Been away for a bit. Just started working on (ie researching and planning) a costume for Halloween/convention later this year. The costume is pretty cool, but from a pretty bad movie, so I felt the need to enhance it a bit with a few additional, but related, props. Since my specialty/interest is weapon replicas, I've started that part first. Although this isn't meant as a weapon in reality, in the context of the costume it will be. So here is a first look. Lets see if anyone recognizes it yet...
