3DMG tutorial short thingy!
I drew out the patterns for the blades on my plywood. I used the foam board blade to trace, just not adding the too tiny pieces or a lot of the details. It'll need sanded for the finer details.
Ten bucks for it! The blade is about 22 inches, plus 7 inches for the handles.
Then i started on opening my paper clay for covering the exposed sides of the foam board and filling gaps. For the work I had toothpicks, a bowl of water and a butter knife. Although I didn't end up using the knife.
I rolled out small pieces with my fingers and sculpted it messily onto the edges. It sure does look better so far! Lol.
I cut a long piece and glued it to the top of the box, then glued two small pieces of foam together, for this part:
I took my two water bottles and cut the craft foam just right, then attached it to them. Then I cut a small piece of foam, two long strips of craft foam and glued them to a kid's glue stick. Then glued the stick to the bottle top. Voila!
I'll be covering the rest of the exposed foam, cutting the blades, then it'll be onto gluing. I'll probably take a lot of explanation pictures for that step. Then I might not put anything else out until after Colossalcon. I'll be compiling a big, better tutorial for the gear all together after.
The gas can isn't glued FYI, that's why it's crooked xD
