Arghhh!
It looks like my Sephiroth will be weaponless for Expo. My Masamune sword at 6' (1.84m) is defo too long for the event and is made of solid wood. I may have time to make a replacement thats shorter and made of foam but it will mean taht my Abel won't be complete. Its a touch choice. namely as I have a privite photo shoot booked with Kaz. I really wanted the sword to be featured as its the chance I need to get really good shots of Seph. I'm getting in new plastic to tidy up the armour and getting cats eyes contacts for the eyes. Its such a poo!
When I made the sword two years ago I had no problems taking to events. Since the weapons crack own on swords its been harder to carry it around. So I've gone from being able to carry it freely in a busy shopping centre (the MK center in Milton Keynes) to having to seriously consider binning it.
This has somewhat bummed me out.
I was really hopeing for some good shots. Oh well. Maybe Kaz can work her magic and make Seph look kick ass without the sword.
*goes a bit emo* (which is rare at my age)
I do get the need to be safe afterall I was fully trained on being weapon safe when I did all my stnut training. its just annoying when I spent so much time building it (it was my first ever 100% prop build) and was able to carry it. Now it may become a chav poking divice for our street. Or I could set fire to it for Bonfire Night.
