Cosplay, anyone?
AkaiYuki:
I'm pretty sure there's been a thread on this before but it died. O.O So I'm making another one!! ((I don't know if this should be in the General Media section or not, if so, feel free to move it, mods! Sorry!))
Anyway, although I have never cosplayed before, with CLAMP being at the upcoming Anime Expo, I decided I am going to cosplay as Kamui! Due to my cosplay noobness, I have a question! Has anyone here ever made cosplay weapons? If so, does anyone have any tips on how to make the Shinken? ((Kamui's sword))
Although it sounds difficult and expensive, I was going to get some styrofoam and cut it out like the shinken ((in several pieces)), shove a wooden dowel through it for stability, melt wonderflex over it to make it look better, and then paint it. But if anyone can think of anything easier/cheaper, please inform meh! XD
Also, has anyone here cosplayed before ((just in general))? Did you enjoy it? Any tips on costume fabrics and things like that? ((I don't want to swelter.. O.O))

When you say your going to the upcoming Anime Expo, do you mean the London Expo on 28th-29th May? because I will be there lol
I never cosplayed before and I'm hoping to cosplay this time round. I usually go with a group of friends and my friends are usually in cosplay. Anyway as for weapons, my friend Scott is a carpenter and he makes swords and guns out of wood, not sure how he makes them, but he loves making weapons for everyone. I can ask him for tips to make weapons if you want.
