sword time once more

So I'm once again attempting a Buster Sword. Hoping to get it to look a million times better this time.

Sadly am not able to make it out of wood at this time as none of the places had any pieces big enough of the wood light enough for me to actually hold and anything heavier would probably kill me. ^^;; And not really enough time to order anything.

So we're trying foam again as the base but this time a much thinner foam so its easier to shape and sand. So far proving to be a million times nicer looking.

However, I'm of course SUPER worried about how brittle its going to be. So obviously need to put something on top of it. But I have no idea what! So if any of you know of anything to suggest that can possibly make it sturdier, please do tell. I have a few ideas but not sure what one would actually work.

Oooh, though I'm a bit confused as I can only seem to find sites telling me about it, not where I can buy it or how much it is. XP I already am going to be trying the plastic sheeting method but I'll definitely consider that for the future (or if the styrene doesn't work)

I believe you have to actually call them to place an order~ (I don't think there's an internet checkout for it.)
