I mean, I bought some... clothing that has been used in previous SPARTAN photoshoots that have been blocked from being posted on the forum. Do I need to make a fundraiser calendar?

This build is back on track. Financial issues have been taken care and I even managed to slip in going to FanExpo FanExpo 2019
Things that need to be done:
Finish painting/weathering armour. for some of the parts that are already weathered, I may go over it again. Its too plain and doesn't have enough depth. I going to try a technique that SKSprops uses with a mop brush and some watered down mixture of black and brown paints.
Devine Slasher long sword needs to be tweeked a bit. I need to reshape/sculpt the profile a little. Its a little too thick and chunky.
Then a wig needs to be made, need to start playing with LED lights for the blue eyes and scout fly cage (not yet crafted).
I also need to build the carving knife (considering making the blade with sintra... don't know yet) plus sheath.
and the biggest challenge for me is the under suit.

Started whittling down the guard on my long sword. Ripped the bugger apart an started cutting off the offending foam. Has a much better profile.
Will have to do the same with the blade. Turns out laminating 3 layers of 1/2 inch foam was a little too much.
The good thing is that this can be reworked. I won't have to start over.

The Devine Slasher has been scaled to 7 feet in length.

That's like a 10ft sword isnt it?

That would be amazing, imagine that a con, just holding it straight out in the middle of a bunch of people, freaking them out, I want a 10ft sword nowCorrect. At 1:1 it would measure out to 10 ft.
Considering I'm 5'8" that would be smidge too big for me.

More progress. Whittled down the spikes and spine. Used rotary tool to smooth out most of the jaggies. Mass on the spikes was lost in order to get the spine thinner. Foam clay was used to build up spikes and then foam putty to gap fill. Let it cure for a couple of days and then some fun sanding.

These things are so cool!!

Thanks man.
That 7 feet of cool is a little unruly to work with.
It's one of the rare times where I am forced to work outside. Trying to sand that bugger in my usual work spot (basement washroom) is a little cramped.

I'll bet! I'd probably struggle with that in my bedroom too *cough* I mean workshop.

If it was that way, the sword would have been the cosplay and I would be the prop...

Little bit more progress.
Devine Slasher assembly is almost complete. I need to still make a pommel. My dilemma is I need to make it out of something other than foam. This sword is going to be standing on end when being stored or even out and about at cons.
I was looking at a product from Smooth On called Epsilon PRO. It's a impact resistant resin that can be used on foam. I could make the pommel out foam and coat it with that along with the blade edge and tip.
Problem is, It's not readily available anywhere. The only place I found it was on Amazon... For a $150 CAD.
Other progress made is shins and hip plates have been black washed.
Lastly chest has last coats of red applied and will be blackwashed as well.
I am considering adding more details to the shoulder straps and even a collar.

No foamsmithing today. The only work I did was to clean up my 'work' area. I put quotes on the word work because I never really do any work on the table. It's too cluttered with junk. Most of my cutting templates, tracing and cutting foam and painting end up in living room.
