Alright, ill firstly note that im not particularly sure if this kind of thread should go here, but feel free to move it someonewhere to point me in the right direction if im wrong.

Alright, well, i need this for halloween this year, and it was suggested that i go as sephiroth. Yes, He's too cool for you, you wont pull it off, very typical. i dont really care.

Yes, im going to make myself a replica of the sword. DDoes anyone know accurately how big it is? Im thinking ill just cut/sand down a large piece of plywood and paint it.

Next problem, the shoulders. I want the look of metal, and im cheap, so in actually doing this? my first thought waws make a base for them, find some cheap form of thin plastic to paint, then cover the base in. Could work, but i still dont know if it would look good.

Lastly, wings. Im sure sure on how i would go about this, and it seems to be the hardest part of the costume. I havent looked too hard into making it yet, but i believe my nan is experienced her, so i will ask her and update, maybe. But i adore the wings myself, so i would like to try my best to find something that would work here.

Please spread ideas on what you know that can help me here, criticise my ideas (always welcome, ive never done anything like this before) or just.. yeah.

Thanks ^ Sephith
