#roadhogshook

Week 8-9

Guess who was so engrossed in cosplay, they forgot to take pictures while making it!🙃🙃🙃

But anyway, i bought some sport adhesive black wrap and wrapped it around the handle of the hook. I also bought a chain link to attach the chain to the hook.

I bought 10ft of a black plastic chain from amazon and painted it to look like weathered iron.

I also tried making the chain spool out of foam, modpodge, hot glue, and a toilet paper roll. I really wish i would've remembered to take pictures because idk if its clear as to what i did.

But im also in the process of paitning it so it's not completely done.

And finally i found a substitute for the tire that sits on roadhogs shoulder pad. I bought a circular floral base, cut it in half, hot glued the halves together then carved a tire shape out of it. I then sealed the entire thing with modpodge, painted it, then finally hot glued the piece onto the armour.

Its a really good thing its light because i didnt want to have to carry an actually tire on my shoulder.😰

Thankfully, im close to wrapping up this cosplay. All i need to do is paint the chain spool and finish the shoes!!!!

Week 6

I began painting my cosplay this week as well as using the leftover worbla to make the nails in the hook.

I also forgot to put the bolts onto the base of the hook, so I took some foam and hot glued them on. I also hot glued the nails in too because I couldn't risk them falling off when they dried.

Finally I double coated the new parts with mod podge and it's now ready to be painted!

Total time: 4 hrs

Starting week 3:

I decied to gkue the pieces together using cement glue.

When it dried I drew lines to mark where the curves of the blade and the handle was going.

Cutting into 2 layers of the foam I made an indent and decided to glue the wooden stick (Dowell Rod) using gorilla glue. I thought gorilla glue was a good idea just because it expands and doesn't take as long as the cement glue does.

While waiting for the hook to dry, I decided to finish sanding the arm brace and smooth it out using a dremmel and a hand sander some more and make the bolts pop out a bit more.

Total work time: 6 hrs

The next step is carving!!!!!! I'm so nervous since I've made it this far.

Week 3:

I have sanded the hook to become smoother and I've actually made the armor out of pieces of foam. Using a Heat gun I bent the armour to the shape of my shoulder, elbow and wrist so they can fit better.

Week 4-5

I spent all of spring break (week 4) relaxing and getting ready for the next part of priming/painting the hook and armour. This is a small update because even though this is a female roadhog, I didn't want to make it all THAT feminine. (Personal preference of mine) so I order a roadhogs mask from a company I found on Ebay (Joy-Cos) and it came in today!!!

I like it just because it's large enough to fit most ppl and with me, it actaull has room to possible put a speaker or a voice changer in there!! (Still deciding whether or not to do it.) They have other prop masks too so I recommend checking them out!!
