Hi all,
I am currently working on a model of the Blades of Chaos from God of War.
This is my first attempy at paper crafting and so far so good. I've almost completed the initial model.
I am using 160gsm paper for the build but after I have finished the first stage I want to fix up some small issues (such as imperfect edges) and strengthen it before I paint it.
I was wondering if anyone could pass on some advice on best way to do this. Basically I want to make it solid enough so if it drops it won't damage and it also won't change shape if someone squeezes it too hard or something.
I understand people generally use resin for this? And a filler like bondo?
I have also seen people simply brushing water and PVC to strengthen the paper as well. And, also fibreglass sheets too.
So there are a lot of options but I am at a loss on what to use, where to start, so any help would be great.
Thanks!
