kensei muguruma
Kensei is the enforcer of the Visords. His apperance seems to be inspire by a steriotipical 'Jar head' (military trained personel), evidence by his cargo pants, military style boots and wife beater vest. His SHIKAI also lends to this theory due to it being a styilized tactical knife. However his BANKAI is reminiscent of a pair of brass knuckes. On this page I will describe how I made his BANKAI.
I began by analysing the the Right image, determining that the grip hole was the width of a fist +1cm on either side. Along with this I extrapulated the rest of the Data and input it to AutoCAD to make the plan.
Unfortunately, AutoCAD does not give an accurate scale of the Size, hence why my props are 10% bigger than is accurate. The line in the middle of the Plan was due to it being too large to print on one sections, so I divided the print and taped the sections together, making the template. I have scale the Plan down in AutoCAD, making it into appropriate dimentions.
The 'brass knuckles' were made from PVC Foam Board or SINTRA. I scuffed the Surface with Sandpaper to create a Key for the Paint to adhere. I coated the Paint in aerosol acrylic paint which is my standby paint being that it is hard wearing after my 'tests' with Ichigo's 2nd SHIKAI. I masked off the black and painted edge with 2 coats of silver paint. Although I have yet to debut this prop I have done a costest of this character with weapons.
