Homemade energy sword replica
I've been working on this the past two weeks or so, and it's finally done after about 35 hours of work. It started out as a papercraft model, then I filled the inside with spray foam, coated the entire thing in resin, and then put a final coat of auto body filler on top of that. That was sanded down nice and smooth, painted, and finished with a slightly glossy sealer for protection and a little shine.
It's pretty lightweight (about 4 pounds) and extremely durable, too. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm pretty proud of how it came out. I had so much fun making this, and I definitely plan on doing more in the future.
Probably gonna put it up on eBay soon, wish me luck on selling it! :D

[quote]OP will you marry me?[/quote]Sorry, man! Already spoken for and already got a wedding planned for the end of the year, lol! ;D [quote]That looks like it should be around $90.00 not $350.00 bucks but, it still looks awsome![/quote]I probably should have made a mold out of it when I had it, then I probably would have been able to sell it for somewhere around that price...but like Coramo said, I spent a hundred bucks in materials and 30 hours working on the thing, so $90 would have been pretty ridiculous for me. And @ Coramo - FINALLY. Ugh, I'm so thankful it finally got there. I was starting to get worried it was lost and wasn't sure what to do, can't imagine how you were feeling...hope it's everything you expected! :D
