Introduction: Black Rock Shooter: the Flaming Eye
Step 1: What Does It Take
You will need the following things for this instructable.
Heat gun
Drill
Scroll saw or coping saw
Blue acrylic clip board for Black Rock Shooter (red for Black Goldsaw and green for Black Devil Girl)
A cheap pair of round glasses
Step 2: The Hole Thing
Drill small pilot holes so it will be easier to progress as you saw your pattern out. I pretty much drilled a hole at the tips of the flames and bottom of each curve. Now saw out your pattern.
Step 3: Mold News
Now you will use your heat gun to mold your flames. At a low setting heat each flame (one at time) until you are able to bend it into shape. DO NOT HEAT DIRECTLY ON ANYONES HEAD/fFACE. I used a 6 inch PVC pipe I had on hand to start initial curves. Let it cool and have your wearer try it on. From here you can see where you may have to do some tweaks and heat and mold. Again DO NOT HEAT DIRECTLY ON YOUR WEARERS HEAD/FACE. Take your time so you do not over bend. Heat-bend-cool-check. After you have your shape, heat the little points and form them as if they are flickering like a real flame. For Black Devil Girl you will insert the round glasses and glue into place (do not use super glue it will ruin the surface of the acrylic board).
Step 4: Ta Da!
And there you are, Flaming Eyes!
