WooOOoo~ Close-up shots! *now you get to know how crappy it looks!*
Well, I admit that I like how it turned out for the most part, and It did serve it's purpose for the photoshoot....but it still needs some work.
I don't know how soon I'll get to "finishing" the staff, so I went ahead and started on this. I'll probably add more to it later....
Thank you
for helping me speed this process along! I wouldn't have gotten it done in time for the snow photoshoot without you! ^.^

Don't know if you're still on dA anymore, but wow- it looks really nice!
I actually had a similar problem with my staff - the head was also foam and of a similar V-shape and size, and it too flopped and bent while I was at a convention. I'm thinking of sandwhiching plywood to make it more stable, but that entails pulling it apart. A lesson on why test runs before conventions are so important!
Curious - what did you use to finish and coat your staff?

I'm actually going to use your method for making the staff and I believe I know exactly how to fix the flimsy top part. I'm actually a metals minor in college and when I look at the staff, the thinner part that goes through each spike of the staff, I saw as being highly polished Brass wire, about 7 or 8 guage. this would make it sturdier and can lead into the pvc pipe for the connection
