Sokka's Weapons

最近，头像：最后一次Airbender重新添加到Netflix。我的妻子和我长大了看着它，并在大约一个月内完成整个系列！这个展示中的许多武器都是如此标志性的，有趣的是，所以我只需要尝试重新创建一些。

我选择了Sokka的武器，因为它们看起来很简单，但一些很酷的复杂性看起来很简单。在这方面，我将教你如何制作索卡的武器。砍刀和两个俱乐部在整个季节1和2中使用的俱乐部。是的，这是一个指导价格的3件物品。现在这是偷窃！

Supplies:

For this project, you will need:

• Jigsaw
• 一个2'x 4'x 0.5“厚的MDF表
• 白色喷漆/底漆
• 白色3“发泡蛋白酶x 2
• Blue + White Acrylics (for color mixing - or you could just buy the exact color)
• 150砂纸
• 困境6“宽x〜4.5'长。（在Joann的面料上，它们会将其切割成您想要的任何尺寸，因此即使面料为19美元/年，您只会最终满足2美元。）
• 电源钻头（我使用的较新版本）
• 5/16" and 1/4" drill bits.
• 0.235" diameter dowels. (I picked these up from my local dollar store - I feel they work best for this project)
• 夹具

When you make props of any kind, you want accurate reference photos so that you can match the accuracy of item you are trying to replicate. I would include the images I used but I don't want to be penalized for copyright issues. However, I will say that if you type in "Sokka's Weapons" into google, you will find everything you need! (Colors and designs may vary depending on the reference photos you end up choosing.

一旦我找到了我的照片，我开始勾画出那些武器在玩尺寸时看起来像的样子，所以这将是一个合理的尺寸。

To get the accurate size of the balls that are to be mounted, I took one of them and cut it in half. That way, I could get the exact outline of the ball. As a result, the ball will fit perfectly later on.

I have taken these sketches and uploaded them as a PDF for your convenience you don't have to go through trial and error like I did.

接下来，一旦您打印出模板，请仔细切断与精象刀的形状。现在使用剪出模板，将轮廓追踪到一块中密度纤维板（MDF）上。您可能希望使用一些磁带来帮助您在跟踪时保持模板移动。尝试将追踪更加稍微在树木上更多，因此在切割时可以夹在额外的边缘。

I made the mistake of trying to conserve wood for future projects but it made cutting an extra challenge.

With the MDFclampeddown to a secure surface, carefully cut the traced wood.

When using a jigsaw, keep the bottom flush with the board. if you don't, you might start to rattle and dislodge wood which isn't very safe. Also, keep your hands clear from the path you are trying to cut.

你可能已经注意到武器中有一些非常紧张的曲线。当发生这种情况时，你想要释放削减，以便您可以使这些类型的剪切变得轻松。为此，我从边缘开始，直接进入曲线，以便我有一系列线朝着曲线。然后，我慢慢地从曲线上移除碎片，直到我有一个清晰的射击来完成切割。

Relief cuts make complex shapes easier to cut and reduces the chance of accidentally cutting into the actual piece.

In total, you are going to need to drill7 holes. 3这些孔将在手柄下方装饰孔。Drill these holes completely through the weapon. Another2 holes将钻入两，3英寸的球体。这是它们将安装在木制销钉上的地方。最后，last 2 holes将在图像中指示的木块的横截面钻。Drill these last four holes about 1/4" deep.

手柄下方的3个孔will use the 5/16" drill bit.

剩下的4个洞提到将使用1/4“钻头。

When you have finished drilling it is time for some sanding.

MDF是由旧锯尘和粘合粘合剂组成的材料。这也使砂光变得非常容易，这也开辟了砂光的机会。在沙子时务必戴面/嘴巴保护。关闭MDFS的颗粒非常小，可能对肺部有害 - 所以要小心！

使用您的150个砂砾砂纸，在切割步骤的结果上开始打磨可能出现的脊。当我这样做时，我试图太多地打开边缘，以便武器仍然更加冻结/卡通。如果你想屈服于边缘，那可能是一个酷炫的样子！

With that same sandpaper, sand down the seam found on the two Styrofoam balls to make the sphere smooth. Also try and remove any pieces of extra Styrofoam sticking out from the main surface. Styrofoam can easily pull apart though so be careful when sanding.

你可以讲述这一步的大差异打磨！

After the balls have been sanded, I sealed the cavities with Quik-Seal. To do this, mount the ball onto the small wooden dowels and spread the quick seal on to the ball with your finger. Smooth out any irregularities until the ball is completely smooth. After that, I took mod podge and covered the surface of the ball with two coats. Then, I finally sealed the ball with some spray paint/primer mix.

All of this makes sure that the ball ends up smooth and seamless and ultimately protects it from dissolving when it comes into contact with spray paints, acrylics, etc.

When everything is sanded, take a paper towel or a rag and wipe as much sawdust off of the wood as you can. Extra sawdust on the wood can cause paint not to stick or to dry unevenly. However, if this happens, you can always sand away the excess and try again. (And no I'm not speaking from experience..... maybe)

*请勿*使用湿纸巾或抹布擦拭锯末 - MDF在暴露在水中时非常容易发生磨损。

I gave each of the weapons three coats of flat white paint/primer mix and still had plenty of paint left over. Be sure to get under the curved surfaces and in between cracks.

For the blueish accents found on the weapons, I just took basic blue acrylic and mixed it with white until I achieved the correct shade. I lightly traced the borders of where I wanted to paint I then applied the paint according my reference photos.

注意：您的涂料的颜色/着色可能是您在该指示的开头选择的参考照片的主观。我的照片根据某个照片，球最终比秀中的一个稍微暗。像总是一样，你如何接近这个步骤完全取决于你。

Once everything has been painted and has dried, take the leather/pleather material and cut it into strips. When I was cutting these strips I tried to make the edge as clean as possible. I cut them to be about 4.5 feet long and about 1" wide. (You don't need a lot of material - I spent about $2 on fabric and I still had tons left over) Then I applied glue on the shaft and wrapped the pleather around the hilt. I would recommend a singe layer wrap. However, if you are using a thinner material, 2-3 layers might be better.

Repeat for all 3 weapons

最后，最后一件事是将两个领域装在武器上。为此，拿小木制销钉并将其修剪下来，以便从球延伸约1/4“。检查以确保销钉将适合孔，使得球将互向武器。接下来，将销销的一端热胶水进入聚苯乙烯泡沫块球并将另一端粘在主体中的孔中。

确保良好支持,the super glue dries completely. This will make sure that the sphere does not become loose or removable at a later time.

Once you are done mounting both spheres you should be 100% done with this project!

Now you are done with this project, it is time to take on the Fire Nation! - with the help of your amazing new weapons of course.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this Instructable! I hope you had as much fun making it as I did.
