  1. Hello, my name is Alexander, I work as a barman, almost all my free time I dedicate to cosplay and crafting of the necessary equipment for festivals. I craft not for sale, just for myself. I'm new to this and I can not boast of special achievements. I'm learning how to craft of tutorials that I find on the Internet from experienced cosplayers. At the last festival, I had to make a blade of Talon character from the League of Legends game. (In the attachment I add pictures of a blade, some photos as I did it and a photo from festival). I was advised to use a material called styrene foam. Simply the insulation sheets that are used when laying the floor. This is a very light material that is easy to handle. During the creation and during the festival, I noticed to my displeasure quite a few small things that made me think about using other materials. Pros of polyurethane foam - it is very light, you can do very large and huge things, huge swords, sledgehammers, etc. Not fearing that you can not then raise it. - It is very easy to form it, you can cut out the necessary details with a simple office knife, and give the desired shape using a trihedral file. - Availability - you can buy it in any building shop and it costs quite a bit. Minuses: -Very fragile and soft - it is necessary additionally to reinforce it with a primer or epoxy resin to give hardness. -Difficulties in painting - as easy it is to mold, as difficult to paint it after - ordinary paints corrode this material, you have to use a lot of layers of primer or spread a few layers of glue on a rubber base. Given all of the above, I decided to try to make the next craft of wood. From electric tools, I only have a drill and I have never worked other stuff. Therefore, I ask you for help in choosing the right tools that I might need for further crafting. As far as I understand it, I would need the scroll saw, I do not quite know how to use it and how to choose the right model. I`ve looked through several reviews, but still understand nothing. In late September, I will have another festival for which I need to make another blade and a few small items for dressing. I hope for you, and I ask you to help me to deal with all this) Possible saws(Hope that you`ll advise smth better and probably cheaper) https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk//scroll-saws My Facebook, if I`m not online right now. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005224757955
