40K costume complete

I can't remember the name of the 40k character but here is the costume completed.

The making of a Wand

I decided to make a wand for LARP use. I started with a tree branch and my trusty knife.

I then whittled it down to the shape and size I wanted.

Then refined it a little then stained the handle part.

I added some string to give it more pizazz.

I was really happy with the end result so I decided to make four more. they will all be different from each other.

40K Foam Chainsword - Finished

I finished spraying and weathering the chainsword. I then added a leather handle wrap and called it done. I'm pretty happy with the final result.

 

40K chainsword masked

I have sprayed the chainsword black. Now for the metallic parts. We found a metallic silver spray paint. I have masked off all the black areas and will commence spraying the silver metallic parts.
