#md makes stuff

Yea I made phantom's pin for fun lol it was so random (I literally wasn't even going to do it anytime soon I just got really bored)

It only took roughly 2 hours so a pretty quick project, my hornet needle took about 5

It has a (blunt) pencil concealed inside the point to keep its shape so it can in fact poke stuff, and the whole pin is about 170cm (taller than me 😭)

This thing is held together by tape and spite like most of my projects, though I did add some little wooden dowels inside for extra stability

I ran out of the gold cover while making the hook part and had to use my gold tape, you can't really tell in the phot but irl it looks slightly different from the rest

Frankly its pretty light given its mostly paper and tape but its still got some heft and I sent my friends a clip of me throwing it and subsequently regretting my decisions

I might do a phantom cosplay at some point since my hair is literally predisposed to be phantom

Realised I never posted this LOL

My hornet needle, made of corrugated plastic board, some paper, heinous amounts of tape and rage

Its about 120cm? Here it is next to the longpin you can see here

I think it took me roughly 4-5 hours over 3 days? I was pretty busy at the time

The base shape is made of some plastic board i got for cheap, with a thinner strip running down the middle to give it shape, then I used some paper card along the sides so it can keep its shape

Whole thing was then covered with silver tape, i was originally going to paint it but it looks fine this way so I left it

The ring is just a piece of plastic board and the handle section is 2 thick wood dowels wrapped together with (can you believe it?) tape.

Idk if you can see it but theres a thin white string tied to the loop to represent silk

You can throw it like silkspear and even pull it back with the string! Its surprisingly hefty and feels pretty good to throw

Ive been working on a hornet cosplay on and off so we'll see when I finish that

Heres a very bad photo of me in cos (YES I KNOW THE WIG LOOKS LIKE SHIT I DIDNT HAVE TIME TO FIX IT OKAY)
