:wub: im really in love with the diao chan costume from dw6 and the outfit im making for her is almost done.but i have no idea how to make the head piece and her whip.i feel so lost so please if you have any ideas please let me know and thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! :heart:
For the hair piece I'd be using a mixture of fun foam and fimo (modelling mass, that you put in the oven and when it's cold feels like plastik)

For the whip I'd suggest you check out a building centre.
The handle can be a thin drainpipe out of plastic (just test which lays best in your hand) and for the major other parts I'd check for a thin isolation tube (also out of plastik).
Also see if you can't find small plastic rings.

Cut or saw the isolation tube into regular pieces and grab a soldering rod or something similar to make holes into the end of the pieces. You can either connect them by melting part of the rings, slidding it in the tube-pieces and then melt it back together of you can use the holes to tie the rings to the tubes with a stronger string.
The details and decorations I'd make with Fimo as well.
You can color it by sanding the surface first :)

Hope that explanation is somewhat of a help. :)

I'm a proud fan of BOTH, Samurai Warriors AND Sengoku Basara.
Bashing either at own risk.
