Lancaster archery do a similar one in the states called a Capitol bow (or similar)

I know its the pse snake and I want it to look exactly like the one in the movie not just one to get me by

The one I got was manufactured by myBo I believe the PSE is similar but not quite the same thing.
Good luck in your bow quest.

Did you make the armor

 

[Jaina_Organasolo]

I won't be working on this one for a while other than gathering references. I am part way through a CF 75th Arena suit and then I will do Star Squad prior to this one. You should share your tests maybe

The bow is a Martin Savannah longbow - http://www.archery360.com/2014/12/mockingjay-katniss-everdeen-trades-hoyt-buffalo-for-longbow/

Personally, I would make the wings by cutting each 'feather' from 2mm foam, shaping it with a heat gun and then Plasti-dipping it. Then assemble them all together on a base, prime and paint. It'll be super lightweight. You can also do the shoulders the same way.

To get the rounded edges in the foam, cut the pieces at a bevel and then run the heat gun gently around it. The heat will smooth out the edges and round them over. Also, use brush on Plasti-dip - never spray.

Cheers!

OMG looking for some good advice and was thinking of using craft foam but wanted a better look! Plasti dip brilliant! Thank you!!
