Tracer from Overwatch
This is my 2nd time making a pistol-like weapon, so I was confident that I could make her guns. But the thing was that they are twins. So I had to make them both at the same time. First, I had to make the template (as I do with all projects, so I see and visually estimate the size of the object before I start). Then, when I was happy with the size of the handle and the overall look. I cut it in two. So that, the handle was separate from the top base. Above, you see the white handle and the brown base. I did it that way so its a lot easier to cut out and construct, and its made from cardboard. A mistake was to draw on the design. I was too excited to see the design.
I didn't take a pic of when I placed the sticky-back foam onto the guns. Also, I didn't take a pic of the circular part... I was just assuming everyone would see the end result. (yes I know the "silver barrel" is not included. I'll add em later)

Left pic: I made her "Silver barrels" I just took a toilet paper roll, cut it and fused it into what you see above. Then painted it silver (right image) I think my silver paint has gone bad, cuz it stinks!!!
Yes, I know I'm no artist nor have great penmanship. I think in my next project, I have to find a better way to smooth out the glue so that its not as bumpy. I did forget that there is a hole in the handle of the gun. I just carved out a hole in the foam. It makes it look cooler and it has more dimension in a way. Hey, it does look different than her guns. But, its my cosplay... I get to make it however I want and I think it looks like her guns. With slight differences.
Not finished yet. Just gotta add the details, attach the "silver chamber" and seal it. Possibly, carve some pieces out and fix it!!
