Dude, you should go to home depot, make a potato gun in the shape of a staff weapon. You could use pvc, and than paint it, and cover it with carboard in some areas. iv been working on my own. will upload pics soon.

the Nerf nerf glow darts are much less painful and cheaper.

Or maybe even LED throwies instead of glowsticks. Good costume. If someone wants to refine it, they can, but the basics are there.

OK, my friend and I attend Dragoncon every year. For the 2010 con we are going to go as this... HOWEVER we are taking it a step further. Once this process is complete we will be applying fiberglass over it to give it more durability. When we get to that point I will post a how to on that. My friend is working on a staff weapon that will open and close ... Will have that up too. :)

pretty good for just cardboard.

Not the best I've ever seen, but still pretty darn good for being made out of cardboard. Professionally made versions of this would cost a whole lot of money, and you wouldn't get the satisfaction of having made it yourself. Constructive criticism, The belt clasp could be done a better way. It has to stick out the way it is now. Maybe make it like an actual belt, wouldn't be that hard. Very good job, four stars
