Hello All
I tried to make make a prop from Dead by Daylight and since i dont have fancy tools like a 3D printer and a bunch of woodworking shop tools i tried my best to make what i could.
this is what i'm trying to make, i already have the shape of the machete ready to go, i kind of know how i want to do the detail work..
For example
-The teeth i wont do but if i were to do it i'd just cut out smaller foam sized teeth
The rod that goes along the side of the machete would be just some thin rectangle eva foam strip i cut out.
The things i dont know how to do for this prop is..
-So most blades are sharp and i dont know how to create that sharp look along the bottom of the machete..
Should i use my dremel to create a sharp looking edge at the bottom? or cut it with a cutting blade?
I dont have a belt sander which would honestly give me that sharp edge i want
-The top 3 prongs that jut out from the top of the machete i have NO CLUE how to to do.. other than cutting some more foam out that have a finger-like shape.
Also how do i paint this..with acrylic paint? Also i should cover it with a primer right? since its eva foam
- what can i do about the seems along the sides where my foam pieces show?
most of my projects have never made it past this stage so i thought i should ask the pros for some tips on how to proceed from here
Thanks for all the help in advance
