I'm glad these came out; I was worried that the molds wouldn't de-mold. There was also the problem of my mold (the first one) leaking like a mofo after we poured the plaster. The basement floor is now, um, reinforced, there.

Date: 2007-08-27 01:29 am (UTC)These look great! My D*C costuming marathon is wrapping up - I had to make some decisive compromises but the end results will hopefully look good.
I love balsa wood - makes for a light and easily sculpted sword, so D'Argo will have a qualta blade. I am using a sheet of thin craft foam to make a chest piece with the tattoo for under the robe - kind of a quick and dirty solution but hopefully it will look good.
After failing to find craft foam that was thick enough for armor for my Persian immortal, I have resigned myself to using dull silver foam board, painted at all cut edges. Not ideal, but the armor plates are thin enough that I can get away without curved pieces. For the arm and hip armor I'm going to strap sheets of black craft foam to myself with velcro straps.
Argh...need more time.... ;-)
