Construction Details:

For AX07 I decided to try my hand at making a lightweight keyblade because I was worried my metal Kingdom Key wouldn't be allowed inside the convention. Not only that, I don't think I could have lasted carrying that around all day. (It is a bit heavy.) I picked Oathkeeper because it is pretty. XD I took Soyo's idea of using foam core board, model magic and rigidwrap as materials to use. I cut out the shape in foam board (had to use 1 and 1/3 of a piece since the board was too small otherwise), put dowels inbetween the two pieces, and basically took my time molding model magic around the whole thing so it sort of had a 3D look to it. (That took the longest. -_-) I sanded the model magic as best I could to get some of the bumps out. It photographs well but up close you can see the impurities--so to speak. XD The rigidwrap (plaster sheet stuff) was used to reinforce the weaker parts at the top of the handle so the keyblade wouldn't break into two pieces. o_o;; I then painted everything. It was sort of difficult to figure out the correct colors for Oathkeeper because in game and in certain art its colors change. I took screen shots of it as best I could and went for a more in-game look. (The keychain is also based in-game.)
