whoo its almost there after i mounted the foam onto to frame on friday and got the foam sanded down to the right size and grinded it so the shape of the blade was what i wanted. next step was covering the foam and wood with fiberglass, which is a serious pain in the ass, mostly because the epoxy that u need to harden it is sticky and takes forever to completely dry, but the sword came out great after it was done now i dont have any pics of it cause my dad took the camera with him on a trip. now when the fiber glass dries then comes the most time consuming part of the process but not the hardest by any means, the bondo, this stuff is used to cover gaps and fill holes in cars and boats (the stuff they always use on "Pimp My Ride" before they paint) it took me all day sunday to do the bondo for the sword (bondo, sand, bondo, sand, bondo, sand over and over again)in the end it came out almost perfect the edge turned up alittle but nothing major after the final coat of bondo which makes the sword completly smooth is put on i started to prime the sword so i can start the painting up to date pics http://www.shutterbook.com/albums/otakuplaya
