I know this isn't meant to be a "my build" thread, but since I didn't really document my process, I'm just gonna post a few photos of my bow.
This is the bow I just used for San Diego Comic Con. It was done in about 3 days, using all tips and techniques I found on this forum (with a few exceptions). It didn't come out
perfect but I'm honestly really happy with it. I think it looks great and I'm really proud. I need to re-wrap the arrow rest hinge, add dirt/wear to the the sinew and handlebar tape, paint the bowstring the correct colors, and possibly repaint the brass to be metallic. But honestly, I kind of like the non-metallic look.
And while I'm at it, here's my quiver & arrows:
I think the quiver came out okay. It was definitely WAY too big (looked fine on me, but bigger than the one Stephen uses in the show), despite making it to specifications I found in this thread. I will remake it smaller. I also had a slip-up and had to use more of the smooth/shiny black material than I planned. The bottom, which you can't see, also looks pretty bad because I couldn't figure out how to wrap the material around the rounded edge smoothly. Also need to figure out a better way to secure the quiver to the hood because it kept moving around and pulling the straps down.
The arrows were just done quickly to have them done, but I think they look alright. I'm gonna redo them correctly though once I recover some funds. At first, I really liked the tone of orange I used, but now I think it needs to be a little lighter. The fletchings are also rubber and I think they need to be actual feathers...? Also need to buy the correct nocks.
). Using the pointers on this should definitely make this project a lot easier. Thank you all!
