My boyfriend and I are cosplaying as Cloud and Sephiroth for AnimeFest (Dallas, 9/01-04), and even though he has made cosplay weapons and such before and I'm usually pretty crafty, we're both at a loss for ideas of how to make this sword as life like as possible!!
Here is a kinda funky example in case you have no idea what I am speaking of:

ANY help is appriciated, but I'd like to add that we are both two teens who are on a tight budget.... ^^;;;;;. Thanks for looking!

Swords
If you go to www.trueswords.com you can get both swords. If you don't want real swords...then ask someone else.

Yeah, this is for cosplaying purposes, and so far I haven't attended a convention that would let you bring in a REAL weapon- though that would be cool, I know we are all a little bit safer because of the policy. ^^;. Thanks anyways!

Oh! I saw you on the Ohayocon fourms! Nice to see you again! ^-^!Sterling wrote:wood or plastic?
Yes, I was betting that, but I was hopeing that someone could give me ideas as to how much I'd need and what is what... details in other words.
^^. Thanks though!

Im planning Seph's sword as well.
Im going to try using Wonderflex (its a thermoplastic you can heat and mold, you can purchase it at cosplaysupplies.com)
Im actually taking a plastic katana I already have, and going to attempt to basically add more length to it using the wonderflex. Perhaps a piece that will slide directly onto the current blade, this way it still has sturdy support inside.
