For more photos of the props/armour I've textured, and to see the shuriken in use, take a look through my Wai-con photos (My sister and I are cosplaying FFVII Yuffie & Tifa and their AC versions). [link]

For tutorials on making the props & armour, I recommend Amethyst Angel's tutorials: [link] She does some amazing stuff!

Cosplay:Metal Texture Tutorial by *Risachantag Suggesters Words: Since you can't take weapons to cons, fairs, or pretty much anywhere else, this is great tutorial for making materials look like real metal. The method is simple, and the steps are well-explained. Anyone can follow this tutorial, and the results look pretty darn good! ( Suggested by ^PirateLotus-Stock and Featured by `shelldevil )

This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for posting and for adding the link to Amethyst Angel's tutorials. I was wondering if it would be okay to add this to my anime club's newsletter--I know a lot of the members are interested in making props/making props look more convincing. Either way, thank you for sharing!

is there any way to do this on paper (without paint on it)? I have a prop that has a blade made of posterboard-ish material and i really enjoy your tutorial.

Sure, I don't imagine you'll get as nice a finish working on paper, but it should make it look more realistic anyway. =)

Does this method work with acrylic paint? If the paint is watered down does it produce a similar effect, or does it need to be model paint?

Acrylic paint is a little harder to work with, as it doesn't stick to spray paint very well. If you're working on other surfaces it should work okay, but I recommend using a sealant if you do, as acrylics wear off more easily.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about it that way. ::scurries off to buy model paint::
