Merlin's Armoury - Caveman Club - Inc Design Process
Construction of Caveman Club for University Caveman Club Night
This is really and extension of the Merlin's Armoury mace section but I thought this should be on its own. This club was made more recently whilst at Brunel university for a caveman club night to get the best fancy dress prop.
The gallery below shows techniques used to construct similar items from :
Basic concept design sketches.
Cutting out basic foam and rod components.
Adding in reinforcing cross-rods for the hand guard.
Squaring the rod with for corner foam parts down the shaft.
Building the inner foam body up with up with Plastazote foam and contact glue.
Adding the hand guard foam.
Adding the top and bottom base foam caps.
Building up the outer softer furniture foam shell and spikes.
Painting the body.
Painting the outer texture and adding fake fur grip.
Accessorising with a costume to go with it with some dirty up make up.
