I was just wondering how you would evenly spray on the expanding foam, like would you spray and carve one side of your saw and then go onto the other or would you spray the entire thing then carve it?
Sorry if my question isn't understandable, I'll try to clarify it if you have any questions about my question ; v ;
I sprayed one side and let it completey dry for around 8h, turned it around and sprayed the other side. After everything got sprayed and is dry I started with carving.
I have a few questions:
- Is it heavy to hold?
- Is it hard to cut?
- Does it smash easily/Brittle?
You tutorial has given me lots of ideas! Thanks for sharing!
It is a bit heavy for me, since I have to handle it with claws~ Without claws it would be easier. ^^
I have to tell you, that the only reason I used Worbla was that someone sold me it rather cheap (because she had to much) and because I'm an impatient person and I wanted to make it as sturdy as possible.
You should know, I made first my horns with this method: expanding foam -> crepe tape -> snipped paper with wallpaper paste -> papier machee -> gesso -> paint...
So they are somewhat tough for their use. But I feared that my sword will break with that method. So I used the method I described in the tuto.
With the Worbla I can smack it around. XD If you can take better care of your big weapons, use the method mentioned earlier. It's a lot cheaper.
I used one xl sheet and a bit (for the handle) of worbla for this sword.
Yes Gesso is a canvas. Normally put around 10 Layers of it and sand it. If it's still to rough add a few more and sand again.
I really recommand to do this step. I used a cheap spray filler for this sword... And no. I will never use this again. But I couldn't get Gesso here and I didn't want to wait a month for it. I need this sword this month. :/
Thanks for the response, it will definitely help me decide which materials to use.
