Shinoa Hīragi scythe tutorial P1

Hello! This is my first ever tutorial and the first prop I’ve ever made! As a beginner prop maker, I searched high and low online for tutorials on how people made theirs, pictures etc. but they were all not to my liking, both in size and shape. Luckily, I found a way to make mine that in the shape I wanted, was sturdy AND was definitely easy to make for a beginner (practice for me this summer and all the props I have to make zzzzz).

It was a pain in the butt to lug around a super busy and crowded con (゜▽゜;) (I had to carry it above everyone so I didn’t hit anyone in the head), but it was well worth it for all the comments I got when I passed by people!! Lots of people were in awe and complimented me on it. It was also super big so it was a huge flag in the crowd to find me HAHA (￣▽￣)ノ

I hope I can be as clear as possible in this, and if you have any questions feel free to PM me on my Facebook page :)

Materials

¾ inch PVC pipe

¾ inch PVC pipe connectors: 135 and 90 degrees.

1 ½ inch thick pink insulation foam from Home Depot

X-acto knife and changeable blades OR multiple cheap knives. I have a heavy duty one from the hardware store.

PVC pipe cutter

Heat gun

Painters tape

Patterning paper/something for your pattern

Sharpie

Gorilla glue

Low temp hot glue gun + glue sticks

Paperclay

Paint brushes

Elmer’s Carpenter’s Wood Glue (Interior)

Neon green paint/green paint of your choosing. I bought Craft Smart Premium Neon Green Acrylic paint from Michaels.

White acrylic paint

1 or 2 cans of black spray paint, depending if how much is wasted. 2 cans is always better to have on hand to be on the safe side.

*Optional* Spray paint can holder, to make it easier when spray painting

MAKING OF THE SCYTHE

Pole

Let’s start with the PVC pipe. I don’t have any exact measurements for the pipe and how long I made everything; everything was sketched and estimated based on my own height/ what I felt like making it. You can take a pattern of her scythe and make a to scale pattern if you’d like, but I just free-handed mine.

The main pole (labelled #1) was slightly bent with a heat gun. It was my first time using one. My boyfriend helped hold the heat gun while I rotated the pole/ moved the heat along the length of where I wanted it to bend. It’s a big area to bend, so be patient while heating it up, it will work. After it was warmed up enough, we both pressed in opposite directions to get it to bend, and it stayed well enough. It might take a few re-warms and you might have to hold it in the bend for a few moments. Be patient!

Part 2 the V is approximately 8 inches in one bend and like 7 in the other I think? (the half towards #1 is the longer side). Like I said, it’s up to you how long you’d like your pole to be/proportionate. You want the half of the “V” shape that’s towards #3 to be shorter than the side towards #1, because you want it to line up with 1 as much as you can to balance the weight of the scythe. I learned this all too well at Comiccon when my scythe was off balance all day at the con (flipping, hard to hold) until I looked over a photo of myself on my phone. I realized my scythe was off because my V was flipped (longer side was up and shorter bottom), and the weight was messed up, making it very difficult to bring around. Once I flipped it IT WAS SO EASY LOL I FELT SO DUMB BECAUSE I HAD IT THE WRONG WAY FOR LIKE 4 HOURS. ((´д｀))

To bend #2, I held the heat gun to the corner where I wanted to bend and rotated the pipe around the heat (so 360). When it was heated significantly, we started bending it. I didn’t think it would hold at first, but that was because the corner was still hot. Hold it in your bend until it cools and it will retain it’s shape. :)

Part 3 of the pole wasn’t bent so not much to say about that haha

The 90 and 135 degree bends are also pictured in the diagram, you can figure out where they go~

What the 90 and 135 bends look like

Pattern drafting

I know there’s patterns of her scythe floating around out there online, but I decided to free-hand my own and draw it out. I just looked at some reference pictures and sketched it out based on proportions and how long I wanted the blade to be, etc. I was so lucky because it JUST fit into my insulation foam. I was afraid it wouldn’t!

My very light sketching

Pattern finished, gone over with blue sharpie to see better. For the long blade I did two lines on the pattern to show me what part I’d want to be carved/sharpened as the blade.

Not pictured, I ended up making another pattern for the little pointy thing Shinoa has at the top of her scythe because I didn’t know how to finish it otherwise. It will be shown on my insulation foam in the next part.

Shinoa Hīragi scythe tutorial P2

The fact that I deleted my first draft of this/closed the tab for this astounds me… my stupidity level is over the roof LOL WELP HERE GOES P2 V2 BECAUSE I’M DUMB. //LIES DOWN AND CRIES (┳Д┳) I honestly don’t remember what I wrote so hopefully this all works out haha….

Cutting the scythe

Now that you’ve drafted your scythe pattern, it’s time to transfer it to your insulation foam! I used a sharpie to transfer the pattern because it won’t mark up the foam like a pencil or pen will. I was lucky mine JUST fit inside the edges of my foam. As you can see at the ends of the 2 main blade parts, I drew an extra inch or so. This is because the foam will end up wrapping itself around the PVC pipe and cover it, so you want there to be a bit more. Remember, you can always cut away some but you can’t / it’s very hard to add any back.

Once you’ve drawn it, it’s time to cut, cut, cut! Take your x-acto knife and begin cutting away at the edges of the foam. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS CUT AWAY FROM YOURSELF! Please don’t hurt yourself.

If you aren’t in a rush to make your scythe like I was, take your time cutting it out! I finished cutting and sanding it in less than 24 hours hours, causing extreme cramping and pain to my wrist, hand and shoulders. I was healing for the next few days and had trouble holding things;; so yeah please take your time and relax don’t be like me. It was also my first time cutting insulation foam, and it really surprised me how long it took to cut the foam and shapes out. Be patient and take your time cutting away. Whenever your blade gets dull, change blades or use a new knife. It makes the job so much easier when you have a sharp blade! ALSO BE CAREFUL CHANGING UR BLADES LOL.

As you can see in the picture below in the top right corner, there is a pointy thing. That’s the piece that ends up going at the very top of my scythe /the pole, and I explain how I carve it later on.

What I got done at the end of Saturday night.

Getting there! My x-acto knife is also pictured. As you can see on my long blade, I drew another blue line. That blue line is where I end up beveling my blade.

While I was switching my blades, the box of new x-acto knives opened very fast and I sliced my fingers on the edge of a few of them. The cuts weren’t deep, didn’t hurt and healed in 3 days, but please be careful when working with knives and don’t be like me… But as the saying goes, it’s not cosplay unless you bleed a little… right? RIGHT???

My suffering was finally complete but at the expense of arm rip

Beveling the edges

On my next picture, I labelled different edges of the scythe to show how I beveled everything. It really made a difference to the final look. I didn’t really decide a set amount I wanted to bevel on each edge except #3 and eyed it/estimated how much I shaved off.

#1: how I shaved every edge on the sword, both sides, except at #2 and #3.

#2: I made the top edge this shape, but it was steeper than #3.

#3: How I carved the blade. It got pretty low and was a smooth slope.

Carving the point

Like I said before, I didn’t know how to finish the tip of my scythe. Instead of doing some next level calculations to make cones and foam and whatnot, I decided to make it out of insulation foam as well.

I made the parts into square prisms put together. The end that goes into the scythe is a cylinder, it fits inside the PVC pipe. It took me a while to carve, and I accidentally broke off the top (because it’s so fragile). It was easily put back together with low temperature hot glue (don’t use high temp! It will melt the foam).

If I were to make this again, I’d suggest you take a skewer stick and stick it through~! It will make it more sturdy.

Sanding

Remember to always wear a proper mask or respirator when sanding! Gloves would be good too, but I was in a rush so didn’t. They probably would’ve been good, because I had a bit of irritation on my skin later on. Just to warn you, when you sand this stuff, it literally gets EVERYWHERE. Please do it outside, and a pair of glasses or goggles might even be good so you don’t get it in your eyes. I’d also suggest wearing some clothes that you won’t mind getting dirty, but in the end just make sure before entering the house to brush off as much of the insulation foam powder as you can, and putting the clothes you wore in the wash too!

For the sanding, I first used an electronic sander with a more coarse grit for areas of #2 and #3. I couldn’t use it at areas of #1 because it was so big and would just ruin them. After using the electronic sander, I used a thinner grit to sand more and smooth everything out, including the top skewer point. The hole in the center of the scythe was cut out as well, beveled and sanded with a thin grit. At this point I couldn’t feel my hand but dinner was calling so I had to get the job done, haha.

Bottom bulb of the scythe

At first, I was in such a rush that I also didn’t care about what the base of my scythe looked like, I decided I’d just leave the pipe as is. Then my perfectionist self decided it was ugly, so I made something anyways. Luckily I have lots of materials stored that I’ve never used, and I decided this would be a good time to use some of the Paperclay I have at home. This is what it looks like and you can buy it from Michaels in the clay section.

I took some out and molded a bulb to put at the bottom edge of the scythe. Like the top point, it has a cylinder thing that sticks into the PVC pipe. I also put a toothpick/skewer stick into the bulb to make it more sturdy. In the end, the bulb was hot glued into the pole.
