Artist's Comments

I had a lil dilemma making this... considering i don't have the game, I just made this from a random screenshot.. so if someone knows the official name for this bow feel free to share. (although ppl might not recognize it since I added my own creativity to the prop)
I like it all the same

Materials
fun foam, black elastic for detailing, fishing wire
Arrows: plastic, fun foam, feathers

When thought fails you, use your instincts, if those fail, you're screwed.

not really - i can't draw the bow completly or else the hooks that holds the fishing wire would ... break or pull out - but i added enough slack to halfway do it - i'm considering adding a second wire at full draw length - what do you think?

I got some in a no name crafts shop 3/$1 (12 x 9 in) - so try looking at Micheals - in Canada (but your from the UK) ummm do you have Wal Mart over there, they may have some? fun foam is used a lot for kids crafts so check out stores like that - i dunno what else to say...

well - my problem is with my personalility; is that if i'm going to make a weapon then i would make it at least half functional . . . . (not that the katana set i made is functional since i think they'd snap if i hit them too hard ). . . so i can't really talk, if i was making from steel and such i'd (risk the cops) and make it functional lol

in the end it wires down to personal preferance - but it would help with any cosplay posing to be able to do the 'full drawn' stance with the bow . . .
