Blades (stage 3) + Leggings (part 1)

Alright, I have some more pics of the progress on the blades...

1.) Dad planes the shape of the blades
2.) Dad planing the blade shapes again
3.) Full length - blades facing left (central markings drawn)
4.) Full length - blades facing right (central markings drawn)
5.) Blades (front end) with central markings
6.) Blades (back end) with central markings

The marking shown are where dad will be planing them to shape as the wood is quite thick at the moment. He'll round off the corners to make them safer to carry around.

I also have a few things on the way from eBay: 55mm wooden balls (don't laugh) for the bulb end of the blade handles, wooden circles (which may or may not be suitable - will have to see on arrival - what are you going to do for £3.40 including p&p?), and Hammerite smooth metal silver paint (can't find the gunmetal grey one anywhere - yes Hammerite works on wood as well).

Regarding the leggings...I DID get burnt. Nevermind. Me and mum are looking at another way of getting the red panels on. She'll be home tomorrow after her weekend away and we're aiming to get them done and looking as they should by the end of this week.

The finished BloodRayne costume is nigh.
