Genesis' Rapier Walkthrough by samhawkeye

A lot of people have been asking me how I made my Rapier. At first I didn't really want to explain because it took a very long time and a lot of effort to make and I didn't want others to be able to copy it easily. It's been a while since I made it though, and I think I'm going to retire my Genesis costume anyway since I was never really satisfied with that costume.

I didn't make every little detail clear in this, and it's not an exact step-by-step guide of what to do, but it should be enough to make your own with a bit of creativity.

And again, there are other ways to do this as well! These materials were just the most convenient for me when I was figuring out how to make this every little step of the way.
