LARPING sword - Foam sword



For this build you need: electrical tape, PVC 1/4 inch, pool noodles, and duct tape.

First you cut the pool noodle and PVC pipe to the size you want it. 
Also don't forget to cut a small piece for the bottom

Second you tape the bottom of the PVC pipe all around with electrical tape.

Then you cover the pool noodle with duct tape.
Also cover the little piece of noodle with tape.

Then shove both of the pool noodles onto the PVC

Balsa wood boat

This is our balsa wood miniature row boat. Pretty much all it is, is balsa wood and hot glue. It kinda failed.

Tatebanko


      These are Tatebankos they are a Japanese art that uses paper to make a 3D scene. To make this first I cut out some perfectly square  pieces of card stock. Then I drew a picture made so I could cut a hole on the middle with a razor blade. Make as many as you want, but it is easy to start with five.



I cut out six more square papers (I used construction paper so it could be a different color) then taped them in a cross shape. Cut out a smaller square in the side paper.  ( the square I'm cutting in the picture)



Then tape all of them ( in the order you want ) facing the side with the hole in it then fold all the sides up to form a box.


Tape the sides that come up together and your Tatebanko should be finished.








If you want a video tutorial COMMENT!!!!

MiniWarGaming - Miniatures


These miniatures are all part of a MiniWarGame me and Colson are creating. If ONE person comments on which one of these miniatures they want a tutorial on, we will make one and mention your name in it. So in this post I will talk about the process of making these miniatures. First off we use xps foam. This foam is non-toxic to burn, therefore allowing us to use Hotwire foam tools. So first we burn the foam to the shape we want. Then we paint it all black. After letting it sit and dry we dry brush it. Dry brush it a technique to age your foam creation. In all these pictures you will see the black and aged look. Then after we dry brushed it the color we want and it is dry we add bushes or grass to add a apocalypse type look. Then we do  little extra things to finish it off. Again if you want to see a start to finish tutorial COMMENT on which picture and we will make a tutorial!!! This post seems meger and confusing but really we are just putting it out there to see what you like.

Spy Video


Hi, This is Wyatt and Colson here for the kick off of our blog! In our blog you will find we blog on all sorts of subjects, just a few of them are; MiniWarGaming, filming, editing, and crafting (all sorts). I hope you enjoy our blog! P.S we are not scholars in grammar so cut us some slack.


Above is a video me and Colson came up with. The video is just a fast thing we put together. later on in the week I will post on how we made the video because we actually filmed all of this footage in mid-day and in bright light. The camera we used is a Panasonic GH3. So that's all I have to share with you.

I am  not an actor but in this video I did not have to speak so it was fine. I also operated the camera in some of the scenes Wyatt was in (the brown haired guy). I didn't type a lot in this post because i am not really into filming as much as him. I will post more in the crafting sections though.
