'm hoping to be around online more than I have been these past few months. Con report coming soon, most likely this weekend. But before that, because I want to show off more :3 a bit of a preview...
Look what I made! :D
This was to go along with the Princess Saturn dress I made for Shel, so we'd be a matching pair.
Reference pics:
The Glaive is mainly Wonderflex over Styrofoam attached to wooden dowels, like my Time Key.
I used PVC couplings for the joints this time. Much lighter than the metal pipe couplings I used for my prop, and a more secure fit.
With Wonderflex and a piece of PVC pipe attached to fit into the coupling. There's another joint about 2/3 down the shaft of the Glaive, so it comes apart in three pieces like mine does.
Bottom section, over a thinner dowel cut to fit inside the bottom of the wider rod.
Assembled, before painting. I later added a round ball over the shaft joint. The studs at the top of the shaft are made of baked Sculpey clay.
Size comparison:
The painted pieces, along with the smaller prop I made for Kasey.
All done!
After a lot of time, a fair amount of blood loss and a bundle of severed nerves, haha, I have a product that puts my Time Key to shame. Much nicer, smoother, lighter, and more stable than my first prop. I'm gaining a lot of experience working with these materials. :)
