Just so everyone knows, since Bodybagging donated to the prize pool, the entry that Palerider and BB created won't be in the voting. However, it was so totally awesome that I wanted to include showing it because it is an amazing display of what you can make on less than a $20 budget.

Glad that everyone appreciates the Prop, Ill be sure to pass on the good news to Palerider when I see him, for those questions about realism and texures, all I can say is its amazing what a little bit of Latex and rasp can do, Thats the BEST thing about whitestyrofoam, its shaves very easy!

Textures were created using a brush stroke to create woodgrain, and a stipple stroke to create worked iron.

[DeathTouch]

Awe, that is awesome. I thought that bodybagging was just another pretty face.. LOL. Awesome job on that.

 

[trishaanne]

Excellent prop. It looks so REAL! You guys taking orders?

 

[Lauriebeast]

That prop is absolutely beautiful. You guys did an awesome job on it. Did you use regular styrofoam or something different and where did you get it? Again, great job!
