UPDATES! I started putting together Akali's scythes. I've got a PVC foam board base, EVA foam as a brace/hilt type thing, and PVC tube as the handle. The base and tube are supposed to be sandwiched between the EVA foam, but I ran into a problem - the tube was too big to fit between the foam. I could have gotten a smaller tube, but then i might not have had enough stability so . . . Lucky for me my best friend suggested melting the tube to flatten it. I thought the tube couldn't be melted, but woo-hoo it can - heads up, PVC tubing smells awful when you melt it. So after cutting a slit for the base to slide into I melted the tube, sandwiched the base in the slit, and then melted it flat, well, flat-ish.
And my SO said I should be kind so I'm posting some photos of part of my secret cosplay - ARMOR!
One of the pieces actually belongs to Akali, but not saying which. Anyone care to guess the secret cosplay? Whoever gets it will get a big "WHO'S AWESOME? YOU'RE AWESOME!" :-)
Oh and COSPLAY BOO-BOO! I don't usually hurt myself while working on stuff (not sure how), but the glue gun dripped and my instant reaction was oh-no-grab-it! Needless to say, this happened
Not that bad, but still OW.
