Description This didn't take as long as I had anticipated, actually. I *still* have to work on the weapons a little bit more. I have a lot of personal screw ups that I need to fix and I'm sure you can point out each and every one in the last picture. Blah, whatever. That's how I did it.

It's simple, quick, and it looks nice if you do it right.

I used this wiki to find most of the information about her weapons: [link]

I'm actually really surprised it wasn't longer. ~

This is a really cool idea but the only problem I have is that my brothers and I (Especially myself) are rough on what we have and the paper would not work well for those of us like myself. But otherwise SWEET!!!

They are rather durable because of the layers involved, I think.

Mine have been thrown around so much that I'm surprised the paper is wearing down yet it's doing fine o.o

don't know if I'm proud or not, but at least I know one thing, I have used live metal weapons. It was so COOL!

Nice! This will be extremely useful if I have time to make weapons for my cosplay. How long did it actually take you to do?

I'm glad it will be of some use c:

It only took about a full day and a half mostly because I worked on it from morning till night, nonstop.... then let it dry overnight and went back and made corrections the next day. x3

But how would you edge it? Especially something like this, where the colors of the "edge" are different from that of the "body", edging the blades would look much better.

FatalCosplays In reply to twilightcross [2011-10-21 18:19:55 +0000 UTC]

Actually... the colors of the edge aren't all that different from the body if you're talking about the ACTUAL edges.

twilightcross In reply to FatalCosplays [2011-10-23 03:23:54 +0000 UTC]

I make most of my blades with a nice, wide edge. On a knife like these, the "silver" piece would be the "edge", slanted, while the red part would be flat - the "body"

Baha xD I'm too much of a perfectionist. I almost didn't use the picture at the end because I could sit there and point out everything wrong with it. xD

Aw ~ Thank you!
