Despite everything being cancelled for the foreseeable future, we’re still going to do a quick costume build! In this case, what I’ve been instructed to build is a sword and some other accoutrements for a character from League of Legends called Riven.
I’ve started by getting some foam glued together along with a 5/8″x5/8″ square dowel for strength.
That will be one half – the other half is yet to be built. I haven’t put the sword sandwich together yet because in the blade of the sword, there’s a cut-out section that glows green, so I’m going to use some LEDs to make that happen. Rather than trying to stuff that into a completed sword, I was going to go ahead and run all the wiring and everything through the foam first and then sandwich it all together.
Right now, I’m waiting on all the electronic bits to show up. The LEDs came today and next I need the switch and the battery compartment. In the meantime, I can go ahead and start cutting out the glowing part of the sword and getting the other half of the foam ready to be attached as well.
