So~ this is my first tutorial so my progress photos are not the best but this is super easy!! Also This scythe is not only sturdy, but it is convention approved!! So enjoy!! :)
@MATERIALS@
- 2 PVC pipes (yes two, and one has to be bigger than the other, big enough so the small one fits inside it)
-a sheet of acrylic board (it’s at Menards for like 10 dollars)
-red spray paint
-white acrylic paint
- that sealer stuff (workstiff or whatever it called)
- rope (use a rope that is ribbon, you can find it at Joann’s, most conventions don’t allow real rope)
-white fabric (i used some cheap fabric at Walmart)
-Hot glue
- A maker or sharpie
- Sawzall or a sharp cutter similar
STEP ONE- The Base
Take the small PVC pipe and spray the shit out of it with the red spray paint. You don’t have to spray the bottom half (i did) because you will be putting the fabric on the bottom for the handle.
Next cut the white fabric into strips (or one long strip) and wrap it around the PVC. It doesn’t have to be neat. Only go about 1/3 to ½ up the PVC
Next, take that rope out and just hot glue it inside of the bottom of the PVC pipe. I filled the bottom with hot glue but you don’t have to do that
BOOM the base is done! Now the blades are a little trickier
STEP 2- Blades
There are three blades on Hidan’s scythe. The bottom blade is the smallest and the top blade is the largest. My blades on my scythe are thicker than Hidan’s in the anime but, it was my choice cause I wanted it to be sturdier
So take out the sheet of acrylic, and draw the shape of the blades out on the sheet (it’s okay cause you’ll spray paint them later). Using the sawzall, cut out the blades that you drew!
Next, you’ll spray paint the blades red (note to be very careful doing this cause the paint can crack easily and ruin the acrylic. (I messed up the first time and had to by a shet of acrylic)
Now if you look at Hidan’s scythe in the anime, you’ll notice that the tops of the blades are white. So, using painters tape, tape out the part where you want the white line and then paint over the red.
Like this! After it dries, spray it with the workstiff to keep it together! (Also for the white you can use spray paint but I decided to use acrylic)
STEP 3- Putting it together!
Now, my original plan was to cut off the backs of the blades and hot glue them to the larger PVC but my dad had a better idea.
Using you’re niffy Sawzall, cut three slits into the small PVC (the base of the scythe) the size about an inch from the back of the blade. Here’s a diagram:
Now just shove the bade you made into its corresponding hole. The paint job could get slightly messed up in this process, but it can be touched up. I actually bought red acrylic paint as well for this reason
It’s SOOOOO close but something’s off~
take out the big PVC and cut it the same size as the slits (so you’ll have three chunks of PVC). You take out the Sawzall and cut the pieces in half! (don’t forget which half belongs to which piece)
After that, you paint these pieces white. You can use the acrylic or I had some white spray paint around to use.
The pieces, after they’ve dried, go over top of the small PVC where the blade is:
(ignore that it’s a crappy drawing but it works) you use the hot glue to glue the pieces of large PVC onto the small PVC/blade
AND FINALLY IT IS DONE!!
A convention approved Hidan scythe that isn’t made of cardboard!! Mine is about 5ft tall so just be careful about where you swing it. If you want to make it shorter, just cut the small PVC down to a better size for you :)
I hope you enjoyed… this was my first tutorial. Thank you all for reading!!
