Success

Yo, Maddie! This will probably help you in deciphering that sword-crack. Now, if only I could find character sketches or something for the movie art. Would totally kill for those right now.

On an entirely unrelated note, apparently my Shakespeare proffessor now associates me with Horatio. My work here is done XD

It's got too much texture for latex, so I've given up trying to figure out what the hell is going on there and just bought some nice leather-look PVC that's thin enough to drape well.

Fiberglass can be really light and look awesome if you know how to do it well - this guy's (http://fantasyprops.com) work is really good. I have no experience with fiberglass, though, which is why I may use wood for the Masamune if I can figure out someway to keep it from snapping. It's thin enough that it wouldn't be too heavy.

I figure if I can carry this thing (http://www.tokyo-tower.org/gallery/Anime-Boston-2004/AB04_020), which is all wood, around with no trouble other than accidently whacking it on things, I should be good XD
