Hello all,
New to the community. I am moving out of my apartment and will be setting up a beginner's woodworking shop in my new garage. Mostly just handtools and dremel at this point. Along with my new journey into woodworking I have caught the prop making bug, in particular skyrim weapons. Looking for advice on good building materials and techniques to use. Not interested in diving into resin casting yet, mostly considering doing the body out of wood and coating it with something to look metalic. I have come across aluminum tape, spray foam sanded down and painted, and also rub n buff. Have also thought about getting a heat gun and working with pvc for armor. Complete newbie so any opinions and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
