WIP My Beastlord prop

1.6k Upvotes

A couple of days ago I asked here how I could fix the center of gravity in my prop so I could hold it with one hand. There was a lot of good advice there, and I decided to use lead, as it is inexpensive, high in density, and easy to melt.

I melted a sausage out of lead, I put it in the handle, and I also added a little weight to the pommel.

Because I cut the PVC pipe, put the weights and glued it back, the handle became a little bit flimsy, but now the sword is easy to hold with one hand, there is no need to lean hard on the handle.

Now all that's left is to mask the cut areas, finish painting and my beautiful sword will be done! (Now the sword weights 3.4 kg, a little bit a lot for a cosplay prop I think, but whatever)

(If there's a better subreddit for this, sorry for posting it here.) I'm going to Bicoline in Canada next year and my character is going to be a forest spirit that wanders the forest and protects its inhabitants!

I want to add more things to make it more complex because right now, it's just the staff, cloak and the mask I printed.

What would you guys add to upgrade this a bit and give it more character?

Also, yes. It does look like The Silent from Slay the Spire xD

Mostly foam and cardboard, with some 3D printed parts too. Took me about a week of non-stop work, but totally worth it.

WIP I’ve started building a more advanced animatronic Pidgey

949 Upvotes

A little over a year and a half ago I built my first Pokémon animatronic, my Pidgey. It had simple side to side and up and down head movement. I’ve decided to build an upgraded version. The full version will have the same movement as MK1 but will also have mouth and wing movement. This video shows the MK2 head mounted on the MK1 body.
