Been a while since I’ve posted but here’s an update on my most recent project. Been playing a lot of Monster Hunter World and I’m doing another colab with @blogofmaddog for an armor set. And of course there’s the weapons so we decided to do the bone dual blades. This is a rough step by step of how they’ve come together. I promise to post more frequently on here from now on!

Glavenus breatplate: I made a pattern of my abdomen and traced the shapes I wanted for the armor, traced those on to 5mm EVA foam, made sure everything looked right and then used a rotary tool to sand all edges and add initial details, glued everything together with barge glue, detailed the foam further (as shown on last image bottom scale), and added craft foam details on the boobies, and added straps.

Warmachine Factions: New Player Guide

Hello again, friends and followers! As promised, I am continuing my new player guide. If you missed the first part, on the general overview of Warmachine and Hordes, it can be found here.

Today, I will be giving a basic overview of each of the available factions found within Warmachine, with a separate guide for Hordes factions to follow. I will cover the basic theme of the factions, some pros and cons, etc. Some of this will be opinion, as always. More after the jump.

WOO! This thing nearly killed me :D

I forgot that this shield was due today, so I made it all the way from scratch in one day x3 I was up till like 3am, working on it, but hey! It turned out pretty nice I think. I’m starting to think that my best works happen when I panic and do them all in one day.

Anyway, this is tower shield is for another Dystopia Rising player. I am calling it “The Roadkill Shield”. The main idea behind it was that the player character using this was run over by one of his Dieseljock “friends” x3

It’s made from 1/4″ plywood, EVA foam and leather straps

I took pictures of the creation progress, so if you want to see them and have me babble about what I did, it’s all under the cut!

I noticed I forgot to post the finished version of that boffer WIP I posted a while back x3

Well here it is! A nice and nasty scrap metal sword! The customer wanted something that looked welded together from scrapheap junk and this is what I came up with. Re-purposed hunting knife as the sword’s tip, a crudely ground piece of construction steel as the main blade and a nasty looking gear and saw blade guard, with a lead pipe handle.

Made from EVA foam with a carbon fiber core and leather handle wrap.

MAKING ROSE QUARTZ’S SWORD

I used the foam mats pictured. It’s EVA foam from Harbor Freight. I cut out a cardboard version of the sword first,like a rough draft. To make the sword as long as possible out of one piece of foam, I cut it out diagonally.

I Cut out TWO slices of foam, one for each side. You can use high-power scissors or exacto/drywall blades. I used my Dremel lightly to make the indentations for the petals. I Dremeled out a channel for the wooden dowel to go through. It forms a handle and keeps the blade stiff.

The dowel/core of the sword is sandwiched between the two sides and hot glued together. The dowel is somewhere between 1/2″ and 5/8″ so I had to carve a little more than halfway through the foam! Now, this is not an ideal core, and if it breaks, there is pretty much no fixing it at all. I used a dog food bowl to get the guard perfectly round and I pretty much guessed for the length of the guard. I used my Dremel to bore out holes to stick it through the dowel.

For the actual handle part, I used a super-thin craft foam, wrapped around several times. It adds to the thickness of the handle and is pretty comfortable and squishy. The rose-shaped pommel of the sword is four little pieces of foam glued together and Dremeled into a rough rose-shape. The edge of the sword was also Dremeled down.

Before painting, I first used Plastidip on the foam to seal it and keep me from needing a million coats of paint. Use a minimum of two coats.
