Hi all. I've been a serial lurker on here for far too long and have finally got round to starting something.... Mainly because my daughter asked me to help her with it so she could take it to university when she starts in September.... I'm a terrible procrastinator.
The item in question is a Saw Cleaver from Bloodborne, a favourite PS4 game of hers. It's not meant to be 100% screen accurate, just a decent representation of it. She found a free template on another site she wanted to use and after I'd reprimanded her for her disloyalty and pointed her to this magnificent site, we set off making it.
It's made from 5mm foam board, layered up, carved with some Isopon P38 (bondo in the states?) to smooth out the transition between layers, and add a bit of strength. Next up for the blade is some sealing and painting, the handle requires carving, filling and sanding, and the locking mechanism needs fabricating too.
It's not meant for swinging around and cleaving heads from shoulders or anything, just display, so it doesn't need to be too robust.
Any comments or tips gratefully received.
Cheers.
