As a Thank You to all my supporters, here is the Foam Board Weapon Tutorial!

I've had a lot of practice with this method, and this is the formula that works best for me, so I hope it can help you make your props with ease. I really enjoy working with my hands and making props using various methods, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any - I'll be glad to answer them!

I'm going to see if this tutorial will help me make my two props for my Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas cosplays. I'm going to be working on trying to cosplay both Hades and Athena and I'll need the Sword of Hades and the Staff of Nike to put the icing on the cake.

This looks great. I've been trying to think of a way to make a good sturdy base and I think this will work. Thank you!

I used 1/4 inch, but there is also 1/2 inch. You can get 24x36 inch sheets at most craft stores.

Thanks, as I want to make a weapon for a cosplay, this could be useful. I already tried styrofoam (i like it because it's so light) but I might try foam board. Haha I really feel like making props right now xD

How large can foam board come in? For the weapon I need, it's just about my height, but I'm thinking of nixing it anyway because of large prop rules.
