Skyrim priest staff wip

[colbs]

well this is my very first project its going good so far i guess there are a few sections that where causing me trouble so far and there are a few tiny holes in some spots but hey its my first so there will be mistakes like that i guess.

first lil bit

slight more progress

 

[colbs]

k got a question once i finish pepping this and do the resin coat should i fill the inside of it with expanding foam from a can? to give it its ridgidness sinse i cant rondo the inside?

 

[colbs]

really no suggestions?

 

[Chainsaw ninja]

Patience idk if expanding foam will work I've hear people saying it caused bulges in their builds

 

[colbs]

yeha but the spray can expanding foam doesnt expand that much if i recall as it is used to fill gabs inbetween windows so i dont think it should be to much of a problem for this or should i jsut resin the outside and bondo over that? will that be enough?

 

[Kirimae]

I haven't done this yet, but my intention with my own skyrim weapon that I'm making is that I'll paper mache and then resin the outside, and THEN fill it with foam fill. If you leave enough room for its expansion, it shouldn't bulge, and the paper mache/resin will prevent it where it tries to. In theory anyway, I've yet to actually try.

While I think of it, resining the outside and still foam filling it makes it a bit more solid as well, so there's less chance of it breaking in the long run.

You can try to use the foam but if you do not like the results you'll have to do something different. And no resin and bondo the outside won't work. Btw why not rondo? If you can use resin and bondo you can use rondo.

 

[Kirimae]

I know people usually rondo the inside of helmets and armour and stuff, but would the outside of a the weapons work? Or would you have to do a thicker batch to get it to coat more evenly? I'm curious now, because I hadn't really thought about rondoing weapons.

 

[colbs]

beacuuse once this thing is assembled it will be 5 feet long and it will be full closed up and it will be hard to rondo the inside imho

Not really just put holes in it where you need to pour in rondo and then slosh it around I used a turkey blaster for small areas to apply rondo
