Alice madness returns game. In the last episodes, there are sexual themes that only a Complete Monster could have put in a child's mind. Her mind was already shattered. She just added another layer of delusion on top of what was already going on there - Bumby was the only person who managed to get close to her to let her open up a little, and then proceeded to poke around in her mind.

The Hobby Horse found in Tundraful. Unlike the light-weight Vorpal Blade, with its quick slashes, Alice must first lift up the Hobby Horse before and after every swing requiring deliberate timing to make use of its slow swings. Also, Alice cannot move in different directions while she is attacking. These slow attacks.




Material used:
  • white foam, 2mm
  • worbla's finest art
  • champagne corks
  • acrilic woodglue
  • relief paint
  • gold, silver, black and brown acrilic colors
  • brushes



The first thing I did is that I printed Kikunai vectorised vorpal blade !
Print it an A5 size (half A4), and it'll come with the measure I used. I did not use it to made the 'flowers' design, but simply as reference for the blade measurements and then for where to start and where to end with the flowers.


I firstly cutted one pattern on white foam. I used 2mm thickness, but if you want a really resistant blade I advice you to use 3 or even 5mm. It won't be thin as a real blade, but you'll can move it around more freely.


I traced two more patterns, paying attention to keep the stitchy side to the right side of the patterns.
Attention!! cut these bigger than the foam shape, because this two will embrace the foam in the final blade. I suggest you to cut them at least 5mm bigger.

You'll come with 3 shapes of the blade. Just attach the two leaves of worbla together and keep the foam in the middle. This method is called the 'sandwich method' and it's the most used to made anything (from blades/swords to armors) with worbla, since the foam itself won't stand.


I painted both the handle and the blade with acrilic woodglue, you can also use air-drying clay, papier-mache and/or putty. When it hardened, sand it down until the surface is completely smooth, then cover it with a layer of clear varnish.

Once the vernish has dried, sketch the pattern on the handle and on the blade with a permanent marker. In my opinion, you don't have to exactly follow the reference, no-one will notice if you slightly change the adornment. Still, I used this as a reference for the handle, and the vectorised pattern I've linked before for the blade.


When you're satisfied with the sketched on pattern, draw it with a 3D pen. I used some relief paste, is something for painting outlines on glass and porcelain. Let it dry for a long time, otherwise it will ruin the whole pattern if you paint on it while it's still fresh.

(I used pebeo metal touch deco, in Gold code 301)


As i was saying some passages ago, I used 2mm foam, so my blade isn't really stable. I adjusted that by inserting a steel piece (like 5cm) in the blade, along the part that inserts in the handle. This will give stability and make it more safe.

Painting the handle in gold (I sprayed it) and the blade in silver (I used acrylic). Clothes hangers with clips come in handy if you want to paint both sides at once.



About shading: this is what really makes cosplay props alive, and the better you master it the better your props will look! (I'm not very good at it otl)
You shade the silver by mixturing it with some black, and creating a dark-gray, and you shade the gold with some brown. There are two ways of shading:
1. The elaborate way: shade it with a tiny brush, know the shadows and recreate them on the pattern.
2. The fast and easy way: dab the color all over it with a sponge, then roughly wipe over it with a tissue. Repeat a few times.
Method one is more suited for things that are new, taken care of and clean. Method two fits old, battered and dirty objects.
Guess which one I used! ;)

These are the two pieces ended. Attach them together with hot glue and make sure it stays the way it is. And that's it! You're done!

(I don't have photos of the blade attached because I'm going to put blood all over it for my Hysteria Alice, so--- rip good patterns and shading I did only for this tutorial!)

This is a guest entry from Stickweeds crafting and cosplay. He is a blacksmith as well as a cosplayer and as a commission I asked him to forge me a Vorpal Blade. And it turned out beautiful.

Even though this is not a 'do this at home' prop, I still wanted to share with you the awesome process of turning a piece of a car into a knife. Here is the story told by the smith himself.

How to Vorpal blade
First thing I did when I made the Vorpal blade, was of course, getting a template. That was the easy part.

Then I had to go find the right material. As some might think, steel ain't just steel, the carbon level has to be right. Of course one could just buy steel made for knifes ready to be cut and formed. I didn't like that idea, so I went to an old farm where we found a ancient Range Rover. We ripped the suspension from the wreck with a force untold to human kind! It was brutal, but yet very elegant.

Now, the reason I choose this kind of steel, is that spring steel, it treated correctly makes a very efficient blade material.

Now the fun and.. hot part, shaping the blade! At first my piece was bent and way to thick, so I had to beat some sense into it, first by bringing out my sledge hammer to make the rough shape. This is two person job, one to hammer and one to hold and steer the steel.

Once the it starts to look like a knife, we change to using a regular hammer.
When the shape is as it should be, the grinding begins, where I grind of slagger, and polishing up the blade.





Now i had a clean blade with the right shape, next step.. ACID TRIP!. or etching as it is normally called. I used a method called electrolysis.







I covered the blade in electric insolating tape, made sure it was put on real tight. Then I drew up the whole flower leaf thingy. I used a scalpel to cut out a negative of the pattern.

Once it was ready, I made a mix of acetic acid and salt. My etching ”machine” was made from a 12V 1A car battery, (there's a lot of car in this knife). I connected the positive end directly to the steel, and the negative end to a cotton ball soaked in the acid/salt mix, then i simply pressed the cotton ball onto the parts i wanted to etch, for four minutes to each area.

And thus the blade was made, now the handle!
(Note from Chrix; as she thought a lot of people would like to hold the knife, she specified that it should not be sharp. But it can be.. really sharp.)


Handle this!
I wanted the handle to be special, not some carved wood or anything like that. So I went with a full cast in bronze. This was new to me, and I had to try out a few attempts before I got it right. My first attempt was poorly researched, and that went back to bite me, literally. I was being impatient with the plaster, so there was still water bound in it when i poured 1200 Celsius hot bronze into the cast. As you might have guessed, that made the water expand, thus pressing the molten bronze out of the cast at a unhealthy speed. After that episode I changed to sand casting instead, which yielded much better results.
The model for the handle i carved out in wax, it took one hell of a time!

Once the wax model was done, it was pressed into the casting sand, leaving a prefect imprint. Feeling bold, i mounted the knife inside the mold, so that the molten bronze would bind it self to the blade, very risky since I could fuck the entire thing up to a point where i had to redo everything. Lucky this was a success!



All there was left was to finish of the look of the blade, grinding and polishing of excess material and making fancy as fuck.

And so the Vorpal Blade came to life! Chrix also wanted a stand for this blade and I made a wood stand so the knife can always be in the center of attention.
