Hello I'm doing a Date Masamune cosplay/crossplay with my friend as Sanada Yukimura, for a skit in Sakura con..... probably.

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to make swords or where to buy them ( plastic ones?) that won't break during our "fight" scene?

*NOTE: I'm not in Wood or Metal workshop so i can't use tools. But i can find things at hardware stores and stuff.

Have you made the 6 sword sheath/holster?? if so.. can you help me out? http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=193107

...what a coincidence...my friend and I are gonna be Masamune and Yukimura for a skit at Sakura Con....with Oyakata-sama too.
D:

Sure do hope our skit ideas are different. >.o

Anywho...for Masamune's swords I'm thinking of utilizing featherweight's cardboard katana tutorial as a guide.

PS: Also...I noticed our custom user titles...made me lol.

I know you said you dont have a wood or metal workshop, but you did say you have access to a hardware store, now you can make swords VERY CHEAPLY and that includes the tools, the miniumum tools you would need to make a sword is:

Coping Saw
A Power Drill
Craft Knifes
Wood Filler
Wood Glue
SandPaper
A rasp or follow this tutorial on how to make one:

Besides the power drill, everything else will come cheaply, then just follow these tutorials:

DAWW! SERIAL? 0_0; yeahh i sure do hope so ^^; but I said "maybe" ...sooo we might not lols.
I just placed the idea if my friend wanted to do a skit for sakura and stuff lols.

Chiok: AWWEEsome!! Thx, it looks easy enough

We'll have to find each other at the con.....that'd make for an interesting photoshoot.
xD

As long as our skit ideas aren't too similar and we're not placed too close together in the performance order shouldn't be a big deal (if you do wind up doing a skit).

Good luck to us both and our Yukimuras making these costumes.
They should be fun and difficult.
