Solo Projects

Hey guys,
Jimmy's going to be up in Michigan until almost the end of June, so it'll be just me for a while.
So, since it's just me, I started working on some projects I've been holding out on. The first is the F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine.
Cool little backpack styled device used for just the one Mario game. One of my favorites.
I've wanted to make this build for some time, but never really gave it much thought until I saw these guys do it, and it inspired me. It's going a little slow because I'm working on my own, but here's about a day's worth of work.
Haven't been keeping up with the developmental pictures as much as I should, but as of today, I have the head completely finished and painted, and the skeleton and body ready. Just a little bit more on that.
The other project I'm starting is the Soul Edge from the Soul Calibur series. Very cool game and my favorite fighting series. The Soul Edge is a blade that houses the soul of Inferno, a being of pure evil. DUN DUN DUUUUN.
It's a big prop. And by big I mean ten-feet-long big. For real.
The idea was adapted from a method used by Kamui Cosplay, who is an INCREDIBLE costumer, but that's for later.
So the plan is to build the skeleton of the sword by drawing out the general shape on thick foam board and piling on a TON of expanding foam.
After a couple hours (and a couple cans of foam) it starts to take shape.
The next step is the start carving it in to shape, but that's for another day. More updates will follow.
