I'm getting into a habit of paper macheing all of my stuff. Great for low-budget projects.

(I hope to make all seven millennium items in the future.)

Viveeh- Wow, your stuff is great!

I mostly use foam because my paper mache skills are seriously lacking. But now, after seeing everyones awesome things, I might give it a try again!

[OtakuMusician]

I hear ya! I've only paper mache'd two things; one is decent, the other one is seriously lacking. ;A; I wore my millennium puzzle to SakuraCon and it started ripping at the handle (probably didnt help that I used pipe cleaners as a base) But I know that the more I practice, the better I'll get!

Time Lord

Collar is papier mache, helmet is papier mache over a tin foil form, seals are carved mdf.

Cyberman

Helmet is papier mache over a voice changer helmet, chest unit is cardboard and papier mache.

Ice Lord

And I'm in the process of papier maching one of these.

Helmet and chest armour were papier mache, then coated in fibreglass.

I've got a costume in my pics that was made on severely low budget, Chaos space marine. Cardboard covered with paper mache, this includes the Bolters, chest, shoulders, belt, vambraces, leggings, gauntlet, and boots. The entire project took alot longer than doing with foam and unfortunately I wasn't entirely happy with the result, but with enough effort it can be made to look great if you are decent with your paints!

Does resin and fiberglass sheet count? I mean...it's like paper mache, but industrial style.

[rimikisaragi]

All these make me so happy. I love that great looking pieces can be made for cheap.

So far, I have only paper mached horns for Black Gold Saw. I do intend to create many more however. My current project is a pair of small antlers.

My shield for Cassandra is cardboared covered in paper mache with the center detail made of craft foam. I also made my Doduo head completed out of paper mache which I just covered with fabric and added details.

[PepMaster]

I really don't use paper mache per se. I do pepakura. www.pepakuraindex.co.cc but it's still paper.

[KitsuneNoKoibi]

I don't have any pictures, but I paper mache'd the head of Sakura Kinomoto's clow staff. If you saw me at Otakon 2011 with a Syaoran Li, then you know how crappy it looked. XD

[Sarcasm-hime]

I often use papier-maché to strengthen insulation foam, as it's much lighter than many other methods.

[GroundControl]

I did a lot of paper mache for my Loki helmet.
I also made my Pyromancer mask out of paper mache on top of chicken wire.

[JasonTerror]

speaking of paper mache....can you fiberglass over it? i have a sword im making and its cardboard and i wanted to sturdy it with paper mache then fiberglass over it..would that work?
