Artist's Comments

By the time I got around to making this, I'd already made the conformer (Yuffie's final weapon) to go with my FFVII costume, but I wanted something to go with my KH2 costume as well. It's been used with both costumes since, as the only difference between the initial weapon she uses in FFVII and the AC/KH2 version is a couple of pink ribbons covering over the materia, which are easy enough to tie on or remove as I need them.

It was made out of foam core boards, craft foam and sheet plastic [insert worship of Amethyst Angel's prop making tutorials here]. The paint job to give it the tarnished look was done by my ever talented little sis *Risachantag, who's put up a tutorial based on it here, if anyone's interested in seeing how she does it. The green materia were salvaged from a Christmas decoration.

Since it's mostly hollow this thing's a lot lighter than it probably looks, and balances beautifully - you can twirl it around a finger and it'll spin like a pinwheel. The design for this was basically a scaled down copy of ~nekomiao's even more giant Dirge of Cerebrus version. It took a week or two to make (although it must be said, after making the conformer, this thing was a pushover. ^^;)

This looks really great!:clap: :D

Just a little question ^^; How did you fill the gap at the edge between the foam core and the blades? Also where did you find the plastic sheeting? Is it just at Bunnings? I'm just planning on making a Shuriken as well and I know where all parts are except for the plastic sheeting =/

It's basically all foam and plastic in one shape or another - for more advice, the tutorial I linked to in the comments is the best place to look. As for plastic sheeting, I've never seen any at Bunnings, but you can get it from hobby shops and places that sell model making supplies. You can also order it in in larger sheets direct from the factories, but I've never done that myself.

Well, "a week or two" might be better taken to mean "not too much more than a couple of weeks of not-too-intensive work" - it wasn't an overnight job by any stretch of the imagination. But it definitely is great fun to twirl around. ^_^
