Closeup of Ammy's solar reflector I made for my cosplay to show the routed out recesses, raised edges of the circle sections, and texture.

That is incredible. So much detail. Even kanji.
How long did this take?

~Lithe-Fider Aug 28, 2008 Professional Artisan Crafter

Thank you X33! About three days (one day for the carving, afternoon for painting, and another day sewing and stuffing the fire) That doesn't include the time making the back gear, just for the disc itself.

The painting was the easiest, and the carving was slow/time consuming, and required control, but it was not technically hard *hugs dremel drill*

Ooo. *staring at it*

Wow, that looks fantabulous! X3 love the colors! What is it made out of? Hopefully it wasn't heavy material...^^' (you having to carry it on your back lol)

~Lithe-Fider Aug 13, 2008 Professional Artisan Crafter

ACK I was wrong, I just reweighed it - it weighs only 3/4 of a pound. XDDD LOL

~Lithe-Fider Aug 13, 2008 Professional Artisan Crafter

Thanks!

It's not heavy at all.

Flames & all it's only 1.5 pounds, the final back apparatus (to make it float above my back - not used during Otakon tho) is simple and weighs less than a pound.

The disc is made from that pink insulation foam stuff... [link] (<-- what it looks like that at Home Depot). The flames are sewn and stuffed (like a plushie) and are held out in three places inside with stiff wire.

XD I had a feeling it was insulation foam...that stuff looks mighty impressive after a paint job. X3

omg, tee, but that's awesome! I would love to see it float though O.O
