Tada, my yuan weapon fully assembled and held next to me~! (sorta)

The weapon is....about 6' tall.
(And because of it I couldn't get into the dealers room LOL. The weapon was too big to take into the room because the dealers room was slightly shorter, height wise, than your average room.)

This was taken by the guy who runs [link] so I guess this photo is technically his 8D;;

I realize the weapon looks a little...curved in the picture. It's not supposed to be.
Because it comes apart in the middle, it kinda 'flops' a bit if I don't support both halves evenly/enough.

Place:
Anime USA 2008, Arlington Virginia
At the Hyatt Regency Crystal City

Oh my god, I love you for doing this. This is wonderfully amazing. :heart: I'm curious what the jewel and designs are made out of, and if the main part is wonderflex, insulation foam or what?

...omg so amazing. X3 I'm not even a Yuan fangirl, but I love amazing cosplays of him...

The jewels were cast out of resin 8D
Insulation foam coated with poster paper and wonderflex, I'd guess. It's surprisingly light despite it's size.
(my father and I tried to make the weapon, but it kinda FAILED...like, a lot. It fell apart when I picked it up even after everything had dried. So we then commissioned it made online. ^^;)


Thanks you ^_^b

Hoho, then my suspicious were correct. ^^ Someday I will try resin casting for Moses if it isn't too heavy~
Thank you, that's useful to know. It's a good thing it's light for it's size, since it would be quite hard to lift otherwise. XD And commissioning is fine; commissioners need money too, right?

You're ever so welcome~ ^w^

Moses...like ToL Moses? 8D?
Resin isn't very heavy and (even though you can't see it too well) if you don't make it too dark it dries so you can see the olor of the resin but it's still clear enough to see through *sorta*
You could maybe make his jewely across-the-chest bling; I'd imagine it would turn out well.

Srsly, right? XD

Originality does not come from others. It comes from yourself.

I am atheist; not Christian. I have my own mind and beliefs, and you have yours. I'd appreciate it if you didn't shove your religion down my throat.

thanks 8D

Yep! Moses like ToL Moses. :3
Thanks for the tip! I will try not to make it too dark. It was his bling that I was planning on using resin for, though up 'till now I was afraid it wouldn't work. Awesome~ Excited now, even though it isn't planned for a while.
