Mjolnir (My First Build) W.I.P

[prostheticsoul]

So. This is my first project ever. I am new to this world of prop making. And I do like it. I hope i can learn to do works like i have seen in here. Anyways. Here is my work. . .

I made my Mjolnir out of Foam and a PVC handle. I spray painted the head and gave a poor cover to the handle. It was made for Halloween just to have fun. I did it in a couple of hours. And i think i didn't waste more than $18 dollars :lol.

The reason i put here the pictures is to share them to you and also share info. I of course want it to look better. So I was thinking on using bondo. But i don't know if it will eat the foam. If its not recommendable what can i do ?

Also i want to know if the dimensions i used are good. Because I am just 5' 7" and the Hammer looks HUGE! but i like it jeje. I dont know. Let me know what you think

nice hammer man im working on one atm too check it out on propatom any tips? and also what kinda foam did you use i used loft insulation lol

If its soft foam, then cover it with some latex milk.

If it´s hard foam, then you could use paper mache, and then bondo the heck out of it. Or use smoothcast IIRC to cover it, works better than fibreglassing, since it won´t eat away the foam.

Is it easy to cut soft foam without it looking rigged and jaggedy? I found 15x15x15" cube and might size that down for one of these
