do you do commissions? I need a clear blade and I can make the handle I want to use the resin method that you mentioned but I cant mix it in large quantities where I live the sword I am doing is the shura-to from rg veda. the blade would be exactly like your Gourry cosplay (I adore slayers :3)
I'm kind of tapped out for props right now, but in another month or two I can set you up. Do you have reference images for the sword you're interested in? My google searches aren't bringing up something in particular. Feel free to contact me at email@makotokamui.com with more details if you'd like.
